POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I recently saw this handbag in magazine with a price tag in the $2,000+ 😱
I remembered I had a pattern from Vogue patterns and thought I’ll make one from a remnant of tweed I’ve had in my stash for years! Definitely a fun, quick sew 🪡 ! Lined with fuchsia silk from @fringefabrics_sd

I knew pattern placement was going to be really important when using this fabric so I decided avoiding the project altogether was the best option??? 🙈

In all seriousness I have definitely been in a funk the last few months and it straight up felt like too much bandwidth to puzzle this out. Luckily, I semi got my shit together because this shirt came out exactly how I hoped it would. Plus, I was even able to squeeze a pair of house shorts out of the leftovers.

This is the Jenna Shirt from Closet Core, which I've made a few times now. I previously made the size M and wanted a more oversized fit so this is actually the XL which is exactly the kind of relaxed fit I wanted. I did remove 7/8 inch from the sleeve as they were way too long on a previous project. Also, due to the sheerness of the fabric I did not want to deal with trying to line up a back yoke/have the print show through so I cut the back pieces as one and used French seams for the interior. I think I've finally made enough button up shirts to qualify as decent because I didn't even need to open the instructions this time around -- something that made me inordinately proud. 😅

Shorts are the Casey boxers, modified to have a simple center front seam (no faux fly) and longer side seam splits. I omitted the pockets due to fabric constraints.

Anyways, I screamed, cried, and threw up when I first saw this fabric earlier in June so I'm really stoked I could finally bring this to life!

This fabric was a birthday gift from my mom (who looked at me like I was crazy when I said I wanted Deadstock quilted fabric in July)! 😂 I figured it would be perfect for fall, however it refuses to cool down outside even though it's almost October. 🥵

I wanted a simple short jacket to really let this fabric shine but I couldn't quite find what I was looking for so this is actually a modified Pogonip! Major changes were to combine both front pieces and add a center front for the zipper, reduce the collar height by half, and change the placement and construction technique for the welt pocket. I also added length to the sleeves so I could create a built in cuff using the color coordinated lining fabric. I sized up to an XL and I love how roomy and comfortable this is. I also did a 1 inch forward shoulder adjustment for this one since I noticed the shoulder seams on my previous Pogonip projects were sitting too far back.

I love it, it's perfect, I just need the damn weather to cooperate!

Pinch me moment 🥰

I found @fringefabrics_sd about two years ago, not long after Jacqui opened, and I’ve been coming back ever since. A year or so ago I got this @fableism daisy fabric and sewed it into a dress for my daughter. Today I hung that very dress up IN the shop as a display sample, right next to the bolts (which she just restocked, so go get some!)

Swipe through: me and Jacqui today, then us a year ago when Baby C was tiny… Plus our Christmas 2024 ornament making at the shop.

San Diego friends, go visit Jacqui — and if you do, scan the little tag on my dress to see Miss R wearing it as a 2 year old :)

This set was too cute to leave behind… so I upcycled it🍉

This @oldnavy watermelon top still had so much life left in it, but it was too short. So I chopped it (😂), added a skirt of dark green double cotton gauze from @fringefabrics_sd, and turned the cut-off scraps into pockets, because a dress without pockets is not allowed, right?

She wore it for Green Day at preschool and brought her green binoculars too :)

Have you ever saved a too-small favorite by turning it into something new? Tell me your best rescue! I need ideas for the next growth spurt.

This was such a hard decision to make, but it was one that had to be done. Sip & Sew Encinitas is officially entering a new chapter!

We’re moving from Encinitas, California to Vero Beach, Florida! While this means things will look a little different, this is NOT the end of Sip & Sew. If anything, it’s the beginning of even more growth!

I’ll be bringing Sip & Sew to Florida and hosting workshops there, while my amazing sewing partner Bella helps keep the Sip & Sew community growing right here in California.

We’re so grateful for every single person who has attended a workshop, learned something new, laughed with us, and supported this little sewing community we’ve built. You’ve truly made Sip & Sew what it is today.

And just because we’re growing and changing locations doesn’t mean we’re going anywhere! We’re also making it a point to share more online sewing tips, tricks, and resources to help you succeed throughout your sewing journey.

But before we say goodbye to this chapter in Encinitas...

Join us for our LAST summer workshop, on 9/19. We will take a short break after this to plan for winter sessions with @stringtheorycollaborative

Come sew with us, upcycle something beautiful, and celebrate this next chapter of Sip & Sew! We would LOVE to see our California sewing community one more time before the move.

Comment “SEW” and I’ll send you the link to RSVP.

Lemon dress 🍋 💦 This was my first time making the Darla Dress (made in July but just took photos, shared the second version yesterday). I love this fabric and the details on this pattern. Made a last minute decision to take the photos in Old New Castle this evening and it was quite lovely!
