A little lately. Summer time. Drinks on the deck. Post-formal hair cut. Etc etc etc... Life is so rich and full and good. by @itsliesel

Always searching pattern hashtags on Instagram to check out everyone else's versions of things I'm wanting to sew, so figured I should contribute.

@jalie_patterns is top of my favorites list. Here's three of their patterns. The #jalieroxanne are a cargo sweatpant, paired with a #jaliesophie half zip. Both in cotton sweatshirt fleece from #knitfabricdotcom

The black pants are another Roxanne, minus the cargo pockets, and with single fold Bias tape for some stripes. That is paired with a #jalietina essential tee.

Black fabric is from @califabrics white bullet fabric is @hobbylobby

A little recap video is always fun. Not really anything meaningful in here, but I'll love to watch it on the future. by @itsliesel

*most* of what I sewed in 2025! Not pictured are random underwear, undershirts, accessories my kids asked for at the last minute, either of the girls' Christmas dresses they asked for at the last minute, versions of things I tested that didn't get photographed, little accessories/gifts, multiple wedding party dresses i altered, things i will still sew in the last 2 days this year, and probably a few other things 😄

Yes, I'm fast. It's also my business, my hobby, the only thing I want to do in my free time, and my sewing room is a complete creative disaster zone 😊

I taught two friends to sew this year. Facilitated two free sewing machines directed to people who needed them, sewed things I was inspired to make, and created things my children envisioned.

Current me is wishing I would have done this for the past 10+ years, but starting now is better than never. by @itsliesel

Golden Hour Slub and Tiny Moons Pearl - what a sweet combination made by @itsliesel! The pants use a woven from my NEW #AGFWildflowerWovens and the shirt uses a print from my first collection #AGFDuval. If you love this look, give the talented maker some love in the comments!

She used patterns from @projectrunandplay - the Sunset Shirt and Abby’s Spidermonkey Pants. Now I gotta know, do these come in adult sizes??

Comment Look and I’ll auto-DM you a link to the Wildflower Wovens lookbook. MUAH! 💋☀️🌻

2024 part 2. I wouldn't call this the hilight reel, but it is some good memories. I don't catch most of the biggest moments on film. Thankful for the Lords presence through this year. by @itsliesel

Part 1! 2024 was one of the roughest years we've had in a few years. But the threads of goodness were still there throughout! by @itsliesel
