Today’s fit: #beneathwavesvest over a RTW dress for the perfect October day (and my anniversary!)

I feel like I never post my knits to the grid compared to my sewing, so I’m going to try sharing more knits as I wear them this season. 🧶 by @suttonsewn

One more for Lexi 💙👏🏼

I made this dress this spring and ultimately wore it to my sisters rehearsal dinner. I wasn’t the star of the show but still felt like 💃🏽

Coming soon to a Biergarten near you 🍻

A moment for the details ✨

I wanted to create a dirndl that I would wear a year after year. For me, this meant quality fabrics, a good fit, and extra special details.

I sourced all of the fabric secondhand from @makers_resale, including the stunning embroidered linen from @wolf.and.sage I used for the bodice.

To make the perfect fit, I changed so many things about this construction-wise, including an FBA, adding a full lining and removing the gore details (although they were so pretty!). I also used a corset busk to keep everything in place!

Lastly, I spent time hand shirring the skirt, as well as adding machine embroidery to the skirt hem and the apron. I think that this really brought this project to the next level.

As a sewist, it is so insanely gratifying to have an idea in your head and make it come to life. This project was definitely a lesson in patience and the big payoff of a more involved project. Now I’m ready for this weekend 😉
Prost! 🍻

Olga season?! 🍎🍏

I almost gave up on this one, it was such a disaster! 💔

I ran out of fabric while cutting this out, so what should have been a 1-piece insert ended up being three scrappy pieces cobbled together. I also snipped the center front of my fabric in two places 😫 but lovingly stitched it back together.
I think the finished piece is very neat considering all the mistakes!

Let me introduce to you my new favorite dress 🤩🤩

The harbor dress is a cottagecore dream! An elastic neckline and waist ties make it the perfect fit 🫶🏼

Happy ren faire season!! 🍓

I was happy to break out my first ever costume that I made a few years ago and make some cute additions.

Originally I had made the stays, chemise and overskirt but this year I added little knit raspberries to my crown and belt, and sewed up a new leather bag to hold my phone (and knitting)! I made more tiny raspberries at the faire that I gave away to friends and kiddos.

Release day for the Jonni Dress 💙🩵

Such a cool dress with some clever construction!
Thanks for letting me test @annies_sewingstudio

So excited to finally use this fabric! I bought it in Kyoto without a plan (very unlike me) and have spent a long time deliberating. Ended up deciding on these #pomonapants with bias patch pockets and paneling. I’m so excited to wear these, I feel like a part of the garden! 🌱

Fabric: windowpane linen/cotton by Sevenberry Japan

These stretched out old pjs were on the $1 rack at the thrift store. They saw trash… I saw a new Honeygirl tee 🤩 #honeygirltee #memademay

I added some length to the sleeve and hemline and raised the neckline on this version for a perfect comfy fit! by @suttonsewn

Cheers to Me Made Mayyyyyy 🥳

As a toddler mom I don’t have much time to overthink or make things perfect. So I pledge to try and wear at least one thing I’ve made every day of May, and snap outfit pics. And to keep it lighthearted and fun!
The goal as always is to try to see what I actually wear (comfy basics) and should focus on making, and what I simply shouldn’t waste time on.

Can’t wait to see what you all wear! 🤩🌸
