It’s a bit late coming, but I really wanted to share everything I wore this Me Made May! This was my 6th year participating and for the first time I didn’t wear all my makes. My goal this year was to wear all me-mades with no repeats. I didn’t totally accomplish that goal- toward the end I really just wanted to wear some favorites- but I could have. …
What do you do when all you have is a square of beautifully embroidered linen? Piece it into a gorgeous little crop top! I was gifted with a selection of upholstery samples at our last ASG annual meeting and have been holding on/ hoarding them until I could find the perfect use. The Fiona dress seemed like a great match as the bodice is made of quite a …
I’m just back from the most relaxing mini vacation with my family in Hobe Sound, Florida. Beautiful beach days with high winds led to some gorgeous waves and cool breezy weather.

I’ve been working on my winter wardrobe planning for quite a bit now and I’m excited to share a few of the things I can’t wait to start making! This year I’m focused on filling some holes in my wardrobe and making my daily wear all handmade. So of course I’m participating again in Rochelle’s 2018 Make Nine! …

You can see my first version here (from pattern testing-so more details and fit info) here. This Blue Stripe Charlie Caftan Mini is a perfect pool and beach cover-up as well as being easy to slip on in the morning to walk the kids …
The Charlie Caftan was just released by Heather at Closet Case Patterns and I’m excited to finally be able to share my version! I love pattern testing but it’s always hard to keep mum….and I’ve been wearing this a ton since I made it. It’s my new favorite beach/pool cover-up.
