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 late to the party, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited! In fact, I am very obsessed with this pattern, the new Ragdoll Raglan by P4P. It checks off all of my boxes for a shirt: Relaxed fit Comfy Long hem Cuff sleeves Dolman silhouette (not a must have but I prefer it) Fun detail … Continue reading Pattern Release: Ragdoll Raglan
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
It's that time again - for the surprise fabric box! This month's BeeBox comprised of 2 yards of Vinegar and Honey's custom brushed poly. Which I (not so) promptly used to make these leggings! As somewhat "boring" as leggings are, I actually haven't made a non-solid pair for myself in quite some time. I went … Continue reading October BeeBox -VHCO

This new … Continue reading Wiggle Dress – Pattern Release

It's the end of September, but you'd never guess it by the weather here in Chicago! It's been in the upper 80's lately and today was especially hot and humid. Insanely odd, but I'm super pleased that these photos ended up looking so "fall" because the September BeeBox is absolutely perfect for a fall dress! … Continue reading September BeeBox – VHCO
I think I just made my favorite fall top to date! As soon as I laid eyes on this Raspberry Creek CLUB subtle floral (and plaid), I knew it was meant to be. I'm all for a floral, but something more subtle is always just what I need more recently. This is the cotton lycra … Continue reading Plaid, Pleats and Raspberry Creek
It's safe to say I'm in love with this pattern! The Brunch Blouse released today and I've already made three. With fabric for two more... This pattern, by P4P, is drafted for apparel fabrics with a soft drape (sorry, quilting cotton!), includes lots of options, dolman sleeves and has a semi-fitted silhouette. Perfection if you … Continue reading Brunch Blouse Pattern Release
