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. … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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, … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 (currently being edited by Named, I’ll try linking again once it’s released again), and it finally happened! I had to … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
