If you haven’t realized by now that this is a Roscoe Blouse fan page, then you haven’t been paying attention. 😉 I bought this cool double ikat cotton fabric from Fabriclore last July, and I thought I wanted to make a classic button up shirt with it. But then I made 2 other classic button ups in almost the exact … Continue reading “True Bias – Roscoe Blouse with Button Front”
Merry Christmas! Today’s project is a little bit different than my usual clothes sewing project, but I was so excited that these stockings turned out so good, and I wanted to share. We had very limited bag space when we moved in June, so holiday decor was pretty low on my packing priority list. When it got closer to December, … Continue reading “Christmas Stockings”
And we’re back with the other selfless sewing project that I finished this Fall! This Tropical Shirt has been finished since October, but it quickly got chillier here, so Dallas hasn’t had a chance to wear it. Today was miraculously in the 60s, and he was very excited to wear it with shorts. I made his first Tropical Shirt in … Continue reading “Wardrobe by Me – Men’s Tropical Shirt 2.0”
This may seem like a very unseasonal sewing project, but I finished it over a month ago and actually got to wear it a couple of times before it got too chilly. Also – huge shocker – this is the first dress that I’ve sewn for myself in over 3 years! I got a little bit burned out from making … Continue reading “Itch to Stitch – Bonn Dress (Sleeveless)”
Some of you may recognize this Mira Dress from a few years ago. I made it over 3 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter. I love this fabric SO much, but there was just something about the dress that was really bothering me, so I didn’t reach for it very often. Since I only brought a handful … Continue reading “Fibre Mood – Mira Dress (Sleeveless)”
Is there anything better than a really good twirly dress?? I made this Janie Dress (6mo-12yr by Mouse House Creations) for Vanessa a couple of months ago, and she has surprisingly worn it quite a bit! It always makes me so happy when she requests to wear it. She wore it on a cooler day with her new shoes and a jacket … Continue reading “Janie Dress with Ballerina Neckline”
After getting used to using translating apps and beginning to learn a new language, sewing a pattern entirely in French sounded like a challenge I was ready for (even if that is not the language I’m learning). This is the Nusch Blouse (sizes from 86-100cm hip) by Bertina Paris. It’s an absolutely gorgeous pattern, but the sizing isn’t inclusive. I … Continue reading “Bertina Paris – Nusch Blouse”
I’m very excited to share my first make since moving to Portugal! We’ve been here for almost 2 months, but I needed some time to get settled and to wait until things were less chaotic. A few weeks after we got here, the French fabric company, Madame Iris, reached out to me and asked if I wanted to help showcase … Continue reading “Madame Iris Fabric & Olivia Button Up”
Before we started packing and before getting everything ready to move to Portugal, I really wanted to make these two things. They had been cut out for months, and I didn’t want them turning into a frayed, wrinkly mess if they were packed. Thankfully, I made some time one weekend and got them finished! Things got very busy after that, … Continue reading “Simplicity 5801 & Wide Leg Free Range Slacks”
Surprise! I think I’m due for a little life update since we’ve moved, and I haven’t shared anything since April. We have been researching and planning this move for over a year now, and it feels very surreal to be here now. Before we left, we rented out our house, put everything into storage, drove to Utah to visit family, … Continue reading “We moved to Portugal!”
