Retro Vibes Welcome Here

Hey, friend.

Live life creatively. That's the secret sauce.

Simple, chic, and versatile… I love the @patternsforpirates Essential Tank dress. It’s so easy to mix and match with other layers for any season or occasion. I used this month’s #fabricforpirates yardage for this dress - an olive baby French terry. Cozy and breathable!

Paired here with a @fridaypatterncompany #heatherblazer.

I’ve been cutting into what I consider #preciousfabrics this month. This @atelierjupe teddy fleece has been eye candy for too long. So I used it to make the @stylearc Cassia Knit Top. Sooooooo happy that I have this pullover to snuggle with as the temps drop.
.
I purchased this teddy fleece from @surgefabricshop and it’s somehow still in stock. There is even a second colorway!

We didn’t realize how quickly the classes at @nysheepwool fill up (we do now!) so we decided to work on our own little project. We each made one of these adorable #sashiko bags. It was the perfect project to work on while chatting, watching movies, and drinking wine. I added a patch that I bought at @awoolenaffair and used a funky floral pattern for my lining. This is officially my favorite #rhinebeck2024 souvenir!

Fall + Friends + Road Trip + Knitting… does a girls trip get any better? #nysheepandwool #rhinebeck #rhinebecksweater #gilmoregirls #autumninnewyork #connecticut #knitting

I’m envious of you goddesses that can take an unsmiling photo without looking like a total b****. I can’t even manage it with sunglasses on. 😂 Teach me your ways…

Scenes from a @nysheepwool weekend with @kctarey_handmade and @melissah33 🧶 #girlsweekend #rhinebecksweater

Back in May, @kctarey_handmade proposed a girls trip to #nysheepandwool and the planning began. The group even voted on a sweater pattern to knit and wear together at the festival. The winner was the @boylandknitworks #halusweater. There are so many fun details in this design that held my interest and kept me knitting! I especially love the bobbles.
.
I used @berrocoyarn Fika in a fun confetti colorway.

Currently on my way to meet up with @melissah33 in Hartford for a little #gilmoregirls adventure. And I’m wearing this outfit! Believe it or not, I didn’t do any intentional vacation sewing, but I have been sewing up a storm over the past couple of weeks, just because. So I packed it all. 😂
.
This jacket is the @stylearc Loren - my first StyleArc make. Super impressed with how easily it came together and I managed to squeeze it out of 2 yards of plaid boucle! I had to make one compromise (can you see it?) to make it work. This gorgeous fabric is from @stylemakerfabrics.
.
My top is the @patternsforpirates Raider Ringer Tee in Sibley sweater knit from @surgefabricshop. I love how elevated this pattern can be in a different base. This fabric is so soft and cozy and comes in a wide variety of jewel tones.

And if you knit a sweater, you’re going to need a new pair of fun pants to go with it! The @truebias Lander Pants have been on my wish list for ages. I worked these up in a leafy green denim from @surgefabricshop. Super happy with the results!
