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”
If you’ve followed what I’ve made lately, you know that I’ve been favoring the more over-sized garments. I honestly just really like things that don’t cling to me, and since my body runs warm, I tend to get hot/sweaty easily (tmi?). Even as I look at my fabric stash, every project I have planned is over-sized (at least for the … Continue reading “Lou Box Dress 1 + Crinkle Rayon”

Style Maker Fabrics has such an amazing variety of fabrics this season, and I’m completely convinced that I grabbed the best two. Fabric Details For those of you who have sewn … Continue reading “Style Maker Fabrics Fall Style Tour 2019”
I am a huge fan of French Navy patterns after making The Stellan Tee and The Orla Dress (both FREE patterns!), so I was completely on board to buy this one. I recently made the Stellan Tee again (with some adjustments), and tried to make it look like the tees from Madewell or this tee from Abercrombie, but didn’t come … Continue reading “The Astair Tee”
I snagged the Allegro pattern from Love Notions a couple months ago with the intent of making this exact skirt, and I’m SO glad that I did! This was my first time using a Love Notions pattern, and I’m happy with it! The pattern includes pant, shorts, and skirt options. My skirt was inspired by this skirt (below) that I … Continue reading “Allegro Skirt”
When I was fabric shopping in LA in May, I saw this gorgeous linen blend fabric and immediately thought of a shirt on my Pinterst board that I wanted to recreate (inspiration photo below, via Damsel in Dior). At first, I thought I would take it easy and just make a Willamette Shirt, but the more I looked at my … Continue reading “Willamette + Carolyn Mashup”
About a year ago when the new ‘ask me any question’ thing came out on Instagram Stories, I tried it out and was surprised to have people mostly interested in my machines. I should have written this post a long time ago, but I have learned so much in the last year, so better now than never! I currently have … Continue reading “My Machines”
I feel like I have had the inspiration for this dress (shown below) on my Pinterest board for an eternity, but it’s probably only been a couple of years. The inspiration dress is from the blog Polienne, and it’s a vintage dress that she found at a thrift store. Polien is a style & travel blogger from Belgium, and I … Continue reading “Shelby Dress”
