Whenever I wear this combo of patterns I always sing 🎶 I’m feelin’ my, feelin’ myself 🎶 in my head because they’re my most worn, most sewn, and most *me* items in my closet. Anyone else have that? Also really feeling myself today in the luxe hotel suite we stayed in last night for my birthday getaway (no kids! 🤗) ———————— Wearing: denim #wikstenhaori by @shopwiksten, canvas #persephonepants by @annaallenclothing, striped #louboxtop by @sewdiyblog ———————— #memadeootd #memadestyle #whatiwore #ootd #sewdiy #wiksten #annaallenpatterns #ilovesewing #lovetosew #sewsewsew

It’s my birthday today 🥳 and my gift to myself was locking myself in my air conditioned bedroom last week and finishing my #cielodress because I knew it would be too crazy this week to sew while it was cooler. I saw @sevenpretty post a #cielotop in this windowpane linen from @joann_stores and I knew I had to have it for a dress, since I’d been toying with buying it for weeks already. I was concerned beforehand that it might be too sheer for a dress but I chanced it and it’s totally wearable without being lined. And because I don’t know what to do with my hands I’m touching this succulent that my cousin recently resurrected for me 🌵 #posingwithplants ————————— I created a birthday fundraiser on Facebook benefiting @everytown, a cause and organization I strongly believe in. I dropped the link in my profile if you’d like to donate! Thanks for being here, and thanks for this community that I learn so much from every day 😘 ————————— #closetcasepatterns #linen #handmadewithjoann #sewingdresses #birthdaysewing #sewing #lovetosew #sewsewsew #ilovesewing #sewingismysuperpower

That glorious feeling when you’ve successfully pattern-matched a shifty fabric 🤸🏼‍♀️✨ some more details about my #cielodress progress (and whether I should redo the shoulder pieces to match the back of the dress and not just each other) in my stories! ———————— #closetcasepatterns #wip #dresssewing #lovetosew #summersewing #summerwardrobe #handmadewardrobe #whatimsewing #linen #handmadewithjoann

Not sure whether it’s the end of summer doldrums 🙃 or the scorching heat 😰 but I’m having a hard time focusing on anything creative right now, even though I’ve got tons of 💡ideas💡 for what I WANT to make. I finally taped and cut my #cielodress pattern last night so maybe I’ll finally cut into the fabric tonight, but no promises 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve got this windowpane linen from @joann_stores in mind for the project because even though Labor Day is creeping up on us it will undoubtedly be in the 80s and 90s through at least the rest of September 😂😭 ———————— #sewing #sewingdresses #linen #handmadewithjoann #sewspiration #sewjo #ilovesewing #sewingismysuperpower

How does one choose whether to #justtouchyourhair 💁🏼‍♀️ or laugh at something out of frame? 🤣 A couple weeks ago I sewed up this modified #wildergown by @fridaypatterncompany in collaboration with @minervadotcom. Blog post with details will be coming to the Minerva blog in a couple of months but I couldn’t wait to share a peek! ————————— #minervamakers #minervamakerteam #minervadotcom #fridaypatterncompany #littleblackdress #cottonvoile #sewingdresses #sewingismysuperpower #memade #memadestyle #sewhannmade

Sewing camp weekend was a success! 🎉 I off-handedly mentioned to my sisters earlier this year that I was teaching my 5 year old how to sew and wouldn’t it be fun if their girls came to visit and learn to sew together? They both flew out this weekend (alone! from Oregon and Virginia!) and they finished their first projects in a couple of days—the (free!) Easiest Tote Bag by @purlsoho and pajama pants (we used #simplicity8022, which I’d highly recommend because it’s just one pattern piece). It was my 10 year old niece’s first time using a sewing machine (and an iron!) and my 12 year old niece’s first time sewing with a pattern and they picked it up really quickly. The fun part is seeing them so proud to wear their new makes around the house 🤗 I used to teach piano lessons to many a begrudging student and I have to say, teaching a kid to do something they WANT to learn is way more fun 😂😂 (@riflepaperco fabric from @harmonyprovo, ikat and plaid fabric from @joann_stores) ————————— #sewingwithkids #sewinglessons #learntosew #beginnersewing #purlsohobusyhands #sewingpajamas #lovetosew #ilovesewing #kidslovesewing #sewingcamp #kidssewing #madewithharmony #handmadewithjoann

Project: Summer Wedding

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 →
