This Coram Top and Lander Pant combo have been on my mind for the last few months, and I decided they were the perfect things to sew for my last Indiesew Blogger Team post of the year. I definitely need to make a cardigan to go with this outfit now that our temperatures are blow… Continue reading Coram Top and Lander Pant

Hi everyone! How are you? I’m doing well– very excited that it seems like our Fall weather is back after a strange late September heat wave. I love October because it means another field trip to the pumpkin farm with the pre-school class (by the time my youngest child gets to kindergarten I will have… Continue reading Linen Emerson Pants

Flint Shorts

July 26, 2017July 25, 2017 teri dodds5 Comments

This past weekend, when I was procrastinating sewing something that involves clear elastic (which is my worst sewing skill ever) I decided to try out Megan Nielsen’s Flint pattern. I had some fabric left over from my Burnside Bibs and thought that I could use it to make a wearable muslin of the Flint shorts.… Continue reading Flint Shorts

Hi! Today I’m back with another installment in pants making adventures! This time, though, I’ve made shorts. My mission this Summer is to make some basic, neutral colored shorts to replace the threadbare ready to wear shorts I’ve been wearing for years. After I had success with the Alina Design Co Chi Town Chinos skirt… Continue reading White Chi Town Chino Shorts

I made Caroline some šŸ¦‹ 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. šŸ’—. . . . #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. šŸ–¤. . . . 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! šŸ–¤. . . . #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! šŸŽ‰šŸ’•šŸŒˆšŸ§µšŸ’ā€ā™€ļø. . . . #taostop #threadbeargarments #thehandmadehustle #fasewla2019makes #isewmyownclothes @threadbeargarments @katiekortmanart
