Joanne Faux Wrap Dress

January 22, 2020 by Tori Leave a Comment
Joanne Faux Wrap by Sinclair Patterns

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 … [Read more…]

Lou Box Dress 1 + Crinkle Rayon

October 16, 2019 by Tori Leave a Comment
Lou Box Dress 1 by Sew DIY

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 … [Read more…]

The Astair Tee

The Astair Tee by French Navy

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 … [Read more…]

Allegro Skirt

August 27, 2019 by Tori Leave a Comment

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 … [Read more…]

Willamette + Carolyn Mashup

August 7, 2019 by Tori 2 Comments

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 … [Read more…]

Shelby Dress

July 8, 2019 by Tori 4 Comments

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 … [Read more…]

Willamette Shirt

April 1, 2019 by Tori 8 Comments

I am way overdue on making another Willamette after making my first one in February of last year. My first one was view C, and I made it out of a cotton/linen that was borderline too thick. I lengthened it by 3″, but with mid-rise pants, it still just wasn’t quite long enough for my … [Read more…]

March 27, 2019 by Tori 2 Comments

Hi all! I am so excited to share my favorite knit fabric today! Striped tees and dresses are my love language, and if they happen to be black and white – I fall head over heels. When I saw Heidi (@handmadefrenzy) make a bunch of tops out of the white fabric with black stripes a few … [Read more…]
