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

January BeeBox – VHCO

February 4, 2018February 4, 2018Leave a comment

I think this month's VHCO BeeBox is my complete favorite so far!  The colors are very earthy and the fabric is a french terry with a nice mid-weight to it.  I love the pop of pink/maroon too!  It has a very vintage vibe. I decided to do some pattern modifications to get the type of … Continue reading January BeeBox – VHCO

Are you ready for my favorite shirt of 2018?!  Well, I've only sewed 3 this year so far but this one easily tops the list and probably will for a while! Yes, I made those floral designs and cut them out of crushed velvet using my Silhouette Cameo!  Back in October I took this picture … Continue reading Custom Fabric Applique Raglan

November BeeBox – VHCO

December 11, 2017December 11, 2017Leave a comment

Can I just say I am so jealous that I made this zip up hoodie / jacket for Brian and not for me?  What was I thinking?!  It's incredibly warm and irresistible.  Oh well, guess I'll have to steal it every chance I get. Let's talk about the fabric.  The plaid is a fantastic custom … Continue reading November BeeBox – VHCO

Men’s Finlayson Sweater: Part 2

February 9, 2017February 9, 20176 Comments

I'm back again, for the second edition of the Thread Theory Finlayson Sweater!  True to the name, this time I used a hacci sweater knit (last time I used a french terry). Brian picked out this sweater knit fabric from my stash, which I previously used for a few Cocoon Cardigans.  I bought too much, so … Continue reading Men’s Finlayson Sweater: Part 2

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.
