Hey, friend.

Live life creatively. That's the secret sauce.

Your Friday needs a cute puppy, doesn’t it? Onyx wanted in on the #fabricforpirates photo action. 🐶
.
This wave rib knit had the perfect amount of vertical stretch to make the most comfortable bodysuit! I hear there are a few extra kits available on the @patternsforpirates website. Go grab one!

My beautiful friend Barb deserves a special place on my feed. She thought she was teaching me to knit many years ago, but she really changed my life forever. She gave me community.
.
Barb left us this week. It took me by surprise and grief came swiftly. I am so grateful I had the chance to catch up with her a few months ago. She was one of those friends that made you feel like no time had passed between you.
.
I love you, Barb! You made a difference to so many. ❤️

The last 2 pieces of my yoga capsule! The #mirapattern and #edenpattern from @madeformermaids. This brings the total of mix and match pieces to 10 - 5 tops, 4 bottoms, and a pullover.
.
If you know me, you likely remember that I have a lot of back and hip issues. I can see them manifesting in so many of these pictures. I am in pain every minute of the day. Yoga helps me with pain management. I may never be good at it, but it keeps me mobile. I am so grateful for what my body can do.

And one more sports bra to share. This is the #tinsleypattern from @madeformermaids. I tried to use every scrap of this incredible fabric!

These two pieces might be my favorite of the yoga capsule so far. So soft and comfortable to wear! This is the @madeformermaids #mirapattern paired with the #finleyflares. Perfect for practicing or lounging. 😍

The next two pieces of my #capsulecollection are both from the @madeformermaids #tinsleypattern. I had every intention of making the tennis dress with separate shorties, but I didn’t make any adjustments for my height. It was just a wee bit shorter than I’d like.
.
I made the longline top with a built-in shelf bra and the 4” shorties. Super happy with the fit of both pieces.

My third fall activewear capsule piece is the @madeformermaids #feyrepattern. It’s the perfect popover for chilly mornings!
.
I used cotton French terry from @waymaker_fabrics, again in the fall fairy flowers print. It renders a bit lighter due to the fiber content. It’s different than most 100% cotton FT because it’s made as a circular knit! That gives it more mechanical stretch.

I placed my first order from @waymaker_fabrics earlier this year. I don’t usually order custom prints, but there was one that caught my attention. I had it printed in CL and was SO IMPRESSED by the print quality and fabric when I received my order. And it’s continued to look great even after washing and wearing for months.
.
I was eager to try the athletic knit when Round 6 was announced. Once again, I was totally blown away by the print quality when I opened my order. It rivals any #rtw garments in my wardrobe. Peep those colors!! And this fabric is totally opaque!
.
This print is now the cornerstone of my fall yoga capsule. More to come on that.

August is always a tough month for me. I think it’s the heat. I try to give myself a lot of grace throughout the month. I found a lot of peace in making over the last few weeks. Thanks for hosting, @sewmuchtodesign!
.
I also took an awesome trip to Washington with my son that kept me distracted from my feelings. 😂 Swipe for a few captures…
