Light and Dark Half Square Triangle Quilt

June 11, 2021October 12, 2021 ~ Kim ~ Leave a comment

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

Rosemary & Thyme Quilt: Finished!

January 22, 2021October 13, 2021 ~ Kim ~ Leave a comment

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!

Another EPP: Millefiori Valse Brillante

August 21, 2020October 14, 2021 ~ Kim ~ Leave a comment

A little while ago I posted about my finished La Passacaglia quilt. I started that particular quilt over 4 1/2 years ago even though I had never done any sort of hand quilting in my life. Now English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a very special, very time consuming project to take on (unless you decide … Continue reading Another EPP: Millefiori Valse Brillante

Grandma’s Sunbonnet Sue

September 19, 2018September 19, 2018 ~ Kim ~ 1 Comment

During our time in Idaho over the summer we were able to "help" out while Ben's mom and grandma readied their homes to go on the market. And I do say "help" with full quotations because with two little ones running around we really only offered the teeniest little sliver of assistance on all that … Continue reading Grandma’s Sunbonnet Sue

WIP Wednesday: La Passa Progress

September 28, 2016September 28, 2016 ~ Kim ~ 2 Comments

WIP is quilting lingo for Work in Progress. When we were in Alaska, I shared the start of a sewing project that I was doing called La Passacaglia.  I figured it was time for an update! Now before you get too excited, just know that...I didn't really get that much done. I know, I know, … Continue reading WIP Wednesday: La Passa Progress

La Passacaglia: My Sewing Project

April 21, 2016April 21, 2016 ~ Kim ~ 9 Comments

La Passacaglia (la pass-uh-cal-yuh). A.k.a. My sewing project. A.k.a. My sewing project that just might take me 10 years to complete. But I'm loving it! Truthfully 🙂 **Long Post Warning: scroll through if you just want to see the pics:) I first saw the La Passacaglia quilt on Pinterest and I totally fell in love … Continue reading La Passacaglia: My Sewing Project

Living my best summer life in a new make: a Union St. Tee hacked into a dress (one of the easiest hacks ever-literally just extending the hemline). Super comfy and breezy and I love it. The fabric is a beautiful striped knit from LAFinch Fabrics (have I mentioned I love them? because I do) #unionstreettee #unionsttee #heyjunepatterns #heyjunehandmade #youcanhackit #lovetosew #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #lafinchfabrics
On the blog: Stuff I Learned From The Curated Closet-a book I definitely needed in my repertoire. #lovetosew #thecuratedcloset #memadewardrobe
I made some Hudson Pants out of performance wear knit a couple months ago (as my comfy quarantine outfit) and I love them! They’re surprisingly cool and I don’t have to tell you that they’re comfortable! Fabric is performance/swimwear knit from #lafinchfabrics and my top is a #unionsttee . Short post about them on the blog 🤗#makersgonnamake #heyjunepatterns #sewistsofinstagram #lovetosew #imakemyclothes #quarantineootd #hudsonpants #truebiaspatterns
So photo shoots with the girls aren’t always a success...but check out these jumpsuits! These are Hoppe Jumpsuits from #straightgrain and I made 5 of these with just 2 yards of fabric! The fabric is a super soft double brushed poly from #raspberrycreekfabrics and I think they turned out super cute. Plus they have pockets! There’s a post on the blog #hoppejumpsuit #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #sewingforkids #mamamaker #lovetosew #ithaspockets
Another one of my Union St. Tees-and probably my most worn. I made it from a combed Jersey knit from LA Finch fabric and it’s amazing! It’s light but sturdy and it doesn’t wrinkle 🙌 #hjj2020 #unionsttee #unionstreettee #heyjunehandmade #lafinchfabrics #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #imakeclothes
One of the fads that made the rounds while I was in high school was girls wearing men’s white v-neck tee shirts? Was that a thing in anyone else’s high school? (For the record: I was fully on board with this fad). I made this v-neck with left over fabric from a shirt I made my husband. I expected to wear it never because toddlers, but like the other 2 Union St. Tees I own, it’s worked it’s way into easy and often rotation. The prompt for Hey June June is MOST and of all the tee patterns I’ve tried out, these ones are definitely my favorite and most worn 🙌 #hjj2020 #heyjunejune #heyjunehandmade #unionstreettee #unionsttee #arenitepants #sewliberated #imakemyclothes #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #ilovetosew
