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}
If we were to measure this year in terms of how many sewing projects I've completed and subsequently enjoyed, I would say this year has been quite successful. I won't say any more about how this year has gone in other ways (because that needs no more spotlight), but for me and my sewing skills … Continue reading Favorite Makes from 2020
You guys getting sick of seeing my Union St. Tee hacks??? I'll be honest. I'm not. Hack all the Unions!!! That's my motto. I feel like three things really merged together for me to end up with this top: I've had this shoulder ruffle hack from the Megan Nielsen blog as one of my browser … Continue reading Another Union St. Tee {Shoulder Ruffle Hack+Velvet}
I recently read a blog post where the author listed everything she'd sewn that year and then categorized everything as to whether it was something she wore often, sometimes, or never. She literally had a percentage for how many of her makes got used! It was very analytical and also amazing! I'm not sure I … Continue reading Me-Mades IRL
I don't have a ton to say about this top but I really wanted to share because I've been loving mine. I happened onto the Hey June blog a bit ago and saw that they had a couple tutorials-one to add a puff sleeve and one to add a band to that puff sleeve-for your … Continue reading Hacked Union St. Tee (Puff Banded Sleeve)
I think it's about time for a bit of an update. Here are some things that have been happening around here: We got an e-bike! We ordered it in the summer and it arrived at the beginning of September. We are loving it! We actually bought two (this one for Ben and this one for … Continue reading Lately
