I’m back today with a summer top! I made this Darling Ranges Button-up two summers ago in a beautiful black linen from Blackbird Fabrics. In theory, this was supposed to be a classic button-up that could be worn on its own during summer. While I like the top, it’s not exactly what I was hoping… Continue reading Darling Ranges Button-up in Black Linen
The Deer & Doe Datura Blouse is a classic shell with some fun twists. It is semi-fitted and has a buttoned lower back. There are two options for necklines: a triangle cutout or a Peter Pan collar. If you’ve been around here long, you know that I basically live in tank + cardigan combos. I’m… Continue reading Deer & Doe Datura Blouse
Howdy friends! It’s been a while, but I will hopefully be blogging several of my summer makes over the next few weeks. One of my more recent makes is a Helen’s Closet Ashton Top. Helen describes this top as “an all-season wardrobe staple that is easy to sew and style”. I’d say that’s true! I’m… Continue reading Ashton Top from Helen’s Closet in Cotton Voile
Howdy friends! I’m back today with new make: my Kelly Anorak Raincoat! After I made my first Kelly, I knew I wanted to make a raincoat version. Apparently, I just love a sewing challenge. I get a huge satisfaction out of making something other people think you can’t make for yourself. I thought about this… Continue reading Kelly Anorak Raincoat Edition

I’ve been looking around for a good top pattern for the cooler months. I’m clearly in love with the Ogden Cami, as well as the Lago Tank, but they’re not warm enough for this cold weather. I was looking at the various raglan patterns that are out there, but I’m not the biggest fan of… Continue reading Uvita Top — Keeping Me Warm and Cozy
It’s that wonderful time of year when the leaves have changed and I get really cold all the time. It’s the time of year I start thinking about how much I need more jackets in my life. This year, I finally did something about it and sewed up a Kelly Anorak jacket. When Closet Case… Continue reading A Cozy Kelly Anorak Jacket
Hello again, friends! I’m back today with a summer staple outfit: comfy shorts and a great tank! Specifically, Chi-Town Chinos and another Ogden Cami. I made both of these earlier this summer, and they both came with me on my trip to Europe! This was my first time making the Chi-Town Chinos, so I started… Continue reading Chi-Town Chinos (& Another Ogden Cami)
Hello again, friends! Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve been busy with school, proposing my dissertation (!!!), and wrapping up my grad student presidency madness. It’s been a crazy school year. I’m glad it’s almost over. But today I’m back to tell you about my most recent make, an Ogden Cami! I know… Continue reading Jumping on the Ogden Cami Bandwagon
