I know I've whined ad nauseum about how little I've been sewing (sorry!), but looking back I have done some nice little sewing projects over this year that probably don't deserve a post all on their own, but can't hurt to mention briefly. So here's a super post of some of the sewing projects I … Continue reading Things I’ve Been Sewing
Hello, everyone! I thought that maybe it was time for a little update on happenings around here! First and foremost, hello, September! I can now say that I am due this month and that is a very good feeling. Yes, I am exhausted and tired of being pregnant and all those things but we are … Continue reading Lately
Oh man, I'm really sorry about the lapse in posts over the last while! I had no intention of neglecting the blog so much but we've had a busy few weeks with a good amount of traveling. I've mentioned I'm not sewing as much lately AND I only have so much energy in the day! … Continue reading Five Ways to Improve Sewing Skills {Without Actually Sewing}
There is something about an impending baby that makes you want to clean all the things. We've had some visitors this month so I figured it was as good a time as any to go through the list of areas I've been wanting to dejunk. One of those areas was my fabric stash. I went … Continue reading More Racerback Dresses
I made a backpack! Which checked off an item on my sewing bucket list. I've been wanting to make a backpack (or bag) for so long now! In fact, a year or more ago, I went and picked up all the supplies I needed to make one buuuuut then I never got around to it. … Continue reading Making the Trailblazer Backpack
One blog that I've admired for a long time is Crazy Mom Quilts. It's mostly (like 98%) about quilting and Amanda Jean's style is just my flavor. She mixes modern and and classic quilting, uses bright candy colors and has many projects that are crazy enough that you can't help but be impressed. Unfortunately, she … Continue reading Light and Dark Half Square Triangle Quilt
Hello, everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted! Our summers tend to be more relaxed (read: less structured), so I have a more difficult time getting things done. No regrets about that (we're happy to have Ben's schedule ease up during the summer), but I hadn't been planning on there being such a big … Continue reading Maternity Me-Mades (from patterns that aren’t maternity)
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
