Raspberry Creek Sweater Knit

November 6, 2018November 7, 20182 Comments

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

Maternity Nikko Dress

October 7, 2018October 7, 20182 Comments

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

So Classic Sundress Skirt Hack

September 18, 2018September 18, 2018Leave a comment

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

Nursing Halifax Hoodie Tutorial + RCF

September 10, 2018September 11, 20183 Comments

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

Maternity Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress – Again

August 12, 2018August 12, 2018Leave a comment

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

So Classic Sundress

August 4, 20182 Comments

As soon as I saw the pretest photos and line drawing for the new P4P So Classic Sundress, I knew it had to be done with gingham.  And it did not disappoint!  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

Maternity Fringe Dress + Raspberry Creek Fabrics

June 9, 2018June 9, 20185 Comments

I'm really loving the entire summer line from Raspberry Creek!  I was able to sew up some of this pretty Sand Stripe in rayon challis and it was an absolute dream. 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

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.
