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
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
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
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

But the most recommended dress by far by all of you was the Wiggle Dress with … Continue reading Maternity Nikko Dress

The changing seasons are always beautiful too. In Chicago we don't get a … Continue reading Raspberry Creek CLUB Fall Line – Part 1
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
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
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
