I’m excited to be back to share another installment of my series of the Search for the Perfect T-Shirt. I’m here today to talk a little bit about the Panama Tee and Panama Tee Dress from Alina Design Co. I sewed up the Panama Tee Dress last week one night after work and was so pleasantly surprised how much I loved it. I’ve mentioned before, but I am not a dress person usually, but as I mentioned in my Wardrobe Staples post yesterday, I have been so into t-shirt dresses. After loving the … View Post
Me Made May is halfway over and it’s been a really wonderful experience so far!

As to not bore you (or myself) on my … View Post

Katie, from Simple Life Pattern Company, and Caroline, from Sew Caroline, worked together to … View Post
The Seamly Basic Tee was by far the most requested t-shirt when I posted about my series a couple weeks ago – everyone LOVES this t-shirt! I’ll be honest – when I made this shirt, I hated it. But after seeing the pictures of it and wearing it for a full day – I can see why you all like it so much! While it may not be my perfect t-shirt, there’s a lot of good to it. The Seamly Basic Tee was a product of a collaboration with Seamly and Indiesew and is an exclusive pattern for Indiesew. It … View Post
Happy Tuesday everyone! I’m here sharing a few of my favorites in sewing tools, patterns and entertainment from the month of March that I enjoyed while working on my April sewing projects! If you missed it, check out my roundup of my April makes! Sewing Tools – Seam Ripper – Is this a lame one?
