My post about my @fridaypatterncompany #wildergown hack is live now on the @minervadotcom blog! Thanks to the lovely ladies at Minerva for the fabric and the chance to write about my sewing experience. I wore this dress yesterday but with a jacket and tights because it was 50 degrees and rainy ☔️ a dress just as versatile as I’d hoped it would be! I’m definitely missing bare legs and summer hats though... 😜 find the post via the link in my profile! ———————— #minervamakers #minervafabric #minervamakes #fridaypatterncompany #sewing #sewingblogger #blogger #thanksimadeit #memade #sewingdresses #dressmaking #fabric #lottafromstockholm

My sewing machines finally arrived with our air shipment over the weekend 🎉 I haven’t been able to focus on anything but unpacking and organizing our stuff, and now that that’s over with I’m excited to finally get started on a #solinadress. Still need to buy an invisible zipper, which I’m regretting not buying before I left CA since there was a Jo-Ann down the street from my old house, and all the sewing stores here are on the other side of the river from me. I actually traced the pattern a few days before we left so my least favorite part of the sewing process is over 😆 I am slightly concerned that I overlooked something in the process since I was distracted by the move so I’ll look over it again to make sure I actually cut out the right sizes 🕵🏼‍♀️ I am always tempted by beautiful sewing books but the tracing and deciphering pattern pieces is for sure my least favorite part. Anyone else?? ———————— #namedpatterns #breakingthepattern #cousumain #wip #dressmaking #sewingismysuperpower #lovetosew #jeportecequejecouds #fabric #sewingplans #fallsewing

Hellooooo sewing fam ✂️🧵 we made it to Paris all in one piece last week (me, husband, two kids and a CAT what were we thinking) and we moved into our new apartment just a couple of days ago. Feeling super blessed that things have been coming together so well (finding an amazing apartment the first day! randomly living down the street from some college friends! having my husband around to translate difficult bureaucratic stuff!) but I’m honestly still having major mood swings while we are adjusting to our new normal. And that’s okay! It’s only been a week! I’m missing my usual mode of unwinding and won’t have access to my sewing machine for another couple of weeks when our air shipment arrives so here’s my uniform these days—lots of layers because it’s so cold already! California spoiled me and I forgot what fall feels like 😂 Might be time for me to pick up knitting, eh? 🧣🧶 My denim #wikstenhaori has been a workhorse this week with the added bonus of giant pockets to hold plane tickets, centimes, hotel keys, etc. Also feeling glad I made this rayon #justinereadytosew in a seasonally versatile color that will pair well with tights in the fall and winter 🌬 if you’ve ever moved internationally, with or without kids, please give me all your tips because I’m all ears 👂🏻 ———————— #memade #memadeootd #memadestyle #wikstenpatterns #wiksten #readytosew #jeportecequejecouds #ootd

The movers have come and packed up my sewing machine but not before I had a chance to join in on #selflesssewingseptember and make a lil baby gift for dear friends having their first baby 💕 the #btsummerromper is one of my favorite patterns because it comes together quickly and is darling with a side of chubby baby thighs 👶🏻 free teething ring pattern from @seekatesew and makes a great #scrapbuster! Romper fabric is French terry from @raspberrycreekfabrics ———————— #sewingforbabies #scrapbusting #raspberrycreekfabrics #lovetosew #babysewing #sewingwithknits #isew #sewsewsew #brindilleandtwig #brindilleandtwigpatterns

I’ve got some non-sewing news! We are moving to Paris! In 8 days! 🇫🇷👩🏼‍🎨🥐😅 we feel so lucky for the opportunity to do a year-long office transfer with my husband’s firm but the month since we’ve received our visas has been, um, rocky 😂 including setbacks such as our computer’s hard drive failing (without a backup 😱) and my son getting hand foot and mouth 😷 sewing is my biggest stress reliever and I haven’t had two seconds to do anything other than trace a dress pattern, but the end is in sight... and then I have to wait for my sewing machine to arrive in the air shipment 😆 but here’s a look back at our trip last summer with my workhorse #peppermintjumpsuit to remind me that IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT 🤞🏻 ————————— #sewing #sewistsofparis #jeportecequejecouds #parissewing #sewcialistsofinstagram #cousumain #handmade #thanksimadeit #imadeitmyself #travelsewing #travel #paris #sewhannmade

I think it’s safe to say that I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the 90s ever since we hit the year 2000 so it’s about time I embraced some 90s-inspired prints in my wardrobe 🌻 I scored some major rayon beauties (and some heavy rigid denim from a previous trip) last week at my local deadstock fabric heaven Fabrics R Us when I shopped with @sewuthinkucan and we schemed some #sewtwinning ideas! Stacked together they make a perfect fall palette 🍂 My tentative plans are a #solinadress (red fabric), #cielotop with full sleeves (leopard), a puff sleeve top (one of the green florals or the polka dot), slim #pietrapants (plaid), and top it off with #julienreadytosew (denim). Now if I could only add a few more hours to the day... 🤪 ———————— #fallsewing #fabrichaul #fabric #ilovefabric #sewingplans #ilovesewing #sewsewsew #sewingdresses #sewingpants #sewingjackets #outerwear #fabricsrus #bayareasewists #sewing

Project: Summer Wedding

June 3, 2019hannhamDresses, summer sewing 3 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 →
