Seamwork Aims in Tencel Twill

This pattern set off a series of unusual sewing projects for me: all the gathers! so many gathers! too many gathers?!

Corduroy Shoalhaven Shacket

I've had the Muna and Broad Shoalhaven Shacket traced in my size and ready to cut out for months... almost a year, in fact, since I traced it while we were still living in our old apartment. 

Moving and home repairs, etc., kept me from it last winter, and then it was warmer weather and my mind was on summer sewing. 

Grass Green Wexford Dress

 Continuing with the cooler weather projects here...

Autumn Plaid Flannel Tarawi Shirt

This shirtmaking project is very much autumn inspired... the colors, the style, the plaid, the flannel. 

 It's still hot and humid out, but winter is coming and I'm onto the next season (although I reserve the right to randomly pop up with one more summer dress or boxy top; that's how my creative process works). 

Ice Dyed Double Gauze Quince

Every year for the past few years I go on a fabric dyeing bender and dye a bunch of yardage. These past few years it's been ice dyeing. I've really been honing my technique!

Ice Dyed Jackson

Another day, another Helen's Closet Jackson Tee. This pattern has definitely become a TNT for me!

Jackson T-shirts for Camping

One of my favorite things to do with my nieces is to go camping, and they seem to look forward to it, too. 

From Sketch to Reality: Fiona Top

I asked my niece, who's turning 11, what she wanted for her birthday, and she sweet-talked me into bringing a garment idea of hers into reality... "Auntie Meg, you're so good at sewing..."

Block Printed Seamwork Bo

 A bit of block printing fun for you this week!

Avocado Dyed Linen Remy Raglan

This top is really two projects in one: the fabric dyeing and then the sewing!

Gorgeous Green Naomi Dress

 It's not summer until there's some swooshy dress drama!

Citrus Linen Harper Tunic

Last fall, when I heard that a garment fabric shop, Stash, was opening up locally, I immediately went ahead and made a purchase to support the shop, even though I was trying to reduce my fabric consumption (sort of very loosely participating in Jacinta's Whole 30 Fabric Challenge- mostly just trying to sew more than I bring in). 

Jackson Tee Four Ways

It's feeling spring-y here in Vermont, finally, so I'm thinking about summer sewing. And summer sewing means t-shirts...

Tropical Print True Bias Mave Skirt

It's that time of year again, where I optimistically (desperately?) start sewing summer clothes and Vermont responds by bringing a snowstorm...!

Flannel Cameron Button Up

I've had this fabric to make my sister a flannel button up shirt for ages, and I finally got around to it.

Birthday Batik Shirt

Another birthday shirt for Tim: a batik button up! 

Batik Jackson Tee

 It's that time of year where Timmy gets all the handmade shirts.

Paisley Cashmerette Vernon Shirt

Last week I said to myself, "Meg, you need a new white buttonup shirt. A classic, simple, white buttonup. The one you made a few years back is a little snug and a little stained."

Scrapbusting: Sew Liberated Nest Sweatshirt

 I told you I was a quilter now... 

Emerald Green Marlo Cardigan

Almost exactly a year later and I've made myself another True Bias Marlo Sweater!

Charlotte Emma Clove Vests

I love it when I am yearning to make a particular item and a pattern designer releases a pattern for exactly what I had in mind!

#BHMPatternDesigners: Style Sew Me Tiana

Every winter I get impatient for warmer weather and make a summer top even though there are several months until I can wear one...

Toaster Sweater 1: Curvy Edition

It's been a while since I've shared a new Toaster Sweater here!

Scrapbusting Chambray Goderich Quilt

I'm a quilter now! 

Magenta Cowl Neck Tobin Sweater

Sweatah weathah is basically 8 months per year in Vermont, but we are currently deep in full body sweater every time you open your door, and even when the door is shut season.

Mixed Print Medlow Robe

After a quick and simple first project in my new sewing space, my second one was a bit more involved and creative!

Back in the Saddle: Flannel LB Pullover

My first project in my new house and new sewing space, and my first project of 2022!
