Ever since there have been spoilers of this pattern, I have been so excited for it to come out. When I was in high school I LOVED jean skirts - I think I owned every single Abercrombie and Fitch Jean Skirt that existed from 2005-2007. Then they fell out of style and moved to the back of my closet. But now, they're back and I couldn't be more excited. In fact, I wore this skirt to meet my mom on Saturday and she said, I'm pretty sure I just donated an A&F skirt just like that this ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Morgan Jeans
Hi Everyone and Happy Monday! This weekend seemed so much shorter in comparison to last weekend where I was lucky enough to have Monday and Tuesday off for the July 4th holiday. I have a feeling this week is going to see extra long as well! I'm excited to be sharing my second jeans pattern that I've tried - The Morgan Jeans from Closet Case Patterns. I have been a self proclaimed Ginger Jeans girl for a long time since I made my first pair last fall. Since making that first pair I've made ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Kyoto Sweater
Happy Monday from Disney World! I am down here for a work training, but Nathan and I were able to sneak in a day in Disney beforehand.

Me Made Monday | Kalle Shirt Dress
Happy Monday everyone! I'm coming to you from Chicago where I'm pretending today is another weekend day and spending the day with my aunt, cousins and her 2 and a half month old baby girl. Before I left for Chicago, I had the chance to take some photos of my new Kalle Shirt that I finished up at Stitch Sew Shop last week. This pattern was a must-sew for me because it is named after Kalle from Stitch Sew Shop and all us Stitch girls have to all have one! Plus, I'm a Closet ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Kelly Anorak
One of my favorite of the 5 lessons I learned in my first year of sewing was that you never have to be beholden to the fashion world's definition of seasons. Last week I sent off my Kelly Anorak pattern to the copy shop to get printed with the thought I'd like to make one by the fall. But Thursday, when it arrived, it was cold and rainy here in Virginia and despite it being Memorial Day Weekend, I decided it would be nice to have the Kelly to wear. With the day off on Friday, I got sewing. ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Penelope Peplum
It's another Me Made Monday around here and I'm really excited to share my Penelope Peplum from See Kate Sew! It's got florals and a circle skirt - so it's right up my ally! Yesterday I talked about five things I learned in my first year of sewing, and my love of florals was one of those things - so this top is highly appropriate! The Penelope Peplum is a knit top with multiple sleeve length and the original pattern comes with a gathered skirt. See Kate Sew has an add on pack to add a ... View Post
