I've had this pile of laundered fabrics just sitting in my sewing room unfolded for way too long. They still need to be ironed but now I can see them all together as I start pondering my fall wardrobe. 💙 Unsurprisingly, I gravitate to this color palette a lot and it matches the now-finished shawl I recently posted. ✨ P.S. A million thank yous to all of you lovely people who follow along with my sewing journey. 🌈 To celebrate reaching 35k followers I'm running a little flash sale in the shop. Use code YAY35K at checkout to receive 35% off any single pattern (bundles excluded). ❤️ Discount will be valid until midnight Sunday August 19, Pacific time. ✨

Major 💙 for this hand-dyed Lou Box Top by @sewhungryhippie Go check out her gorgeously colorful feed for other angles and you may spy a few more lous while you're there. 🌈

Repost:
Another #louboxtop in hand dyed #indigo rayon fabric I made at a class with @jenniferdyes a month ago. It has imperfections which I love - it makes the top interesting and unique. Just like humans- what makes you different makes you beautiful. I also made my necklace from clay while experiment crafting with my kids. 😄 Also of note, if you’re new to garment sewing @sewdiyblog is the place to go for classic patterns that are easy to understand and give a great result. 💕 #sewingforme #memademay2018 #isewclothes #hungryhippiesews #indigodye #makeyourstyle #makeyourown #makersgonnamake #sewingpatterns #capsulewardrobe

My 🍉 one-piece is all done!! 🙌 This T-back design is still hard to put on even though I went up one size. 😬 But it's super fun so a little struggle is worth it, right? ✂️ The pattern is a vintage Stretch & Sew pattern from the early 90s. (Scroll back in my feed a bit to see a photo of the pattern.) Coincidentally, a few weeks ago I was watching the 90s version of The Parent Trap and young Lindsay Lohan is wearing a swimsuit with this T-back design. Do you ever find fashion inspiration in movies? #sewingswimwear #stretchandsew .

DIY Caftan – Review of the Charlie Caftan by Closet Case Patterns

about a month ago

This summer is turning out to be the summer of the caftan for me. Last week I shared a caftan hack of Lou Box Dress 1 pattern. And today, I have a fantastic, tropical Charlie Caftan to share. This year I’ve only sewn one garment with a zipper so I’m definitely into a the comfort zone with my me-mades. And, I’ll be spending a week long vacation in Hawaii this month so I’m planning to spend a lot of time in caftans. My skin is super sensitive to the sun so I always cover up as much as possible and this year, the caftan will be my go-to for chic coverage.
