My work wardrobe is in need of a re-fresh and I have been brainstorming the patterns I can use to refresh it! I shared on Instagram this weekend that I am planning on a work wardrobe inspiration post so keep your eyes peeled for that in the coming weeks! Until then, I couldn't wait to sew up another Alberta Street Pencil Skirt - and mostly because I am going to be sharing my first tutorial on Wednesday about how to install a super easy exposed zipper!

Me Made Monday – The Perfect Pencil Skirt
I think I carry around some emotional baggage about pencil skirts. I have extremely short legs - I am not too short, measuring in at 5'4 and a half (the half is really important!) but I swear my legs are disproportionately short for my height.

Month in Review | October Makes
October kicked off my fall travel schedule - between the beginning of October and Thanksgiving I think I'm in town as much as I'm out of town. As a non-traveler it's not my favorite - but I have a really awesome trip planned in November to Utah and Hawaii so I'm getting excited about it! Because of my travel and work schedule in October there wasn't a ton of sewing time but I made the most of the time I had! I added 6 garments to my handmade wardrobe this month. Tops and Outwear ...
