Sorbetto Top and Chambray Everyday Skirt

July 28, 2014July 30, 2014 teri dodds7 Comments

I have been wanting to make a chambray Everyday Skirt pretty much since I first got the pattern.  I was really excited to have just enough leftover herringbone chambray fabric from this Washi dress and Luke’s pullover parka to make the skirt.  Advertisements

Thurlow Shorts and Laurel Top

My goal this summer was to sew some shorts and I finally got a pair that fits!  I started with the Colette Iris shorts and wasn’t able to get a good fit from either of the two pairs I made.  I still want to work on getting this pattern to work for me, but I… Continue reading Thurlow Shorts and Laurel Top

Colette Iris Shorts

As I mentioned before, one thing I realized during Me Made May was that I wanted to focus on making myself some shorts.  I started out making the Colette Iris shorts.  I figured this would be a good pattern to start with since it doesn’t have a front zip fly.  It has a side invisible… Continue reading Colette Iris Shorts

Colette Laurel Dress

April 7, 2014January 13, 2019 teri dodds3 Comments

I am currently working on a project that has become really frustrating.  I’ve made some big mistakes (like cutting one of the back skirt panels the wrong direction so that it will be inside out if I use it as is!) and there are fit issues I need to work through.  This Colette Laurel dress… Continue reading Colette Laurel Dress

I made Caroline some 🦋 wings for her birthday after being inspired by the wings that @loveyousew_ made recently. This pattern was so fun to sew and once I started I couldn’t stop. I used a bunch of fabric and interfacing scraps from my stash in her favorite colors. She looks adorable running around in her wings. I really think I need to enlarge the pattern and make some for myself. 💗. . . . #fasewla2019makes #butterflywings #wifemadebutterflywings @wifemade
I really wanted to get photos of the first item I crossed off of my 2019 Make Nine but the weather isn’t cooperating. For now, here is a re-enactment of my inspiration photo. I’m talking about this outfit and @independentclothinginitiative’s My Design Line sheets in my stories today. #mydesignline #makenine2019 #chitownchinos @alinadesignco
I’m over on the @imaginegnats blog today to show off my colorblocked Driftless cardigan. 🖤. . . . The tri-blend modal sweater knit I used is so soft and stretchy. I love how the oyster and black look together. I’m really thrilled with how I managed to get the color blocking in the sleeves to match up pretty perfectly with the body. Head over to @imaginegnats to read more! 🖤. . . . #imaginegnatsshop #driftlesscardigan #grainlinestudio @grainlinestudio #fasewla2019makes #isewmyownclothes
You guys! It is almost 50 degrees here today! Not long ago it was 75 degrees colder. I am celebrating by wearing my first tester version of the Taos top WITH NOTHING OVER IT. (I will still be cold, but whatever.) Here is how I’m feeling today! 🎉💕🌈🧵💁‍♀️. . . . #taostop #threadbeargarments #thehandmadehustle #fasewla2019makes #isewmyownclothes @threadbeargarments @katiekortmanart
