The Jalie Jacqueline shorts are my favourite running shorts!! Tested these awhile back and used a race shirt to do the outer layer and had just enough scraps to do the inner shorts and waist band. #jaliejacqueline #jaliepatterns
Doing a bit of travel sketching while on vacation. #mexico
Love her stuff and was so excited by this one. Yours is so cute!!
Massive surprise planned for my kids tomorrow morning. Can’t wait to see their reactions!!
Joining friends on our trip. It should be epic!!!
Oh just did that last month with patternreview.com and well I still have lots of stash as this is pretty much my whole plan for the year.
They’re not that hard. It’s being good with zigzags and inserting elastic and folding it over and topstitching.
My daughter’s swim capsule
Jalie Valerie, Claudia and 3247
Jalie 3134 needed another training suit and am very happy how this one came out. I do with I’d made the back band turquoise but still like it as is. #jalie3134 racer back suit.
Swim capsule wardrobe started for my daughter. #jalievalerie with #jalieclaudia bottoms and #jalie3247 for the top.
A few adjustments: daughter is tall and slim so made size L with P for the length. #jaliepatterns
I’m here for that!
Still kind of amazes me that I can just call a hotel and book a room. Why does this stage of adulting always seem weird?
#over40
Love it!!!
Eek. Just signed up for another triathlon. Realizing I can’t quit on training now. Not sure I’m 100% happy with myself right now. #triathlon
And there was just enough fabric left over to make a Love Notions Aria top! The pattern does look a bit like I stole my husband’s top, but I think I’ll get a lot of wear out of it this summer! #lovenotionsaria #lovenotionspatterns
Got this fabric from New York City back in 2009 after dragging my husband into hidden fabric stores found through various blogs of the era. Love how it turned out using Closet Core Pauline pattern!! Also goes well with the sweater my Mom knit me!

The audio book is pretty fun too!
Details of the inside of my snow pants. Jalie 2109 (Lined Winter Overalls)
And a ripped sheet to be the lining.
Next up: Stash busting continues with fabric bought in New York City in 2009 ish. Summer dress
I made my own snow pants!!! They are done and super warm! Not quite waterproof though if I have snow on my butt and then sit on the car’s heated seats. Lesson learned. #jalie2109 #jaliepatterns #jalielife
Have had this pattern and yarn in my stash since about 2007 or 2008. Cast on yesterday and am not completely addicted… just can’t wait to get to get to the fair isle body. #knitting #interweaveknits
As someone who struggled with bullying as a child, the thing I love most is seeing the friendships my kids have developed. It warms my heart so much.
Working on learning visible mending this year. My brother blew out the elbow of this sweater so used some red found elsewhere in the sweater for the repair. Not perfect but the hole is gone. Need to play closer attention to the techniques.
#jalie2109 are finished and tested out! Kept me toasty at -15 C this morning! So proud of finishing these up. Will try to get some better detailed photos soon! #jaliepatterns #jalie
And they’re starting to look and feel like snow pants #jalie2109 got the bib on after this and screwed up with the placement so I have a date with my seam ripper soon. #jaliepatterns
Starting to look like pants. Step 78/115 done. #jalie2109 next up, lining. #jaliepatterns
Trying to stay focused on sewing my snow pants that have about step 24/132 done, and trying to resist the urge to find some wool sweaters at the thrift shop to harvest for wool.
Say it with me… you do not need a new project!!!
Sorry Buddy, definitely not your morning. 1 minute, you’re watching a movie, next…
It’s perfect!!
And it’s off the needles, just waiting for blocking and weaving in some ends. And it fits!!!
