Instagram

One of the best parts of having sewing as a hobby is the community that comes with it! I’m sure that it’s the same for many other kinds of hobbies but sewists really are the best. I got to meet up with @thedoingthingsblog yesterday while she was on a trip in the Bay Area. We hung out for hours talking about life, kids, and sewing and it felt like we’d already known each other in real life for years! If you ever get the chance to connect with an Instagram friend—do it!! 👯‍♀️ (also, having a five year old take a pic of two tall gals doesn’t give you the most flattering angle 😂😂) #sewcializing #sewcialistsofinstagram

Second day of summer break vibes ☀️ #seabrightswimmer #mairinswimsuit #chickachickabumbums #raspberrycreekfabrics #sewingswimwear

Okay I know I should get started on my wedding weekend dresses sooner rather than later (see previous post) but I needed, NEEDED 😉 to sew another #seabrightswimmer, and thankfully this is one super quick sew. This time I left off the sleeves and color blocked it and I can’t wait to wear it all summer. Along with the other bathing suits I have made and possibly will make in the next three months 🤷🏼‍♀️ ———————— Pattern: #seabrightswimmer by @fridaypatterncompany Fabric: swim Lycra from @raspberrycreekfabrics (the top fabrics are registering lighter and *very* blue for some reason but they’re Navy and Peacock)

Happy June! I took the weekend off Instagram to regroup after Me Made May 🧘🏼‍♀️ I’m currently planning my next project, which is a dress for a friend’s wedding next month. I wrote a blog post about it if you’d like to check it out (I needed to talk through my thought process a bit), but the short story is that I’m hoping to squeeze out a floor length #v9253 out of 5 yards of this pretty rayon 😬 tell me you believe in me!! And swipe ➡️ for the inspiration dress from Reformation. ————————— #summersewing #sewcialistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewingsos #weddingsewing #isew #dresssewing #sewingdresses #sewrtwstyle

#memademay2019 day 31: we did it! 🥳 I love this community almost as much as I hate taking daily pictures of myself. I got some new clothes made, some old clothes mended, and some forgotten clothes unearthed from the bottom of my drawers so I’d say this month was a success. I shared a few of my MMM faves in my stories which hardly scratches the surface! There is an abundance of inspiration to be found among sewists and it has been fun to connect and gather ideas. Till next time, Me Made May! 👋🏻 (wearing #gingerjeans and a #wikstenhaori today) ————————— #memademay #mmmay19 #memademay19 #memadestyle #memadeootd #closetcasepatterns #wiksten #handmadeootd #memadestyle

#memademay2019 day 30: second to last day, we can do this! 💪🏻 this dress is a very hacked (and free!) #hemlocktee from the time I learned to sew knits and got back into garment sewing. The curved hem is so wonky and the dress is enormous if I don’t belt or layer it but it remains a staple, especially back when I was pregnant. Blush mystery knit came from @jomarstores before the term #millennialpink was even a twinkle in my eye ✨ ———————— #memademay #mmmay19 #memademay19 #memadestyle #memadeootd #handmadeootd #grainlinestudio #grainlinehemlock #millennialsewing

Project: Summer Wedding

June 3, 2019hannhamDresses, summer sewing 2 Comments

I’ve been pretty good so far about following my 2019 sewing goals, but I’ve hit a queue-jumper and I need to deviate from June’s original project. Continue reading →
