Do you like time travel? Well, today we’re going back in time to the very first garment I ever made. The time was June 2016, I had just gotten a cheap Brother machine and I was so excited to make myself a circle skirt. I had devoured hours of …
My third iteration of McCall’s 7206 men’s bowling shirt was once again for my dad. His first one in lavender linen was the nicest thing I’d ever made, but he really wanted a brown one, too. We sourced some “silk” (more on that in a second) at a vendor in …
I’ve been sewing so much for my dad and husband that I finally took a break to go back to making women’s clothing. But this time, they’re for my mom. New Look 6891 was one of her choices and she had bought a white embroidered border cotton specifically for it. …
I’m first up on the Sewspirational Summer Blog Tour 2018! The purpose of the tour is to highlight summer makes and inspire our readers’ own future projects. There are also TWO giveaways below! My choice for summer makes is one I’ve actually spent a LOT of time on this summer. …
(This post about McCall’s 6744 was written last December, and has been sitting unpublished. It’s about a shirt I made in early 2017, so it’s an old post about an old make—meta-blogception! I thought it would be nice to take a trip back in time. Enjoy.) Winter doesn’t ever last very …

Continuing on my fangirl-dom for all things Helen’s Closet, here’s yet another one of the makes I whipped up the course of a week. This time, the York Pinafore. I don’t remember how old I was when I last wore a pinafore dress. I do remember wearing overalls in the …
Warning: both of my posts this week are going to be about Helen’s Closet patterns. Fan girl much? I am not ashamed! My adoration for Helen’s Closet started about a year ago when I discovered her Weekly Wednesday updates. So when the 2018 #sewmystyle projects were revealed and I saw …
The Seamwork Kimmy dress has been on my to-do list since…oy, June. But hey, here we are in July and I finally got it done. Yay! I chose the Kimmy because I thought it would be a pretty quick make. See, it was supposed to be done in time for …
One of my big goals for the year has been more me made tops. And you know how I love me some girly frills. The free Wardrobe by Me Hera blouse delivered on this in spades! I had posted a poll on Instagram to help pick the fabric for my True …
