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

Happy Fourth of July, to my fellow Americans!  I am thrilled I had the time to participate in one of my favorite blog tours again this year - the Sew Americana blog tour.  Patriotic baby spam ahead!

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

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

Daddy & Me P4P Basic Tees

February 8, 2019February 8, 2019Leave a comment

As you may have seen if you follow me on Instagram, baby boy L joined us in December!  I've been quite busy the past couple months, but excited to get to sewing and crafting again more as he just turned two months old and is settling into more of a routine. I was able to … Continue reading Daddy & Me P4P Basic Tees

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

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

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.
