Botanical Banksia

Hello friends!  I'm back to blogging after a bit of a break consisting of a couple of cross country trips, life decisions and moving.  Now that we're a little more settled, I'm excited to share this new Banksia tee!  Isn't the fabric stunning?! Speaking of the fabric, it's from an Etsy shop in India, Fibers …

January BeeBox – VHCO

I think this month's VHCO BeeBox is my complete favorite so far!  The colors are very earthy and the fabric is a french terry with a nice mid-weight to it.  I love the pop of pink/maroon too!  It has a very vintage vibe. I decided to do some pattern modifications to get the type of …

December BeeBox – VHCO

I'm still catching up on holiday insanity...can you tell??  (Actually, speaking of that, I do still need to blog our Christmas clothes...)  Anyway, this is the VHCO BeeBox from December and it's definitely very festive.  I think its a great Valentine's color too! I decided to make an M4M Mama Claire, because I wore the …

Custom Fabric Applique Raglan

Are you ready for my favorite shirt of 2018?!  Well, I've only sewed 3 this year so far but this one easily tops the list and probably will for a while! Yes, I made those floral designs and cut them out of crushed velvet using my Silhouette Cameo!  Back in October I took this picture …

Wiggle Dress – Pattern Release

This new …

Plaid, Pleats and Raspberry Creek

I think I just made my favorite fall top to date!  As soon as I laid eyes on this Raspberry Creek CLUB subtle floral (and plaid), I knew it was meant to be.  I'm all for a floral, but something more subtle is always just what I need more recently.  This is the cotton lycra …

Brunch Blouse Pattern Release

It's safe to say I'm in love with this pattern!  The Brunch Blouse released today and I've already made three.  With fabric for two more... This pattern, by P4P, is drafted for apparel fabrics with a soft drape (sorry, quilting cotton!), includes lots of options, dolman sleeves and has a semi-fitted silhouette.  Perfection if you …

Fall Mountain-wear, Part 2

I'm back for Part 2 of my installment on the Raspberry Creek CLUB line mountain-wear!  Once again I turned to my trusty menswear pattern company, Thread Theory for the Strathcona Henley again. I used the same cotton lycra mountain print as last time for the sleeve accent fabric, and a solid heathered gray cotton lycra …
