M4M Dylan – Daddy and Me

May 8, 20191 Comment

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

Pine Crest Fabrics Activewear

March 10, 2019March 12, 2019Leave a comment

Hello friends!  I'm super excited to share this post with you - it's been in the making for a bit now.  I had the opportunity to use two fantastic spandex-based fabrics from Pine Crest Fabrics, which are a great choice for making athletic items: Olympus (available on Fabric.com in fun prints!) and Virtue (available on Fabric.com). First, Olympus.  … Continue reading Pine Crest Fabrics Activewear

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

Raspberry Creek Sweater Knit

November 6, 2018November 7, 20182 Comments

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

Thread Theory Fairfield Button-Up

October 8, 2018October 8, 2018Leave a comment

In my previous post, I realized that I had never blogged this Fairfield!  I started it back in March, before I was pregnant, when I still had energy.  I finished it up and took these pictures on our trip to Washington right before I was hit with crazy nausea.  So now I am finally getting … Continue reading Thread Theory Fairfield Button-Up

Maternity Nikko Dress

October 7, 2018October 7, 20182 Comments

I asked on Instagram (follow me!) what I should make to wear to my baby shower.  I've not been into super tight "show off the 32 week bump" kind of clothes, which kind of surprised me a little bit.  But the most recommended dress by far by all of you was the Wiggle Dress with … Continue reading Maternity Nikko Dress

Raspberry Creek CLUB Fall Line – Part 1

August 26, 2018August 25, 2018Leave a comment

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

Maternity Fringe Dress + Raspberry Creek Fabrics

June 9, 2018June 9, 20185 Comments

I'm really loving the entire summer line from Raspberry Creek!  I was able to sew up some of this pretty Sand Stripe in rayon challis and it was an absolute dream. Pattern wise, I used the Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress, with a small modification to ensure it was maternity-friendly: Removed 1.5" from the bodice length … Continue reading Maternity Fringe Dress + Raspberry Creek Fabrics

Botanical Banksia

Hello friends!  I'm back to blogging after a bit of a break consisting of a couple of cross country trips, life decisions and moving.  Now that we're a little more settled, I'm excited to share this new Banksia tee!  Isn't the fabric stunning?! Speaking of the fabric, it's from an Etsy shop in India, Fibers … Continue reading Botanical Banksia

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.
