Even though it's already September, it's still 90+ degrees here in Chicago, so I feel justified in posting this skirt & tank combo before I launch head first into fall style! I made this one last month and even got pictures mid-August but in the whirlwind of working full time, Brian starting a new job, … Continue reading So Classic Sundress Skirt Hack
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
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
Look how beautiful this fabric is! It's another lightweight cotton woven from Fibers to Fabric; this one is hand stamped. I only had one yard, so it was a tight squeeze to make this one. I used the (sadly!) retired Grainline Studio Tiny Pocket Tank pattern - with zipper mod. I'd made this one before, … Continue reading Hand Stamped Fabric Tank

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
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
It's safe to say I'm in love with this pattern! The Brunch Blouse released today and I've already made three. With fabric for two more... This pattern, by P4P, is drafted for apparel fabrics with a soft drape (sorry, quilting cotton!), includes lots of options, dolman sleeves and has a semi-fitted silhouette. Perfection if you … Continue reading Brunch Blouse Pattern Release
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
