Vintage Wool Auburn Blazer

Robin (of Stash) and I decided to sew blazers last spring. We had a sewing day together, did a ton of work, but a blazer takes longer than a day to sew, and I stalled out once I got home. Cooler weather and the #Worktober prompt from Alexandria Arnold got me in gear to finish it up!

Pendleton Wool Shirt for Tim

One of my latest shirts for Tim... made last November and worn tons since then!

(You can also see him wearing it in these photos I took of his Akerfeldt Coat)

Sometimes your sister drags you to a fabric store and you reap the benefits of accompanying her...

Georgia Tee x Three

I recently made three versions of the Elizabeth Suzann Georgia tee, a favorite pattern of mine, all from stash fabric. Such a satisfying, palette-cleansing sew! And a wearable basic.

Crinkle Cotton Slub Sydney Designer Dress

It's summer dress season, folks! It's the time of year that I want to be wearing a lot of fabric that never really touches my body in any way.

Happy Feet Quilted Sneakers

 Recently I took a fun day-long workshop at a local-ish quilt shop, Quilter's Corner: quilted sneaker making!

Turns out it's difficult to take photos of shoes on your own feet!

Ruby Overalls for Wario

This project started very differently... namely as a Halloween costume for Tim! It's been an unfinished project since then, but one of my Me Made May goals was to finish up some UFOs.

Jenna Shirt with Ina Energy

I've been on a shirt-making spree, and this latest project is giving big Ina Garten cooking for a cocktail party in the Hamptons vibes. Or maybe Ina Garten cooking a Friday night roast chicken for Jeffrey vibes.

Indigo-Dyed Haskell Shirt

I've been planning some indigo dyeing after listening to a very interesting presentation from Jackie Reno about the indigo process from growing your own indigo, to fermenting it, to dyeing with it.

I made this cozy sweater a few months ago and have lots of wear out of it since!

Improv Quilted Jacket

This was such a fun and satisfying project! 

I pieced this jacket entirely from linen and linen-blend scraps from my previous sewing projects, and then I hand quilted it.

Waxed Canvas Akerfeldt Coat

This was a entertaining, but labor intensive project! For Tim's birthday (albeit finished a little bit late), I sewed him this fun and hopefully functional water-repellant hooded coat.

Knit Things Round-up

Long time, no see! It's been a wild few months over here, not near my sewing machine. My mom had a major health emergency that we dubbed The Nightmare Before Christmas, so I have been away from home helping her. She’s recovering well, though!  Here are a few things I've been working on…
