Happy Monday Everyone! I'm back home after an amazing bachelorette weekend for a friend in Disney World. As a huge Disney World person and was so excited to spend the weekend down there celebrating my friend. I was also really excited that I wore me made clothes all weekend and kicked off the weekend in this Sallie Dress I made at Stitch Sew Shop last weekend. I have been dreaming of making a Sallie for a while and although I love the look of the jumpsuit on others, I wasn't sure it was for ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Hampton Jean Jacket
I have been on a jacket making kick the past couple months and when the Hampton Jean Jacket from Alina Sewing and Design Co came out in April, I was so drawn to it! I loved jean jackets in high school - they were the perfect layering piece for those cooler summer nights or the chilly AC inside of buildings. I'm headed to Disney World at the end of the week and thought a jean jacket would be perfect for the trip! The Hampton Jean Jacket is a modern take on the classic jean jacket. It ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Belladone Dress
Any event is an excuse for me to sew up something handmade - there's nothing better than wearing a handmade garment at least for me! My cousin got married this past weekend at a beautiful venue in Elkton, Virginia - about 2 hours from where I live. Unfortunately, it was a little bit colder and rainier than expected, but I tried to channel the sunshine with my yellow dress and the sun came out shortly after the ceremony - it was such a beautiful evening. The Belladone Dress is my first Deer ... View Post

I finally finished up my Lonetree Jacket as the next installment of Lara Liz makes the Indie Sew Fall collection a couple seasons late....but this make has made it to top of my favorite makes list.

I purchased a kit from Indiesew back in the fall for this navy twill to make the Lonetree Jacket or vest. After finishing up the jacket, I am ready to start right on the vest -- both ... View Post
Me Made Monday | Rosa Top
I have gotten in a ridiculous habit on Saturday morning of "not having anything to wear that day" and sewing up something in the morning. This Saturday was no exception. I purchased the Rosa Top by See Kate Sew earlier this week and thought it was a perfect fit for this Saturday morning. I am loving the peplum trends that are all over the new sewing patterns and RTW clothes this season. Every time I see one, I can't seem to stop myself from making the pattern immediately - the Rosa ... View Post
Me Made Monday: Bonn Shirt
I've been slowly working my way through the IndieSew Fall Collection (probably in time for the spring collection to come out...) and this week's #MeMadeMonday is the Bonn Shirt by Itch to Stitch. So far from the Fall Collection, I've sewed up the Toaster Sweater and Chi Town Chino Skirt. I'm currently working on the Lonetree Jacket and hope to share that soon! I was particularly excited to sew up the Bonn Shirt because of Itch to Stitch's sizing. The patterns are sized by measurements and ... View Post
