Hey, friend.

Live life creatively. That's the secret sauce.

Who needs another sweatshirt?? 🙋🏼‍♀️ This is the @petitestitchery Soto in the softest cotton terry loop (stocking tonight @milymaefabrics!!!). I’ve worn it a few days in a row, only to spill coffee on it yesterday. 😂 I’m a repeat outfit wearer.
.
I made another fun appliqué using cotton modal, also from Mily Mae. I’m enjoying getting to know my @berninausa QE570 - it’s made it so much easier to bring my ideas to life.

I made myself a matching pair of @madeformermaids Sloan joggers and we both unintentionally styled them with @cotopaxi hoodies. 😂 I love the nod to #90sfashion in this patchwork plaid fabric. It was a great match for this pattern!
.
Fabric is French terry from @milymaefabrics.

Another pair of @madeformermaids Silas joggers for this cutie. No intense modeling this time because he “was not in the mood for photos.” 😂 Happy to report he snapped out of his funk once he wore his comfy pants around for a while.

I used a drapey French terry for the new @madeformermaids Sloan pattern and died from happiness when I put them on. They are so comfortable that they almost feel indecent. 😂 I don’t have a lot of sweatpants in my wardrobe, but clearly I’ve been missing out.
.
Of course I didn’t realize that my pants legs were hiked up until after I took these pics. 😂

Everything I know about modeling, I’ve learned from him. 😂 When I offered to make him the new @madeformermaids #silaspattern, he immediately chose a fabric with minimal stretch and asked for a retro stripe down the leg. He’s become a *touch* high maintenance since marriage.
.
I made his #sweatpants dreams come true with French terry fleece from @milymaefabrics and sports trim from @lws_trims. He LOVES them. Can you tell?

It’s been a while since I made something spontaneous. I took yesterday and simply had fun in my studio. I love everything about this make!
.
I used leftover remnants from other recent projects (yay!) to work up the @petitestitchery Xoe, added a split hem (because that’s what I do these days), and created a happy little appliqué. It’s one of those makes that relaxes you the moment you put it on.
.
All fabric is from @milymaefabrics.

Another @madeformermaids #maevepattern top! I was determined to squeeze a set out of this pretty tie dye so I pieces together the sleeves with a seam. I actually love it this way!
.
Fabric is rayon FT from @milymaefabrics. It came in a mystery box and I was so excited to unbox it. It feel delightfully soft and cool.

My sewing room is coming together! We’ve shuffled a few rooms in the house, which freed up this space. It will be the first time I’ve had everything I need in one spot. Lots more to do, but I was excited to share the progress. #sewingroom #sewing #creativespace

I made this @madeformermaids #maevepattern during pretesting, so some details changed slightly before release, primarily the neckline. This is the banded crop paired with the mini skirt.
