Hey guys, it's been quite awhile since I last posted! I decided to take a little break from Instagram and inadvertently took a break from blogging as well. I'm not quite ready to head back to Instagram but I have been finding myself itching to get back to posting semi-regularly, so here we are! I … Continue reading The Cielo Top
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
I made something new for myself! Introducing the Free Range Slacks by Sew House Seven. 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
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
Oh man, it's been a hot minute, hasn't it? Ben's school schedule got shifted a bit, which meant we had to juggle around our remaining summer plans, and consequently left a bit abruptly, leaving me no time to pre-write some posts as I had originally been planning. But we're back now and have no more … Continue reading Hoppe Jumpsuits from Straight Grain {Sewing for my girls}
Oh man, guys, I have like 7 different things ready to be blogged about, but I've just been slacking. I've noticed that if I don't write for a long time, I feel suuuuuper rusty. I'll sit down and be in front of the computer for a solid hour without writing anything that I feel like … Continue reading Another Freebie: Lowland’s Women Baggy Tee
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
Hey! I actually sewed something! I've had a heck of a time getting my act together on any and all crafting projects lately. Part of it has to do with my unpredictable newborn schedule...and part of it has to do with the fact that we cleaned everything up for guests to come and I'm not … Continue reading Sew Together Bag
