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

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

This new … Continue reading Wiggle Dress – Pattern Release

September BeeBox – VHCO

September 25, 2017September 25, 2017Leave a comment

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

An Octopus Strathcona

August 13, 2017August 13, 20171 Comment

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

Watermelons and Polkadots!

August 9, 2017August 9, 20171 Comment

How can you resist such a combination?!  I know I couldn't when I saw this fabric from Raspberry Creek.  It took me a couple weeks to decide what to make but I finally chose the Favorite Tee and I'm glad I did! As you can see, I decided to color block this one.  This was … Continue reading Watermelons and Polkadots!

More Driftless Cardigans & Penny Raglan

March 18, 2017March 18, 20174 Comments

Happy Saturday!  In light of the annoyingly cold Chicago "spring", I've been sewing a lot of items which can be layered for the seasons.  Coming up tonight are the Grainline Studio Driftless and Penny Raglan! I've been obsessed with the Driftless since it was released around this time last year.  I've always liked wearing cardigans, … Continue reading More Driftless Cardigans & Penny Raglan

Holiday Freebies – Part 3

December 16, 2016Leave a comment

As the final Patterns for Pirates holiday freebie, I'm happy to share this blanket scarf!  In reality it's not exactly a pattern, more of a general how-to "guideline". The tutorial recommends anywhere from 1.5 - 2 yards; for mine I used 2 yards, 45" wide.  It also suggests cutting the fabric into a square, but I … Continue reading Holiday Freebies – Part 3

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.
