            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! . #sewing #dogmom #bostonterrier #memade #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            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. . Fabric is Max Peached Performance from @surgefabricshop. . #sewing #capsulewardrobe #yogawear #activewear #namaste #memade #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            And one more sports bra to share. This is the #tinsleypattern from @madeformermaids. I tried to use every scrap of this incredible fabric! . #sewing #capsulewardrobe #activewear #yogawear #handmadewardrobe #memade #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            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. 😍 . Fabric is Max Peached Performance from @surgefabricshop. . #sewing #capsulecollection #activewear #yogawear #memade #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            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. . Fabric is Max Peached Performance from @surgefabricshop. Swipe to see how these two pieces fit in with my first three. 😍 . #sewing #yogawear #activewear #memade #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40 #capsulewardrobe
            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. . #capsulewardrobe #sewing #activewear #memade #yoga #handmadewardrobe #mymakesforthemonth #sewover40
            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… . #mymakesforthemonthaugust #mymakesforthemonth #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewover40
