Embroidery
Favorite Things- March
My new embroidery pattern is *almost ready* for release so I thought I’d take a step back and do a quick post today about some of my favorite things this month! The month started out with a visit to NSU Art Museum with my mom to see the exhibit, Confrontation: Keith Haring and Pierre Alechinsky…
How to Get Started with Fashion Embroidery
In this tutorial I’m sharing everything you need to know to get started with fashion embroidery. We’ll go over supplies and notions, how to transfer your designs onto fabric, as well as setting up your embroidery hoop.

Haslam 1940’s Pajamas with Embroidered Patch Pockets
I’m back today with a super fun make- these 1940’s Haslam PJ’s with Embroidered Patch Pockets! These are a very wearable muslin made up in some French Twill I naturally dyed with Sappanwood Sawdust.

1940’s Haslam Skirt in Cream Upcycled Denim with Embroidered Thorn Pockets
I love a simple A-line skirt and this one made up in an upcyled cream denim is going to be a great addition to my me-made wardrobe. It’s a perfect showcase for my new embroidery pocket pattern design, stitched in a simple Thorn stitch. I love these floss colors against the cream and found perfect…

Vintage 1950’s Seahorse Embroidered Beach Jacket, McCall 1524
I bought this Vintage 1950’s Beach Jacket pattern, McCall’s 1524 on Etsy and really lucked out. I fell in love with the lines of this simple jacket pattern- not even realizing it had embroidery- and seahorses at that! The pattern contained intact (and fully functional) embroidery pattern transfers! So perfect for Florida! It couldn’t have…
Organic Denim Jeans + Embroidery
I was never that into wearing jeans until I learned how to sew my own perfectly fitted pair. These jeans are just my style with the embroidered pockets and colorful topstitching. I love the fit and silhouette. I’m not a skinny jeans girl. I don’t think that silhouette makes me look as proportional as a…
Indigo Dyed Jeans- Finally Completed!
I’ve been working on these jeans for about a month, so I’m really excited to have them finally completed, especially before the warm weather hits Florida! I was really getting concerned that I wouldn’t have a chance to wear them this season. Plus they’re just in time for February’s Smarty Pants Challenge over at The Monthly…
