M4M Dylan – Daddy and Me

May 8, 20191 Comment

Here I am again with more matching outfits, because I clearly can't resist!  I sewed up these Men's Dylan and Boys Dylan tees and definitely had to add vinyl too. 🙂 I love that Made for Mermaids has this pattern for both kids and adults because matching is always so fun!  The side panel color … Continue reading M4M Dylan – Daddy and Me

Daddy & Me P4P Basic Tees

February 8, 2019February 8, 2019Leave a comment

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

Thread Theory Fairfield Button-Up

October 8, 2018October 8, 2018Leave a comment

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

Raspberry Creek CLUB Fall Line – Part 1

August 26, 2018August 25, 2018Leave a comment

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

November BeeBox – VHCO

December 11, 2017December 11, 2017Leave a comment

Can I just say I am so jealous that I made this zip up hoodie / jacket for Brian and not for me?  What was I thinking?!  It's incredibly warm and irresistible.  Oh well, guess I'll have to steal it every chance I get. Let's talk about the fabric.  The plaid is a fantastic custom … Continue reading November BeeBox – VHCO

Birthday Newcastle Cardigan

November 26, 2017November 25, 2017Leave a comment

I've had my eye on the Thread Theory Newcastle Cardigan for Brian ever since I first started sewing (2 years ago!).  It always seemed a bit too complicated so I never attempted it until now.  Well, I sewed it for Brian's birthday in September, but we weren't able to get any pictures until now.  First … Continue reading Birthday Newcastle Cardigan

DIY Halloween Party

Happy Halloween!  This year Brian and I decided to host a party for our friends, and I knew I would use the Silhouette Cameo to do a lot of fun DIY decorations!  We had so much fun with it and really went crazy with our ideas.  If you need some last minute inspiration, most of … Continue reading DIY Halloween Party

Fall Mountain-wear, Part 2

I'm back for Part 2 of my installment on the Raspberry Creek CLUB line mountain-wear!  Once again I turned to my trusty menswear pattern company, Thread Theory for the Strathcona Henley again. I used the same cotton lycra mountain print as last time for the sleeve accent fabric, and a solid heathered gray cotton lycra … Continue reading Fall Mountain-wear, Part 2

I think this is the first year I’m not sewing at midnight on October 30th. 😂 I really wanted to get a few pictures before the rain came here in the PNW so that was a good motivation. Anyway Pooh and Piglet wish you a happy Halloween! 🎃

Summer in Oregon ☀️🍓
Looking at my feed made me realize I hadn’t posted here in over a year! But really I don’t expect anyone to see this because I know Instagram hates posts. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But in that timespan I grew and birthed another baby boy, we moved to the Pacific Northwest and I hardly sewed anything. 😂 This linen faux-romper (fauxmper?) is one of my favorite makes though and it’s perfect for hot weather and staying cool. Anyway, just posting to say hi. I’m hoping maybe the dead rodent in the wall of my craft room will decompose ASAP so that I can enter the room without being nauseated. No big deal. What is with my sewing space and rodents?!??? 😭😭😭
This boy is definitely a snuggly one these days! He was always so squirmy and unsettled as a baby, it’s still surprising when he is like this now.
It’s been a while, but hopefully my “sewjo” has returned for the time being. The past few months have been very rough for a few reasons but...sewing is at the top of my self care list and so I’m trying to make it a priority! Easier said than done.
