With everything going on in my home state of Minnesota lately, it’s been hard to get my sewjo back. Today I sewed a happy #SinclairSofia. French Terry from Amanda’s Bundles.

With fall around the corner and leaves already starting to change color, I don’t know if I’m ready to say goodbye to dreaming up cute dresses like this one here, which is another mash up of 2 McCalls patterns: M7789 and M7971.

This here is the Marcel Dress by Chalk & Notch. I followed the Front ruffle and tie strap tutorial that is up on their blog and I think it turned out amazing. 🙃

This dress is a Reformation inspired dress that I created by mashing up 2 McCalls patterns: M7937 and M7971 and I love the result! It possesses a je ne said quoi quality to it and it will be a dress I’ll reach for to feel a little bit of pizzazz. 🙃

Mauve, big leopard print sweatshirt on a hanger in front of a closet.
So nice to be able to cut fabric and finish sewing in just a couple hours! #SinclairPatterns Nova in a cozy leopard print sweater for fall.

I do love to celebrate a newly completed knitting project with a little photoshop time travel fun. Second image is original 1950s pattern.

I think I made my perfect summer outfit to beat the heat 😝 There’s something about a cute skirt and top combo that is just *chefs kiss*

My second version of the McCalls M7943 is here and I’m super happy with it! ❤️ It’s such a lovely and easy pattern to sew up and the result is just stunning (IMO) 😝

Pocket bags match the shirt.
So happy with my Sinclair Byron top and shorts! Top is what was left of a thrifted sheet. Shorts are made from a shabby chic Ralph Lauren shower curtain I got at a church sale. Inside of the pockets match my shirt.

navy blue handmade pants and the tail and partial foot of my German shepherd sewing assistant!
Second pair of Sinclair Nori pants. Made from a Thrift store bedsheet. I am living in these pants this summer! (German Shepherd sewing assistants tail !) 🩷 Might have to make another pair!

Long time with no sewing! Herniated a disk in my back. Gradually getting better. Made the Sinclair Nori Peg Pants. Love them so much! Super comfortable. Made from a thrift store cotton sheet.

#memademay Day 29 - prettier on the inside. I am still so pleased with the facing/lining on my princess jacket. Its so clean and neat - although here it does need an iron 🤣

#memademay 25 - comfiest outfit. This stretch sateen dress is so comfy and has been worn so many times it's starting to fade now.

#memademay day 23 - matchy matchy and possibly monochrome too. I make and wear a lot of blue and navy.

A brown and beige check dress with buttons on the bodice.
#memademay Day 21 - print matching
A second appearance of this check B6412. I normally don't worry about pattern matching, but tried hard to match the checks for this dress.

#memademay Day 20 with @charmpatterns.bsky.social, knit fabric. I've made several of these Sophia tops in cotton spandex knit. I do have plans for the full dress some time in the future.

#memademay Day 16 - Hollywood inspired.
This won't be most people's 'Hollywood' but I think of this as my Barbie dress because its SO pink, and I bought the fabric and made it soon after the Barbie film came out.

It’s become somewhat of a yearly tradition for me to sew a coat; one that I cut out at the beginning of the year and race against the clocks to finish before spring rolls around. 🤷🏻♀️
Pattern: McCalls M7667 view A with the asymmetrical collar 🧵🪡

#memademay25 with @charmpatterns.bsky.social Day 6 - plaid. This is B6412. It sadly doesn't fit so well at the moment, and is on my list of projects to re-size or makeover.

Green, brown, tan and black military jacket front has been embellished with coral/pink tropical flowers on the lower pockets and upper chest. Bits of leopard print fabric have been strategically placed on the cuffs, on one lower pocket flap, and on the button placket.
Back of the green, brown, tan and black military jacket that has been embellished with groups of coral and pink tropical flowers scattered across the back along with a big leopard print fabric heart.
Had this project in mind for ages. Finally found a military jacket in great condition for $5.99 that fit me perfectly! Had fun embellishing it with fabric from my stash. Mostly hand sewn.

Another week, another pair of jeans. 👖 Friends, my jeans making bonanza has come to an end after I hammered down the button on these Jamie jeans by Named Clothing. With the weather warming up here in my corner of the world, I want to return to making dresses 👗

Another fun make with $4 box store knit! I did have a little trouble with this pattern and ended up winging it until I liked the fit 🩷 That’s the beauty of making your own clothes…change direction and make it your own. Such a fun summer shirt!

This here is the Ash jeans by Megan Nielsen Patterns. While making them, I ran out of gold topstitching thread so I used some leftover copper topstitching thread. I also mixed in copper rivets and I love it. I’m now calling it an intentional design feature 😝
