……more quilted, more Bubble Frock, and more Cecilie Bahnsen inspiration!!!! This top seems to be a continuation of pervious themes: my love of using quilts as fabric for clothes, my love of the Bubble Frock pattern (by Lydia Naomi), and my love of Cecilie Bahnsen silhouettes!!! The first time I used a quilt to make…

Bubble Frock & Wrap Skirt Hack
Boy has it been a while since I’ve made anything. I needed a very special outfit for a very special event today and as per usual, nothing in my closet would do. Although I have been making as much, I’ve still been accumulating fabric so I looked to my stash to make this set. One…
But of course there’s more lace…
When a fabric is this pretty, just know that I’m getting enough to make a couple of pieces from it. I usually don’t even have a plan. I just need to get it to “store,” not hoard. (I felt like I needed to make that important distinction.) My original plan was to make a wrap…
That’s a wrap!!!
The dress I mean. It’s not a wrap for summer makes for me. I think I can squeeze in a couple more outfits before the chilly weather really sneaks in. I mean, I think I got a little tan today while washing my car! I must have plenty of time! After seeing a few sewists…
The ULTIMATE Mash-up!!
Well, this is my ultimate mash-up! I had the pleasure of collaborating with True Bias last fall on a project and I came up with a few ideas and ultimately went with making a hack of the Nikko Dress but this idea has been begging for me to make it ever since!! (**the drama of…
HomeGoods is the new fabric store…
I have to say that since my Cecile Bahnsen inspired quilt coat make, I’m always going into HomeGoods now looking for items to refashion: curtains, sheets, tablecloths, and, my personal favorite, quilts and throws. (Someone with expertise in grammar please let me know if I just overdid it with the commas in that last sentence!)…
Livin’ in Linen :: Part 2
You ever see a fabric SO pretty that you go crazy?!?! That you order it from halfway across the globe and get like 7 yards of it because you don’t want to get it and love it even more but then realize you didn’t get enough? No? I went into sicko mode and ordered this…
Livin’ in Linen
I’m a traveler. I once read a quote that said, “Not all who wander are lost.” That’s me! I like to wander and travel and experience different cultures and see different parts of the world and planet. I was a big geography geek in grade school so it could be the evolution of that but…
#FibreMoodRya
I know it’s nearly May and I’m making a wool jacket. I had to! I’ve been eye-ing making a shaket since Isabel Marant’s Etoile came out. I was OB-sessed!!! My plan was to literally extend a larger men’s shirt pattern and use a wool to make it but all these inspo patterns have come out…
Green with LOVE!
I made this ensemble for my good friend’s wedding 2 years ago. The beginnings of it are a little fuzzy to be honest with you. (The beginnings of the outfit that is, not the wedding! HA) **thinking face emoji** I know for sure that I had no idea what I would make. This kind of…
True Bias Nikko Dress Remix
No lie, I have 5 True Bias patterns in my stash waiting to get made up. When Kelli reached out about participating in their fall photo collaboration, I had to double check what I had and decide what I wanted to make for the collaboration. I kept looping back to the Nikko Dress, which I,…
ah-MUSE-ing myelf!
I really do amuse myself quite a bit! You’d think I was an only child. (I’m actually the eldest of 3 girls.) I was so graciously gifted this Muse pattern by P&M Patterns this summer. This is one of the clearest and most detailed patterns I’ve ever used! At every step, there was a clear…
