Geometric Print Aires Leggings

Another pair of Aires Leggings!  These ones are wayy more comfortable than the mermaid-scale print ones I made a little while ago.  I ordered some fabric from Imagine Gnats during her leap-day sale since I wanted a more practical pair to wear working out and at derby practice.  This pair is a definite success!

Eep! A Tiny Cheat!

I knew this day would come... but I think it falls within the lines of an acceptable cheat of "store-bought" clothing...  My roller-derby league is ordering tshirts, and I obviously had to get one (or two!) to wear to practice or while I roll through the neighbourhood this summer.  Please forgive me! I can't really sew this item, and going without because of this project seemed silly!

Anyways, that's about all.  I've finished up another pair of leggings, made some headway on another dress, and have several other projects lined up and waiting to go!  Looking forward to sharing my upcoming makes with you lovely folks :)

Constellation Pajamas

These have been cut out and sitting on my sewing table for nearly a month... and I finally finished them this afternoon!  After the first pair of Carolyn Pajama shorts I made using a knit fabric, I've been meaning to sew up the pattern properly with a woven fabric.  A while ago I ordered 3m of the Lizzy House Constellations cotton with the intention of making a dress, but then realized that this fabric would be perfect for a pair of pj's!

#SaturdaySewing

A busy day of sewing indeed!! Sewing in the pockets of another dress, finishing up the seams on some pj shorts, and cutting out another pair of leggings! 'Phew! #SaturdaySewing

Almada Robe

I'm back!! 'Phew, that was a busy couple weeks.  I had a big project going on at work and it was taking up pretty much all of my energy, so by the time I would get home in the evening I really wasn't up for much - including sewing.  This Sunday afternoon I was able to sit down and get started on a couple projects.  First one finished - The Almada Robe from Seamwork.

Purple Aztec Hudson Pants

I can't believe I forgot to post about these!  I made them a couple months ago, and if I could get away with it I would wear them every. single. day.  As you already know, I am in love with the Hudson Pants pattern.  I was looking for some lightweight knit fabric to make a more spring/ summer/ hot apartment appropriate comfy pants, and found the perfect purple aztec-print bamboo rayon.

Baby Sewing!

Hiya!  Good friends of ours recently had a baby in February, which was the perfect excuse to whip up some leggings, hats, and bibs!  There are a ton of baby patterns that come up on pinterest, and although my husband and I aren't planning on kids any time soon, I was dying to give them a try.

Work-Break!

Hey Folks, sorry I've been away for a bit!  Work has been craaaaaazy busy and stressful the past few weeks, so I haven't been getting any sewing (and obviously blogging) done.  I've also got some visits coming up over the next two weekends, so I won't be able to get much done then either.

Luckily though, my winter sewing has kind of died down, so I'm not really in need of anything new at the moment.  It might actually be time to go through what I've made this season and pare down my wardrobe a bit!  I've found that there are a couple things I made that I haven't really worn much (if at all) so it looks like they'll be going into the 'donate' pile.  I hope to do a bit of a summary post around the 6-month/ end of winter mark and go over everything I've made thus far.

In the meantime, I'll have a couple posts schedule with old makes that I really love.  I also finished up some baby-sewing a while back for some good friends and their adorable new family member, so I'll get those things up on the blog soon as well.

Welp, just thought I would explain my hiatus and let you know I hope to be back at it soon!  Happy sewing!

Hudson Pants - Valentines Day Edition

If you couldn't tell from my instagram feed, I am seriously loving the Hudson Pants pattern from True Bias Patterns.

A while ago I purchased some red heart-print knit fabric with the intention of making a shirt.  Welp, I fell in love with the Hudson Pants and decided that the fabric would make some great comfy-pants for around the house... and just in time for Valentines Day!

Cat Lady Emery Dress

What?! Another dress!?  I am so in love with the print on this dress, and the cotton is incredibly soft.  For this sleeveless version of the Emery Dress, I used fabric from the Cotton & Steel Cat Lady line.
