Today I gave birth to a jacket. No epidural, just a lot of pulling and questionable noises.

In sewing, “birthing” is when you sew a project inside out, leave a small opening, and somehow wrestle the entire thing through that tiny hole to turn it right side out.

It’s a beautiful process, really. Very natural. Very graceful.

Anyway, mother and jacket are doing fine.

Did you know this was an actual sewing term?! by @yayhandmade

I may have gone a little overboard with this one… 😅

A whole new batch of one-of-a-kind jackets made from vintage quilts, crochet blankets, and other reclaimed fabrics. Each one has its own personality, and honestly, picking a favourite is impossible.

Made by hand, not manufactured. And because they’re made from vintage materials, once they’re gone, they’re GONE. No duplicates!

The next upcycled drop is happening Thursday, November 5 at 7 PM EST … along with some adorable little mini duffle bags!

Okay, important question … which jacket are you claiming as your favourite?! 👀 by @yayhandmade

If you had first dibs … which one are you grabbing?

I try to use as much of a quilt as possible when creating these! Two one of a kind jackets … one antique quilt!

Dropping this Thursday 7pm EST!!! by @yayhandmade

One of kind upcycled jackets are coming… plus a few mini duffle bags. Made from vintage quilts and special reclaimed materials. So every single piece is different… and once one is gone, that’s it! Dropping Thursday at 7pm EST. by @yayhandmade

Wondering if we can just post photos instead of a fancy reel and still get some love 🤷🏼‍♀️ Because my newest jackets have taken me forever and YA GIRL IS TIRED. 🥱

Volume up 🤣. I don’t think anyone realizes how many things don’t actually make it to the shop. This girl is obsessed with these mini duffles for her doll clothes, short trips, and *vacations* apparently?!? Follow along to see when they drop. by @yayhandmade

Okay, it’s finally time to put this axolotl costume together!

If you’ve been following along, I’ve been making my daughter’s Halloween costume completely from scratch, with no pattern and really no idea if this was actually going to work.

Well, it’s finally finished, and I can’t wait to show you how it turned out!

The axolotl is slowly coming to life! 🩷🪡

Part 2 of DIYing my daughter’s Halloween costume! This time I’m tackling the tail and sewing on all those little frilly axolotl gills (which I’m pretty sure are the cutest part!).

Still making this up as I go, but it’s actually starting to look like something! 😂

Next up: putting it all together for the big reveal! 👀

This Halloween costume has been a YEAR in the making… and I haven’t even started sewing yet. 😂🩷

Last Halloween, my daughter was absolutely set on being an axolotl. I bought all the supplies, had a plan, and was ready to go.

Then KPop Demon Hunters happened. Suddenly, she was going as Rumi. Obviously… along with half of the population of young girls.

Fast forward an entire year, and we’re FINALLY making that axolotl costume!

I’m winging a good portion of this, using a sewing pattern from @peekaboopatternshop as a starting point, and hoping the vision in my head translates into something wearable. 😂

Part 1: Turning a pile of pink fabric into the beginnings of an axolotl.

Next up: figuring out those ridiculous little head gills and tail! 🩷

Slide 2 is my real studio. I will not be taking questions 😜.

What’s your “kinda chic” thing that’s actually just chaos? by @yayhandmade

Today’s the day! Just a little behind the scenes while I get everything ready for the Fall + Halloween drop! New graphics, cozy fall colours and my signature oversized sweaters… all cut and sewn by me from the softest bamboo/cotton fleece… up to size 12!

TODAY AT 5pm EST on the site.

Quantities are superrrr limited so I need to know… which one are you going for first??? by @yayhandmade
