I bought these jeans last Thursday from the thrift store. I haven’t been to the thrift store very much since the pandemic started, so when I found these, I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be able to try them on. I really liked these jeans, so I took a chance and bought them anyways. They are ‘boyfriend’ fit, so they … Continue reading “My First Time Taking In Jeans At The Waist”
After I had Braden and was nursing, I went to Ross and bought a few button up shirts because I didn’t have almost anything nursing friendly. I’ve since gotten rid of most of those shirts, but there was one that I kept because I loved the style and how it fit. Every time I would wear it, it would drive … Continue reading “Bonn Shirt x Key Largo Top Mashup and Pomona Pants”
The Jarrah Sweater by Megan Nielsen has been on my list ever since it was released, and I finally got around to making it! I made this towards the end of pregnancy, and when October rolled around and temperatures dropped, I realized that I fit into it! Then I wore it for 3 days straight. Haha. This fabric is the … Continue reading “Megan Nielsen – Jarrah Sweater”
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 “Sarah Kirsten – 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 “Wardrobe By Me – 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 “Cris Wood Sews – 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 “Named – Esme Cardigan”
