Hello friends! I'm super excited to share this post with you - it's been in the making for a bit now. I had the opportunity to use two fantastic spandex-based fabrics from Pine Crest Fabrics, which are a great choice for making athletic items: Olympus (available on Fabric.com in fun prints!) and Virtue (available on Fabric.com). First, Olympus. … Continue reading Pine Crest Fabrics Activewear
I’ve made quite a few matching outfits for L and Brian, mainly due to using up the scraps from fabric I had already used to make Brian things over the past couple years. I have made one matching set for me (which I have not yet blogged...better get on that before he outgrows it!) but I … Continue reading Minimalist Swiss Cross Mommy & Me
As you may have seen if you follow me on Instagram, baby boy L joined us in December! I've been quite busy the past couple months, but excited to get to sewing and crafting again more as he just turned two months old and is settling into more of a routine. I was able to … Continue reading Daddy & Me P4P Basic Tees
I know I constantly obsess over the CLUB collection from Raspberry Creek, but today I'm loving some of their regular retail yardage: sweater knit! What's not to love about buffalo plaid?! This hacci sweater knit is the softest fabric ever. I sewed up the Made for Mermaids Women's Nina because I knew it would fit … Continue reading Raspberry Creek Sweater Knit
In my previous post, I realized that I had never blogged this Fairfield! I started it back in March, before I was pregnant, when I still had energy. I finished it up and took these pictures on our trip to Washington right before I was hit with crazy nausea. So now I am finally getting … Continue reading Thread Theory Fairfield Button-Up
I asked on Instagram (follow me!) what I should make to wear to my baby shower. I've not been into super tight "show off the 32 week bump" kind of clothes, which kind of surprised me a little bit. But the most recommended dress by far by all of you was the Wiggle Dress with … Continue reading Maternity Nikko Dress
Even though it's already September, it's still 90+ degrees here in Chicago, so I feel justified in posting this skirt & tank combo before I launch head first into fall style! I made this one last month and even got pictures mid-August but in the whirlwind of working full time, Brian starting a new job, … Continue reading So Classic Sundress Skirt Hack
This is definitely one of my most favorite makes in quite a while - also something I had been planning to make for a long time as well! I was just waiting for motivation and the perfect fabric; I certainly found both in the Raspberry Creek Fabrics fall line this year. Both the large scale … Continue reading Nursing Halifax Hoodie Tutorial + RCF
I seriously love fall sewing. It's become one of my favorite times of the year as I've grown older; likely because it causes me to remember the nostalgia of starting school again (maybe not the reality ;)) and the anticipation of learning. The changing seasons are always beautiful too. In Chicago we don't get a … Continue reading Raspberry Creek CLUB Fall Line – Part 1
