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

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

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

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

Hand Stamped Fabric Tank

June 2, 2018August 25, 2018Leave a comment

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

Tencel Twill Willamette Shirt

March 8, 2018March 10, 2018Leave a comment

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

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.
We painted our porch a neutral color after ripping out the carpet, and I realized I accidentally made myself a great photo “studio”. 👏🏻🤷🏻‍♀️
Sewing a cardigan when it’s 95F seems kinda weird, but not really when I can never have too many @grainlinestudio Driftless cardigans...with the perfect @raspberrycreekfabrics french terry. 😍
Obviously he loves snuggles. 😂
How is he so big?! For some reason this @lowlandkids Placket Romper makes him look like a legit toddler. I guess that’s because he is, but im pretty sure that’s not allowed. 😭
