This isn’t quite the 30th birthday that I had in mind, but we’re all having different kinds of birthday celebrations this year, aren’t we? I did still get around to making a birthday outfit and I’m really excited to share it! This is my all time favorite t-shirt pattern, the Panama Tee, and New Look 6456, which is a wrap … Continue reading “2020 Birthday Outfit: Panama Tee + Wrap Skirt”
I had a really rough go at my first attempt at the Fennel Fanny Pack by Sarah Kirsten. My frustrations stemmed from using too large of a seam allowance when I sewed the zippers on, and spiraled from there. SO, TAKE NOTE — When you sew the zippers, make sure you try the pieces up to the other pieces that … Continue reading “Fennel Fanny Pack”
This Tropical Shirt (Wardrobe by Me) for Dallas has been cut out and sitting on my ironing board since MAY, and I finally finished it! He’s VERY happy about it, and it turned out great! The pattern and instructions are great, and I didn’t have any issues. I think the next time I make it, I’ll bring the shoulders in … Continue reading “Men’s Tropical Shirt”
This Cris Wood Sews Envelope Dress (zero waste pattern!) didn’t fit very well at 35 weeks pregnant, but it’s perfect now — nursing zipper and all! I used a 14″ zipper, but it definitely didn’t need to be that long for the front center seam (10″ would probably work fine). I just sewed the zipper in first and then did … Continue reading “Envelope Dress (Nursing Friendly)”
This is the Geranium Dress by Made by Rae paired with the bloomers pattern by Wiksten. I really love how they both turned out. I made the size 0-3 months (that size is free!) and it fit Vanessa perfectly at 2 weeks old! She was born 10lb 6oz though, so she was a little bigger than most babies at that age. … Continue reading “Children’s Geranium Dresses”
I decided I needed a nursing friendly house dress at around 7 months pregnant. I still had plenty of my favorite knit fabric left over from the LA fabric district and black 12″ invisible zippers, so I got right to it! This is the Santa Fe Top by Hey June lengthened to be a dress (no maternity adjustments). I love … Continue reading “Nursing Friendly House Dress”
I’ve worn this cardigan a TON ever since I finished it, so it’s safe to say I love it. This fabric has been begging me all winter to be made into the Esme Cardigan by Named, and it finally happened! I had to shorten the pattern by about 10″ because I didn’t have enough fabric for the neckband, but I still … Continue reading “Esme Cardigan”
This is the Mira Dress by Fibre Mood, and I love it! I even loved it so much that I made another one that you can see down below. I bought the pattern when Fibre Mood wasn’t including seam allowances, and I thought my brains were going to explode, but thankfully Fibre Mood has added the seam allowances now, so … Continue reading “Mira Dresses”
I finished sewing a few tees last December, and at around 15 weeks pregnant, I realized I was going to need some more comfortable pants to get me through since me and maternity jeans don’t really get along. I already had a two pairs of Hudsons (black and grey), but I really wanted an olive green pair and another black … Continue reading “Maternity Capsule Wardrobe”
Hey friends! I haven’t posted anything here since October?! Well, now you can probably see why! 😉 I am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and we moved to Washington state (hence all of the pine trees). I was really sick all through November and December, plus we had to pack up our entire house before taking off to visit our extended … Continue reading “Joanne Faux Wrap Dress”
