Driving the Alaskan Highway

August 15, 2018August 15, 2018 ~ Kim ~ Leave a comment

Driving the Alaskan Highway was quite an experience. After making the over 3,000 mile trek, Ben said that when we move back to the lower 48, we're just getting rid of everything and flying back. But, honestly, I enjoyed the drive enough that I'd do it again next summer.   The final stats for our … Continue reading Driving the Alaskan Highway

November/December Things

January 6, 2017 ~ Kim ~ Leave a comment

Sorrynotsorry about the whole never posting thing. I've definitely been a slacker the past couple months...but I do feel like I have a valid excuse. The past 2 months have completely flown by. I can't believe it's January and I can't believe we've welcomed in a new year! Blows. My. Mind. I'm hoping to get my … Continue reading November/December Things

Our Trip to Southern Utah (A.K.A. Plays, Plays and More Plays)

September 16, 2016September 16, 2016 ~ Kim ~ 1 Comment

I overheard Ben talking to his mom about seeing some plays in Southern Utah and I shamelessly invited myself to go. Lucky for me, Mama Brown made some phone calls and got tickets so that Ben and I could come along! Ben and I love Southern Utah. I went to school there (Southern Utah University) … Continue reading Our Trip to Southern Utah (A.K.A. Plays, Plays and More Plays)

Anchor Town

February 17, 2016March 24, 2016 ~ Kim ~ 5 Comments

Ben and I were lucky enough to be able to spend a little bit of time in Anchorage (the locals refer to it as Anchor Town) before we headed to the bush. Now, we were only in Anchorage 2 1/2 days and in that time we had to squeeze in 16 hours of restraint training … Continue reading Anchor Town

Packing for the Bush

February 3, 2016March 24, 2016 ~ Kim ~ 1 Comment

One of the scariest things about moving to the bush is trying to figure out what you need to take! It is a daunting task, for sure! The village's little store is the only spot you can buy stuff-but the selection is limited. However, we are soooooo lucky that we live in a day and … Continue reading Packing for the Bush

Our Journey to Pilot Point(aka:PIP)

January 22, 2016March 24, 2016 ~ Kim ~ 1 Comment

The truth is, I didn't know a whole lot about Alaska before we started researching it. I could name about 5 towns in the state and I knew it was cold. Other than that-nothing. If there's one thing I now know, it's that the state is jam-packed with towns. Teeny, tiny, probably-never-heard-of-it towns/villages. And so, … Continue reading Our Journey to Pilot Point(aka:PIP)

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
