Medallion Reya Pants

Earlier this year my sister and had some fun picking out second-hand craft supplies at The Makery, and we scored some fun stuff!

Gilbert Top Three Ways

I made a round of Helen's Closet Gilbert Tops recently: one for my mom for mother's day and two for myself. 

Green Floral Elodie Wrap Dress

Woven wrapstravaganza, part two! See my last post for part one.

Gilbert Top x Two

 Still into simple projects and repetition over here! And using fabric from my stash.

Seamwork Joss Pants

I've never met an elastic waist pants pattern I didn't want to try... 

Sew Your Hart Out September: Kalle Tunic in Sienna

Beginning and ending September with projects for Sew Your Hart Out September... can't complain!

Floral Upton Dress

Drama! Intrigue! Tragedy! Redemption! Beauty! 

The tale of this dress has so many plot twists, you may not be able to keep up.

Simplicity 1080: Dottie Angel Frock

Another Mom make...!

Technicolor Tofinos

A few months ago I stayed a few nights at my (generous) friend Meghan's apartment for several nights. While I was there, I was rocking my Tofino pajama pants (#memadeeveryday), which earned compliments from her. She liked the piping and the fun colors.

Buttonless Batik Beatrix

When my mom was visiting me in Indonesia a few years ago, we went a bit crazy buying batiks for her to make a quilt. (Hilarious) evidence of our shopping spree below:

Watercolor Floral Beatrix

Oooooh, I am in love with this top I just made with the new Made by Rae Beatrix pattern!

Morris!

Finally finished my Morris! I'm not sure why it took me so long to finish it up, as it's a really simple project. Sewjo blockage + long weekend trip = drawn out sewing project.

Batik Ilsley Skirt

I've been so enamored with my Maya tops, when Marilla Walker offered up her Ilsley Skirt pattern, I pounced on it. Such a cute basic skirt, plus, it's free!

Pattern Testing: True Bias Southport Dress

Hey y'all! I'm back after a week of not sewing... good news is, although I was not sewing, I was having a pretty amazing time scuba diving in Koh Tao, an island in southern Thailand. While diving, we saw a whale shark in the wild!! It swam right up to us and I just about died of excitement.

But I didn't actually die, so I'm back to tell you that in between dives, I was wearing and loving this little number, my tester version of the True Bias Southport Dress:

Sewaholic Tofino PJ Pants

PJs. Pahjahmahs. Pyjamas. Jammies. Pajama jammy jams. Pajamarama. Pajamas: I made them. 

Peacock Wenona Shirt

So this is definitely not selfish sewing, but I promise this was made long before Selfish Sewing Week... 

This is a Named Patterns Wenona blouse that I made for my sister. I actually made it before I made my Wenona, but sending it off to the other side of the world and waiting for photos in return takes a while:

Batik Maya

After a couple of wadders (a Victory Patterns Roxanne made from nightmarishly slippery and shreddy fabric turned out too tight across the shoulders, a Workroom Social Tate top had irredeemably low armholes), I needed a refreshing, simple make. Bonus points for being able to use stash fabric.

Colorblocked Wenona Shirt

Alrighty, folks. I'm back! I've actually been doing lots of unselfish sewing of late, but haven't blogged about those makes because I have to send the final products around the world to the recipients and then wait for photos in return. So, coming soon(ish) on those.

But in the meantime, my most recent make is for myself. And I've got mixed things to say about it. 

Bruyere: A Wearable Muslin

Finally, my Deer and Doe Bruyere!

I've had my eye on the pattern since it was released, but only got it in my hot little hands earlier this week, just in time to squeak in under the wire for the sewalong.

Leopard Simplicity 1666: Cat Lady Sewing Challenge #2
