Well, I said I wouldn't be making any maternity clothes and yet here I am with a new maternity friendly skirt! I really thought I'd be hanging up clothes sewing until after the baby was born but turns out I can't stay away! And as grateful as I am that there are RTW maternity options, … Continue reading Maternity Sewing: Hudson Pants Skirt Hack
Last week I wrote about the Waterfall Raglan I made for me and this week I'll share about the Mini versions I made for my girls! The patterns (adult vs mini) are virtually the exact same, so I'll try not to be too repetitive as I talk about these ones! Hmmm, what should we talk … Continue reading Mini Waterfall Raglans (Chalk+Notch)
I'm back! This time to talk about sewing stuff, which is my favorite. The first trimester of this pregnancy really took things out of me. I had hardly any energy so I took to sitting/laying on the couch and perusing sewing blogs. Which just made me miss sewing...but didn't replace any of my lost energy … Continue reading Chalk+Notch Waterfall Raglan
Hey guys! Oh man, it has been awhile since I last posted anything substantial! I've missed getting on here, but I have had good reasons for my absence-some good and some not so good. First, and most exciting, is that I'm pregnant! Ultrasounds can be pretty difficult to make out but I feel like the … Continue reading An Update
By some miracle I finished our Easter dresses in time for Easter! Here we are on a Sunday walk in some really lovely weather. I know I haven't posted in forever and I'm planning on writing something longer soon but for now I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter Sunday!
So I made another button down, but this time for me! And I don't know what my deal was but this project took quite a long time for me to complete. But it's done now! I've been wanting to make myself a button down shirt for quite awhile. I bought this pattern before (like waaaay … Continue reading Another Button Down: The Cheyenne Tunic
Alternate Title: Hey, I Made a Big 4 Pattern! It's true, I've made a couple of big 4 patterns in the past (like, very distant past). One was a formal dress (which I believe was my very first article of clothing ever...probably not the best idea), and one was a top. Neither turned out exceptional, … Continue reading Simplicity 1544 {Men’s Button Down Shirt}
I am by no means a quilter, although I have enjoyed making a handful of quilts over the years. In more recent years, however, I've stuck to English Paper Piecing for making quilts, which has proven to be a very long process. Very, verrrrrry long, in fact. I mean, I really enjoy it but I … Continue reading Rosemary & Thyme Quilt: Finished!
Did I lose you all with the title?? Haha sorry it was so ridiculously long. I knew I could create completely separate posts for each of these items...but I didn't want to, so I mashed them all together. I did make pajamas for myself and for Ben this year and I made complete sets: tops … Continue reading Family Jammies Part 2: A Union/Mandy Mash, A Heavily Modified ABB Men’s Tee, and Color-Blocked Hudsons (for me and Ben)
Hey I hope everyone had happy holidays and is enjoying the new year! We are just trying to soak up our time together before Ben starts up his next semester. I didn't want to wait too long before sharing a post about the jammies I made us for Christmas! This post is about the PJs … Continue reading Family Jammies Part 1: Classic Zipper PJs from Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop {for the girls}
