Technically I made this last year so I figured it’s about time I post it. I really need to get more timely, but then again it’s my blog so I guess I can post whenever I want. This is the Grainline Linden Sweatshirt. Although it’s labeled as a sweatshirt, just about everyone I know who…
Rumor has it that it’s French Macaron Day. I have no idea who decides when “days” are for various things, but I’ve been meaning to post this dress for a while anyways so today is as good a day as any. This is the Seamwork (formerly Colette) Myrtle dress. The fabric is Spoonflower’s Performance Piqué printed…
Here’s another super old project that I’m just getting around to posting. These photos are from . . . 2017? Yeah, super old. Well, this will be a quick post. And nevermind what I’m wearing in the photos. I’m gardening. I’m not going to be wearing my finest duds when I’m playing in the dirt.…
Yeah, so this one is long overdue for posting. This is the Grainline Archer Button Up Shirt which I made at a workshop with Lauren Taylor at Hello Stitch Studio which is the cutest and most welcoming studio you’ve ever been to. If I lived near them, they’d be like a second home. Also, you can see…
This was the final project for the other class I took at Cañada College Fashion Department, Designer Techniques in Sewing. This was such a fun class. We basically spent the semester learning cool and fun techniques you could do to a garment to move from the basic pattern to something that is more “you.” You’ll…
I am so excited to share this make with you! This was my final project for Flat Patterning at the Cañada College Fashion Department with Ronda Chaney. A silver lining to the pandemic was that I was able to save on commute time and take virtual fashion design classes. It also provided me with some…
I’m taking Designer Techniques in Sewing at Cañada College virtually this fall. The class is amazing. I’m learning tons of new techniques to use to make an article of clothing “mine” — exactly the reason why I love sewing my own clothes. Technically we only have to do a couple of samples each week, but…
Another pattern that I made a while ago but am just getting around to posting (yes, yes, I know there are a a lot of those). This is the Threadbear Garments Taos Top. I made this using the leftover ponte from my Neenah dress. And let me tell you this top is awesome for using…
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…
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…
