I have had the Fringe Dress cut out since last September, and it has just been nagging at me for months to just finish sewing it all together! It did turn into winter after I got it all cut out, so I wouldn’t have been able to wear it very much anyways, but I’m so glad to have it finished … Continue reading “Chalk and Notch – Fringe Dress”
One of my goals for this year was to make a button up shirt. I had the Cheyenne Tunic on my “make nine” last year, but I chickened out and made excuses. I was SO happy when Allie announced that January would be Indiesew’s “Shirt Month”! I immediately decided that this was the year, and January was the month! I didn’t start making … Continue reading “Hey June – Cheyenne Tunic”
The past couple of years I have had good intentions to make things for different holidays, and it just never happened! (Being pregnant and having a newborn tend to throw off your groove a little.) But at the end of 2017, I was like – This is the year!! I finally have my normal body back, and my baby still … Continue reading “Hey June – Key Largo Shift Dress”
Last week I made muslins of two very popular woven tee patterns, and after having quite a few people interested in a comparison post — here it is! In this post I’m going to be comparing the Scout Tee by Grainline Studio and the Key Largo Top by Hey June. I thought about doing a ‘pros and cons’ list of … Continue reading “Hey June Key Largo Top vs. Grainline Scout Tee”
I’m just not going to quit you guys. There are just too many good variations of this dress and altering this pattern is just too easy. So I hope you are loving this almost as much as I am. 😉 The Panama Tee and I are like cookies and ice cream, burgers and fries, babies and puppies — you get me? … Continue reading “Alina Design Co – Panama Tee Dress, long sleeve + side slits”
I recently unpacked all of my long sleeve shirts (all like 7 of them) and basically got rid of all of them, except a sweater I bought in the men’s section of Kohl’s last year, and a couple of button down shirts that aren’t particularly warm. I think I have gotten rid of almost every shirt in my closet after … Continue reading “Hey June – The Lane Raglan, Neckline Adjustment”
I am so excited to share these Hudson Pants by True Bias, and my newest long sleeve Panama Tee by Alina Design Co., because I pretty much haven’t taken them off since I finished them (don’t worry, it’s only been two days so far. #momlife). They are both SO comfortable, and you better believe I’m making many more. Neither of them would be … Continue reading “Hudson Pants + Long Sleeve Panama Tee”
Have you guys had a chance to check out Allie Olson‘s latest sewing pattern, the Coram Top & Dress?? It was just released in the Indiesew Fall/Winter Collection, and it is perfect for wearing with cardigans and coats all season long. I had the opportunity to test the top version of this pattern, and I know Allie worked so hard … Continue reading “Allie Olson – Coram Dress”
I am SO excited to be participating in the Style Maker Fabrics blog tour! You guys seriously need to go take a look at all of the new fabrics they just got in for fall. I am still completely in awe at the floral rayon that I chose to make my dress. It is seriously the most amazing thing I’ve ever … Continue reading “Style Maker Fabrics Fall Syle Tour 2017”
If I could only choose one pattern for the rest of my life/closet, I would choose this pattern, hands down. This is my 7th (but who’s counting? I’m going to loose track soon.) Panama Tee Dress by Alina Design Co, including the ones that I’ve made for the girls in my family (since we all struggle with finding clothes that … Continue reading “Alina Design Co – Panama Tee Dress, midi + side slits”
