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
I'm back with another maternity modified Fringe dress! This one was actually what I had made first as my muslin for the Fringe dress I posted earlier. But it turned out even better than I had hoped so I do wear it quite often. Like the other Fringe dress, this fabric is also rayon challis … Continue reading Maternity Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress – Again

Also, can I get a prize for doing 16 functioning buttons / button holes at 11PM and NOT messing any up?! I did test … Continue reading So Classic Sundress

Pattern wise, I used the Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress, with a small modification to ensure it was maternity-friendly: Removed 1.5" from the bodice length … Continue reading Maternity Fringe Dress + Raspberry Creek Fabrics
Look how beautiful this fabric is! It's another lightweight cotton woven from Fibers to Fabric; this one is hand stamped. I only had one yard, so it was a tight squeeze to make this one. I used the (sadly!) retired Grainline Studio Tiny Pocket Tank pattern - with zipper mod. I'd made this one before, … Continue reading Hand Stamped Fabric Tank
Hello friends! I'm back to blogging after a bit of a break consisting of a couple of cross country trips, life decisions and moving. Now that we're a little more settled, I'm excited to share this new Banksia tee! Isn't the fabric stunning?! Speaking of the fabric, it's from an Etsy shop in India, Fibers … Continue reading Botanical Banksia
Can you believe it? I already sewed one of my goal patterns for this year: the Hey June Willamette Shirt! For this procrastinator, that's truly remarkable considering it's only March. Ha! I used the new tencel twill from Raspberry Creek Fabrics and it is divine. Also I think I get a medal because I took … Continue reading Tencel Twill Willamette Shirt
