Happy New Year and welcome 2018! I had such fun recapping my #SewingTop5 with my Top 5 hits, misses and highlights from the year that I wanted to end the #SewingTop5 with some sewing reflections from the year before sharing my goals for the year tomorrow. So without further ado, here are my reflections from […]

I finally finished up my Lonetree Jacket as the next installment of Lara Liz makes the Indie Sew Fall collection a couple seasons late….but this make has made it to top of my favorite makes list. I am so in love with the way my Lonetree Jacket turned out – and am so excited to […]

This week I’ve found so much inspiration on Instagram and the internet for my sewing daydreams! I’ve mentioned before that January and February are my busy months of the year for work, so my sewing time is pretty limited. My sewing machine is also being repaired further throwing me into a sewing daydream! So, hopefully […]

I am really bad at planning the month of makes ahead of time, so moving forward, I’ve decided to have a monthly round up of my makes for the month. March was a busy month – coming out of my busiest time of the year at work and all the amazing patterns that were released […]

It’s time to chat about the other half of my first activewear outfit – the Tie Back Tank from Greenstyle Creations. Did you catch my review of the Avery Leggings yesterday? If not, go quick and read that – then come back! The Pattern The Tie Back Tank from Greenstyle Creations is a fun workout […]

Coming off of May and #MeMadeMay, June was a lot slower in the sewing department than May was. We also moved this month and I was out of town 10 days this month (for this home body, that’s a lot!). So 10 garments it was this month – which in the grand scheme of things […]

I can honestly say that this pattern has been one of my absolute favorites (I’ve already made two!) and was so fun to test. I am so excited to be sharing the Fringe Blouse and Dress from Chalk and Notch which was released today on the Chalk and Notch website! The Pattern: The Fringe Blouse […]

Fall is right around the corner, so let’s kick things off with the Raspberry Creek Fall line. I sewed up the Sloane Sweater from Love Notions – a pattern I picked up during Love Notions’ recent pattern sale. This post may contain affiliate links.

One of my goals for 2017 was to create a wardrobe of mostly handmade clothing and I’ve been working this month on trimming down my closet (one donation bag at a time…) of all the RTW items that I just don’t wear.  These me made posts will challenge me to wear a completely handmade outfit at […]

How is it already December? I really should be knee deep in Christmas shopping and Christmas making, but I’m pushing that off till next week. I don’t expect this month to be nearly as productive as last month, but I’m going to raise the bar a little bit on my plans and hope I can […]

Summer is in full swing here in the Washington, DC area – we’ve had a lot of days around the 90 degree mark and as probably the only person who LOVES that heat – I could not be more thrilled. With the warm weather, I’ve been on the search for some awesome summer patterns and […]

One of my favorite makes to date has been my Ginger Jeans that I made this summer. Since making those, I’ve been dying to make another pair. My first pair was in a grey denim and while I really like them, I was really interested in making a pair in a dark denim. About a […]

October kicked off my fall travel schedule – between the beginning of October and Thanksgiving I think I’m in town as much as I’m out of town. As a non-traveler it’s not my favorite – but I have a really awesome trip planned in November to Utah and Hawaii so I’m getting excited about it! […]
