Mommy & Me Swimwear!

June 19, 2019June 19, 20191 Comment

One of my favorite things about sewing will always be the ability to make unique things for my family.  In this case I knew I needed some new swimwear for this summer, and I wanted to coordinate with baby boy without being too matchy. Last summer when I was pregnant, I almost made myself a … Continue reading Mommy & Me Swimwear!

M4M Dylan – Daddy and Me

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

Raspberry Creek Sweater Knit

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

Plaid, Pleats and Raspberry Creek

September 15, 2017September 15, 20172 Comments

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

I'm missing the warmer weather already!  I sewed up the Mama Cora Culottes about two weeks ago in testing and it was so much warmer even then.  But anyway...I can totally wear them with tights for the fall, so that's good!  Because I love these. Made for Mermaids released this pattern the other day to … Continue reading Skirt/Shorts = Culottes

Hi friends - a quick post tonight.  I just wanted to call out the new Silhouette/Cricut cut files designed by Megan at Made for Mermaids.  The awesome thing is, 100% of the proceeds from these are donated to local Houston charities.

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.
