I’ve got a very simple make to share with you today. A darted tank in a lovely blush linen, the Shape Shape Sleeveless Blouse. This is my second go at this pattern. I don’t know why it took me so long to make another one. I wear the original white linen version constantly. You can see that version here. It’s one of my first makes that I blogged …
We’re in the homestretch now for Me Made May! Only one last week to go. So far what’s been working best for me are tanks and skirts or pants-i.e. easy to mix and match separates. Planning out my color palette has made a huge difference this year in that regard. Most of my wardrobe is comprised of navy, whites and neutrals. Probably the biggest factor in what I wear though is our weather. …
It’s been another successful week wearing my makes, though I’m coming to the end of my summer wardrobe and only have a few dressier clothing pieces that haven’t been worn yet. I’ve been focused on sewing swimwear this last week. A new bikini for me that I’m pattern testing as well as two new swimsuits for Amelie. If you follow me on Facebook you’ll have seen some sneak …
We’re 5 days into Me Made May ’15 and this year I’m having a really easy time pulling me made looks. If you haven’t heard of it before head over to So Zo to find out more. I’m planning on doing weekly recaps each Tuesday for the month of May. This is perfect timing as I haven’t been sewing or dyeing quite as much while we sell our …
This year has really just flown by. I can hardly believe I’m coming up on my blog’s 1st anniversary! What started out as a therapeutic outlet for me to focus on my creativity and not just motherhood has become so much more. I love how in a little less than a year I can see my style solidifying and my sewing skills improving. Last year I would never …
This look all started with the fabric. I bought this amazing striped Chambray (sadly out of stock) and Vanilla Striped Linen(below) from Marcy Tilton that was part of my Mother’s Day gift from my husband and the kids. I love her fabric selection, so many amazing fabrics and some great weekly deals! I was originally planning on making some Capri’s with the chambray, but I decided I wanted …
This week saw me wearing tons of me mades since we were on vacation up in Venice Beach, FL. It’s our favorite place to visit that’s still close to home. We love the small town feel, walking downtown, great restaurants, and climbing the rocks with the kids at the Jetty! Vic loves to go diving off the beach, they’re famous for their shark teeth, though we rarely bother searching for …
