Elephant Placket Romper

May 18, 2020May 18, 2020Leave a comment

It's finally starting to be a little bit warmer here more consistently...I'm really hoping it stays warm because I am loving this Lowland Kids Placket Romper I made with Raspberry Creek brushed poly! I had been eyeing this brushed poly when it first came out because it has a textured linen type look to it, … Continue reading Elephant Placket Romper

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!

Minimalist Swiss Cross Mommy & Me

February 18, 2019Leave a comment

I’ve made quite a few matching outfits for L and Brian, mainly due to using up the scraps from fabric I had already used to make Brian things over the past couple years.  I have made one matching set for me (which I have not yet blogged...better get on that before he outgrows it!) but I … Continue reading Minimalist Swiss Cross Mommy & Me

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.

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

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.
