I feel like we blinked and July was over! It definitely wasn't my most productive month of sewing - but not for lack of trying! I had a couple failed projects, started the month without a sewing machine due to scheduled maintenance and I had a couple trips and events that kept me away from my sewing machine for the weekends. But I do have 7 completed projects for the month of July so here's the round up! Tops: Sutton Blouse from True Bias in a rayon from Stitch Sew Shop Silk ... View Post
Month in Review | My June Favorites
I've been skipping out on my monthly favorite posts the past two months but now they're back! They're really fun to put together because they're my time to share all my favorites from the prior month with you.

Month in Review | June Makes
Coming off of May and #MeMadeMay, June was a lot slower in the sewing department than May was. We also moved this month and I was out of town 10 days this month (for this home body, that's a lot!). So 10 garments it was this month - which in the grand scheme of things is still pretty good! I am currently sewing machine-less as it's in the shop, so I think July might have a slow start too!

Month in Review | My May Makes
May was such a busy month for me sewing wise. With #MeMadeMay2017, I was on a mission to sew lots of new things as to not make my daily mirror selfies super boring. In the end, I think they were still boring, because I wore a lot of things more than once (or more than twice!). But I did end up filling my closet up with 23 (!!) more garments this month - so many fun things!
