So Classic Sundress Skirt Hack

September 18, 2018September 18, 2018Leave a comment

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

Maternity Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress – Again

August 12, 2018August 12, 2018Leave a comment

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

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

Hand Stamped Fabric Tank

June 2, 2018August 25, 2018Leave a comment

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

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

Tencel Twill Willamette Shirt

March 8, 2018March 10, 2018Leave a comment

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

September BeeBox – VHCO

September 25, 2017September 25, 2017Leave a comment

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

Skirt/Shorts = Culottes

September 11, 2017September 10, 2017Leave a comment

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
