#scrapbuster tip: instead of buying treat bags for a party, make your own reusable drawstring bags! This is such a simple and quick make that is perfect for a beginner. I made these bags for my daughter’s birthday party with leftover @rico_design coated cotton from a project I’m working on with @minervadotcom, and filled them with little goodies from my new favorite store @sostrenegrene. I hope they’ll be filled with more treasures by this group of creative girls 😍 ———————— #minervamakers #minervadotcom #ricodesign #scrapbusting #simplesewing #simplesewingprojects #isew #lovetosew #sostrenegrene

#bpsewvember day 7, plans 📝 back in January I posted that my goal for the year was to sew one project a month so that I could direct my sewing energy and not just add a bunch of stuff to my closet that I don’t need. Well... 😆 I actually did get through 50% of this year’s plans (and even blogged about them!) but it turns out I like having the flex of sewing new pattern releases and I wasn’t predicting an international move, so I’m not sure I’m ever going to catch up with September through December. Something I learned this year is that even though constraints can help creative people, meeting a monthly sewing quota is not the way for me to do it! I sew what I want, darn it 💪🏻 ———————— #sewing #bpsewvember19 #ilovesewing #sewingblogger #lovetosew #sewingplans #sewingresolutions #projectplanning #sewsewsew #millennialsewing

#bpsewvember day 6, view 👀 here’s my view today! My daughter has a half day on Wednesdays so we get to spend quiet time together while her brother naps. Today I’m helping her make invitations for her sewing birthday party (!) and it’s been fun to brainstorm ideas together. Man it’s fun to have a kid that you can be creative with. @bimbleandpimble ————————— #sewingwithkids #crafternoon #sewing #kidssewing #ilovesewing #letthembelittle #bpsewvember19

#bpsewvember day 5, repeats. I’ve sewn repeats of many patterns for myself and my kids (MVP is really the #hudsonpants which I’ve made multiples of for every member of our family, not pictured because they are all currently in the wash 🛁). A favorite repeat pattern is the #louboxtop by @sewdiyblog . I’ve got three not pictured because they’re packed away with my summer clothes. This is my favorite pattern to recommend to a beginner sewist because it’s infinitely adaptable, works with a knit or woven, and is the perfect wardrobe layer. Also included are the #persephonepants by @annaallenclothing which is my favorite structured pants pattern (one cropped pair not pictured, also packed with my summer clothes). I can’t deny the allure of sewing up a fun pattern that is a bit out of my wardrobe comfort zone but these two are my standbys! @bimbleandpimble ———————— #ilovesewing #sewing #millennialsewing #memadewardrobe #handmadewardrobe #lovetosew #sewsewsew #linen #canvas #sailorpants #sewdiy #annaallenclothing #jeportecequejecouds

Whew, I fell off the #bpsewvember wagon quickly there huh 😅 my usual weekend social media break + a friend in town threw me off so let me give you a three-in-one cheater post that deviates quite a bit from sewing content, but it’s been on my mind lately. Here’s the view from my sewing space, aka my bedroom. I love waking up and seeing this magical corner every morning. It is not lost on me that we are so lucky to be living in Paris—I think about it every single day! Especially this morning when I was eating an amazing cinnamon bun from my local boulangerie 😂 It’s definitely the best decision we could have made for our family this year, even if it was hard to leave behind loved ones, space, stuff, etc. Our time in Paris will be a treasured memory one day and it was worth leaving our comfort zone to make the move. @bimbleandpimble

Day 1️⃣ of #bpsewvember c/o @bimbleandpimble, which means it’s time to introduce myself! I’m Hannah and I’m excellent at taking photos of myself, as you can see 💁🏼‍♀️ I’ve been sewing and crafting since I was a kid, but really started getting into garment sewing for myself and leveling up in 2015. I love sewing and I love using Instagram to meet new people, whether or not they love sewing too 😆 I was born and raised in Southern California (in a small town called Monrovia—home of Trader Joe’s!), but now I speak passable French and live in Paris 🇫🇷 with my husband, two kids and cat 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐈 I “stay at home” 🥴 (whatever that means) with my 2 and 6 year old kids but my former professional field was in museum studies 🤓 I don’t see myself returning to work in museums anytime soon for a variety of reasons but my love of museums and learning about a million different subjects has made me a student for life, and for that I’m forever grateful ❤️ thanks for being here! ———————— #sewing #bpsewvember2019 #ilovesewing #sewsewsew #millennialsewing #isewstuff
