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 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

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.

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
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
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'm back tonight with something new I'm so excited to share! The CLUB custom fall line by Raspberry Creek Fabrics is absolutely phenomenal, but this mountain print and the coordinating plaid are my top favorites by far. It's another Finlayson Sweater by Thread Theory! As you may recall, I sewed two of these earlier this year … Continue reading Fall Mountain-wear, Part 1
Isn't this octopus print awesome? I bought it towards the beginning of summer and am just now sewing it up...to continue my trend from my last post! It's another cotton lycra from Raspberry Creek. This Thread Theory Strathcona was such a weird trial of errors. I had initially used a triblend for the body pieces but … Continue reading An Octopus Strathcona
