            It’s Fabric for Pirates #revealday! I used this month’s yardage to make a mash-up… the @patternsforpirates Charleston Crossover top with the Bacall pattern sleeves. These two patterns worked together without any modifications! . I paired it with my @closetcorepatterns Onyx pants (my latest fave for work!). . This month’s fabric is a super soft rayon-blend sweater knit. Great drape and weight for cooler temps. . #subscriptionbox #fabric #sewing #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40 .
            Technical difficulties means I’m only sharing a few of #mymakesforthemonthseptember. 😂 It felt good to make a few things and even better to undertake a major #closetcleanout. . Looking forward to more sewing - and lots of knitting - in October! Thanks for hosting @sewmuchtodesign 💕 . #sewing #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            More @kdeer in action! I used the last of my tencel French terry for the new @rivetpatterns Ponga top and a #tiedye stripe for another pair of @madeformermaids Eden leggings. . The FT is a thicker base than what is recommended for this pattern so it’s a bit tighter fit; however that’s perfect for my cool weather activities. Both fabrics are from @surgefabricshop. . The Ponga pattern released today and it’s literally packed with options. Too many to list! Those are my favorite kinds. 😇 . #sewing #patternrelease #activewear #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            I finally have a pair of @closetcorepatterns Mitchells! I’ve made them once before, but it was a failed project from the get-go. But wow!! What fun pants! So many details that have my heart… I’m proudest of those welt pockets. 🤌🏻 . I pounced on this fun denim from @stylemakerfabrics earlier this year with this pattern in mind. It has a great weight, with just enough drape to work well for “blousy” pants. Definitely work and play friendly! . #sewing #closetcoremitchell #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40 #closetcorepatterns #closetcorecrew
            This month’s #fabricforpirates shipment was a soft rib knit in a dainty floral. I love pairing neutrals with brights - the vivid flowers on a brown background were just my style. . I used the skirt from the @patternsforpirates Harriett Dress and added a waistband from the Loggers pattern. I love the little bit of a “fit-and-flare” style. . #sewing #fallsewing #fabric #p4pharriett #subscriptionbox #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            Today’s #soccermom uniform. New @patternsforpirates Loggers in Quad performance knit from @surgefabricshop and a cute ‘lil dolman tee that I made this week. I’ve been saving this incredible decal from @wildandwanderfulblog for the right top. Perfect match! . #sewing #memade #handmadewardrobe #dtftransfers #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            I indulged in a quick activewear refresh over Labor Day weekend. First up, the @madeformermaids Eden Leggings in K-Deer from @surgefabricshop and a Tella Top in a textured AK, also from Surge. I’m pretty proud of that stripe matching. . #sewing #activewear #fabricstore #kdeer #mymakesforthemonth #handmadewardrobe #sewover40
            I as unprepared for how much I would love this cocoon dress! And in this Red Lava lush rib knit from @milymaefabrics! 😍 I never wear red, but I have no idea why. I LOVE THIS COLOR. . The @seamwork Tacara dress caught my attention when it released, but I never took the time to work it up. Oh my goodness… it is such a dream to wear. So comfortable! . My new favorite color stocks tonight at @milymaefabrics. It is a total winner for transitioning to fall. 🍁❤️🍁 . #sewing #handmadewardrobe #fabric #milymaeallday #seamworktacara #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            Your friend, Rachel, is tired, y’all… settling into a new work routine is exhausting! Add a round of food poisoning into the mix and geez… I have had no motivation to sew. But I forced myself to finish a couple of projects yesterday, including this @closetcorepatterns Alabaster top. . I’m not usually one for asymmetrical hems, but there is something really chic about this top! I absolutely love it! I used a heavy rayon rib from @surgefabricshop and, I’ll be honest, it’s perfect for all day wear. I snapped these pics as soon as I walked in from work today. I’m not wrinkled and the recovery of this fabric is 🤌🏻. . Here’s hoping my #sewjo and other personal motivations return soon! . #sewing #closetcorealabaster #closetcorecrew #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
