These pictures have been sitting in queue long enough that my son looks noticeably young in them. I mean, kids grow fast, but at this point I'm just being lazy! These shirts were the first items I sewed after our big move and they've been worn a ton! Unfortunately, my son gets the short end … Continue reading Simplicity 8852: Kid’s Button-Up Shirt
With two months left to go on this pregnancy (less now!) and a belly that doesn't seem ready to stop growing, I realized my non-maternity yoga shorts and oversized t-shirts might not be willing to go all the way with me. But I could do something about this! Obviously, buying would have been the easiest … Continue reading Sewing Maternity Clothes: 3 Easy Projects
Welcome to my post of using yet another regular ol' pattern for my own personal maternity wear! McCalls 7969 is NOT a maternity pattern, but by golly if it doesn't work as one! A few years ago I madeTWO versions of McCalls 7969. I loved both of these dresses at first, but before long I … Continue reading Maternity Sewing: McCalls 7969
This year I thought it would be really fun to make the stressful holiday season just a little bit more stressful by adding the task of making some stockings for our family! This, obviously, wasn't a complete necessity, but our older stockings-made at different times and of varying sizes (not to mention I never got … Continue reading Jingle Stockings for Christmas
I don't think K Pop Demon Hunters has hit every area as hard as it's hit where we live, but kids here are obsessed with the movie, so it was no surprise to me when my girls wanted to dress up as characters from the movie for Halloween. Lots of different outfits are worn in … Continue reading K Pop Demon Hunters: Halloween Costumes
Subtitle: A Very Unhelpful Guide to Making Because I let a lot of time lapse TWICE in the making of this project, and my memory is not that good! I started sewing this project last summer but my timing was terrible. Summer was coming to an end and I had very little interest in making … Continue reading A Handmade Athletic Skort
A little bit ago I was perusing French Navy's pattern catalog when I came across the pattern for the "Stellan Tee 2.0." This piqued my interest because the Stellan Tee was one of the first (maybe THE first??) t-shirt patterns I ever sewed up. I liked the original pattern pretty well, but I was interested … Continue reading Stellan Tee 2.0
I'll be honest, I've been in a bit of a sewing rut. And I believe I could pull myself out of it if I bought myself some new, fresh fabric to reignite some inspiration, but with some uncertainty on the horizon, I haven't been in the mood or mindset to spend a bunch of money … Continue reading Simplicity 8641: Sew House Seven Bib Jumper
Welllll. My feelings for this dress have been all over the place. While making the dress, I was absolutely loving it. But when I finished it and actually wore it, I felt a lot more ambiguous about it-kind of liking it but also feeling self conscious. And then when I flipped through my pictures of … Continue reading McCall’s 8036: Front Button Wrap Dress
I realized I haven't posted at all this month! So I'll try to hurry and get this out there before the month changes! This is the Ava Top from Michelle Design Co. I'll interject here to say I KNOW I was silly in making this detailed faux wrap top in black so that you can't … Continue reading The Ava: Faux Wrap Top
