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.

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 made a jacket! And I totally love it! For me, making a jacket is right up there with some of the other crazy things you might make, like jeans. Like, sure, you might make a t-shirt or a dress but a jacket? No way! Except, I did! And it was so fun and so … Continue reading My Chalk + Notch Joy Jacket

This was my first time trying one of their patterns (although I've had my eye on the Tabor V-neck awhile and suspect I'll have one in my closet by winter). I've noticed that when it comes to sewing clothes, I … Continue reading Free Range Slacks (including 4 different non-pajama-y outfits)
Hooray for free patterns that turn out to be total successes! Let's be honest, not all free patterns are created equal. Finding one that's totally awesome is...well...totally awesome! This Racerback Dress pattern from Hey June Handmade was a total win for me and is something I know I'm going to make again and again. I … Continue reading Hey June Racerback Dresses: Sewing for the Gals
When the weather started to turn warm here, I started craving a comfortable, non-fussy t-shirt dress. I've made a few Union St. Tees now and it has quickly become my favorite t-shirt pattern. A tried and true, for sure. Not to say I won't use other tee patterns, but this pattern really is great and … Continue reading Union St. Tee Hack: T-shirt Dress
Well, friends, I've tried to write this post something like 7 times and I am just struggling! I don't know exactly what it is but here's another go at it and hopefully I can give you all the information I want to share in a clear and approachable way. I feel like I can't give … Continue reading Working My Way Through The Curated Closet
About a month into Co-Vid life, I really felt a strong need to get myself a great quarantine outfit. And I wasn't talking super cute and fashion forward. No, I was talking maximum comfort and practicality. I just wanted some solid at-home lounge wear. I also have been really tempted to try out some True … Continue reading Hudson Pants in Performance Knit
