This is the Rumi Tank Dress from Christine Haynes. It’s a fairly recent make in the last couple of weeks. The fabric is Repreve which is relatively new (past couple years?) athletic knit made from recycled bottles. I often feel bad using polyester fabric despite how much I like wearing it because of its impact on…
This quilt was finished just under 2 years, but it’s at my parents’ place so I only got photos after the fact. I took the quilt with me on the plane so I could do the binding during the flight. It’s seriously one of my favorite ways to pass the time on a plane. So…
Everyone needs a pair of sushi pants, right? Okay, maybe not, but they certainly are fun. I’ve had the fabric for these for close to 2 years. They’re from the now-closed branch of Spoonflower called Sprout Patterns which printed a pattern in a custom print directly to the fabric, saving you the time of laying…
After finishing my first crocheted sweater, I decided that I really wanted to knit a sweater. I’ve only tried to knit once or twice, probably a couple decades ago. But with some exceptions, I like the look of knit sweaters better than crochet. I decided that the Everyday Raglan from Sheep & Stitch would be…
Guess what? I finished my first sweater! This is the first sweater I’ve ever made from scratch. The pattern is the Homegirl Sweater by Meg Made With Love. Technically it’s available for free on her blog, but I purchased it because I like to support the creatives that are putting something out there that I’m…
This is the dress I made last year for the Fourth of July. It’s the Popover Dress from Gertie’s Gertie Sews Jiffy Dresses book. The belt is a Malco Modes belt, super stretchy and very comfy. The fabric is some glittery fireworks fabric I got from Joann’s at a pretty big discount because I made…
Back to an older project for a bit. This one is the Seamwork Veronica made from a quilting cotton. Veronica is a simple dress with a waist and elastic at the back. It went together pretty easily. The instructions were clear and not many pieces. But I think I made a poor choice in fabric…
I saw these macaron pattern weights on Instagram and I had to have them. Fortunately, AJ over at Confused Kitty Sewing had a super easy tutorial. So with a quick order to Amazon for the supplies, I was off. This are the colors I decided to use. Actually I have one more blue on in…
There were a couple other projects I worked on during the quilt retreat over Memorial Day weekend, but they’ll get posted when they’re done since they’re mostly gifts. But one more that was for guild efforts was making totes for a center that helps at-risk youth. The guild normally makes tote bags and pillowcases. When…
The third retreat project I worked on was the ByAnnie Mini Notebook Cover. The pattern as well as a correctly sized piece of Soft and Stable was part of our goodie bag. It was super awesome of ByAnnie to sponsor our retreat and this was a cute pattern that would make a fun gift! I’d…
