There are few patterns that I buy immediately on release day, but the Perkins Shirt by Ensemble Patterns was one of them. When I saw it, I immediately thought of this shirt on my Pinterest board (which may or may not have been her inspiration, who knows), and I had to have it. But first, let’s … [Read more…]
Most of the things I’ve been making lately have been on my list for so long, but I can honestly say that I didn’t really plan on making the Mandy Boat Tee (FREE PDF pattern!) until a few months ago when I heard on the Love To Sew Podcast that the hosts, Caroline and Helen, really … [Read more…]
I was in love with the Nikko Top by True Bias when it was released and I had this exact version (short sleeved) in my head. I was nervous to make it, though, because I completely hated turtlenecks when I was little. I also don’t really like things around my neck most of the time, except … [Read more…]
I’m so excited to share this dress today because it turned out exactly that way I hoped! Don’t you love when that happens? I used 3 different patterns to make this ‘frankenpattern’ dress (fitting since it’s almost Halloween!). This dress was inspired by a dress I pinned years ago (photo below), and when I saw … [Read more…]
If you can’t already tell — I LOVE this dress! I made a dress really similar to this one last fall (McCalls 7534), and I’m not sure if people were huge fans of it. It might have been because the fabric I chose was pretty bright, but that’s okay, because I STILL love that dress! … [Read more…]
I am so excited to share what Sara from The Sara Project and I have been working on for the last few months! We are hosting a Hinterland Sew-Off! We wanted to team up and do something fun that would include the sewing community and get everyone excited to make a pattern together. The Hinterland Dress … [Read more…]
I have been meaning to make this dress and write this blog post for…lots of months now, and I’m so excited to finally share it! After making the adjustments I needed to, this Charleston Dress fits like a GLOVE! I was so giddy with excitement when I was all done, and it fit so well. … [Read more…]
I first discovered the Reeta Midi Shirt Dress by Named a few months ago. I think I was searching for button up dress patterns because…I’m a little obsessed over here if you haven’t noticed. 😉 The pattern came out last February, so I don’t know how I missed it! Once I found it, I looked … [Read more…]
I have once again made a pattern that has been on my make list for a very long time now! And, since this is apparently The Year of the Buttons for me, the Kalle Shirt was high up on my list. This is another Closet Case Files pattern, just like my Carolyn Pajama Top from last month. … [Read more…]
Has everyone else been dying over the pajama top trend lately?! I LOVE the look styled with jeans. I’ll be honest that I don’t really dig it with matching PJ pants, but the tops separately is gorgeous. I love the piping and curved lapels, and I really don’t see how I could sleep in something … [Read more…]
