I’ve gotta be honest with you when I say that I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to linen pants. Outside of jeans and sweats, I feel very lost — mostly because that’s what I’ve worn for most of my life! But I was thinking about it the other day, and I just had to think – … Continue reading “Free Range Slacks + Envelope Dress Refashion”
Hi friends! It is Me Made May this month in the sewing community. It’s a very loose challenge where you set sewing goals for yourself and/or try to wear ‘me made’ clothes every day of the month. I will admit right off the bat that I have about 15 tabs open on my phone for fabric and patterns that I … Continue reading “Me Made May 2021: Closet Re-evaluation”
It seems like every time I write a blog post it always starts with how long I have waited to finally make something — but by some miracle, I actually bought both this pattern and fabric just in the past few months! Hooray! The Marlo Sweater is a new pattern by True Bias. It’s an oversized style cardigan/sweater, which is … Continue reading “Marlo Sweater – Two Ways”
I just want to start out by sharing that I bought this fabric in November 2018. Shortly afterwards, in January 2019 I went ahead and bought this pattern… It’s April 2021, ya’ll! The last time I had made anything like this was in October 2016 when I made the Lonetree Jacket. That jacket took a lot of work, and I … Continue reading “Tello Jacket”
I never felt very motivated to sew jackets or coats while we were living in California (that’s when I really started to sew more, in general). But now that we live in the PNW, I have really felt the pull to make some jackets. I’ve learned that you pretty much need a jacket year round here, so I didn’t just … Continue reading “Unfolding Jacket”
I finished updating my favorite t-shirt patterns blog post and realized that I had left out a few patterns that I really love. So, here I am again with a little a little bit of a different favorites list. I love that drop shoulder sleeves provide a looser fit and aren’t so tight around the underarm area. Drop shoulder sleeves … Continue reading “My Favorite Drop Shoulder T-Shirt Patterns”
It didn’t occur to me, until the end of last year, that I had never owned an apron (cooking, shop, craft, etc). But one day, Dallas was cooking some chicken with his brand new button up shirt that I had just made him, and some of the grease was popping onto his clothes. I had never really cared about his … Continue reading “Aprons of 2021”
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”
I’ve sewn a lot of dresses over the years, and they are what I dream about in my sleep. But to be honest — I am not fancy. I’m a stay at home mom and my daily outfit is a t-shirt and sweats. These are the three t-shirt patterns that I make over and over again. These patterns might not … Continue reading “My 3 Favorite Knit T-Shirt Patterns”
