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

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

January BeeBox – VHCO

February 4, 2018February 4, 2018Leave a comment

I think this month's VHCO BeeBox is my complete favorite so far!  The colors are very earthy and the fabric is a french terry with a nice mid-weight to it.  I love the pop of pink/maroon too!  It has a very vintage vibe. I decided to do some pattern modifications to get the type of … Continue reading January BeeBox – VHCO

Custom Fabric Applique Raglan

January 23, 2018January 24, 201816 Comments

Are you ready for my favorite shirt of 2018?!  Well, I've only sewed 3 this year so far but this one easily tops the list and probably will for a while! Yes, I made those floral designs and cut them out of crushed velvet using my Silhouette Cameo!  Back in October I took this picture … Continue reading Custom Fabric Applique Raglan

October BeeBox -VHCO

November 15, 2017Leave a comment

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

Silhouette Cameo 3 Review | Magnetic Chalkboard Weekly Menu DIY

November 6, 2017November 6, 2017Leave a comment

I'm here to share my free weekly menu cut file and my review of the Silhouette Cameo 3, as per the "making" part of this blog's name!  If you're as astute reader, you'll remember that I previously shared a review in my Halloween post.  However, I totally forgot that I was planning to share this … Continue reading Silhouette Cameo 3 Review | Magnetic Chalkboard Weekly Menu DIY

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

Skirt/Shorts = Culottes

September 11, 2017September 10, 2017Leave a comment

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

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.
