(Did you know @brindilletwig has a new sister pattern line from the 70s? Hi, we’re Withy 🕊️)

~Spent the Harvest Moon weekend on the Turquoise Trail with my sister, as artists opened up their studios and talked about their process. Inspiring.

I made this kaftan for the occasion, the pattern is coming in October. I’ve been finishing a few long swirly patterns and will need you to test them, please, pretty soon.

Sign up for letters from Withy at the link in bio~

And thank you to my friend Natalie for the new sage for the new season. The fabric is from @_sewbysew_ (all deadstock)

Remaking my first garment #collagegathertop by @matchymatchysewingclub 🫶🏼

It was so fun (and easy!) to remake this!

Always cool to reflect on what I’ve learned in my sewing journey.

Do you hold on to your first projects for sentimental reasons too? Or just me? 🤭

I played hooky today to finish this dress! I got to practice some new skills, like gathering fabric, and I even hacked the pattern to add in-seam pockets because we love a useful pocket.

Pattern: Color Block Dress by @matchymatchysewingclub
Pockets: tutorial from @tillybuttons
Fabric: Dead stock fabric mystery bundle from @_sewbysew_ and random fabric remanents from @joann_stores (RIP)

Getting back into sewing has been slow but a good way to have a hobby I can handle after multiple physical and medical setbacks the last few years. It is very satisfying to see projects like Cora’s flora lace patched jeans get finished (my matching ones just need the knee patch to go) and then to use some of the mystery box fabric from @_sewbysew_ to create my first tote bag ever! Now I just need to finish up a few more quilt blocks before starting to piece together a my first start to finish quilt top. It may not be the same as the mountain hiking, biking, dance fitness classes I used to do for fun but learning to be ok with each stage of life and the joys along the way.

Later this summer I’m heading out on a 10 day trip through California! I already have several things in my me-made wardrobe I plan to bring, but here’s a few things I plan to add for this little capsule. Making clothes for travel plans is one of my favorite things - can’t wait to share the finished makes!

Big old buckaroo quilt. 🧡🤎

The flannel back on this one is dead stock from @_sewbysew_ which is healing the JoAnn’s shaped hole in my heart. 😆
