Helllllo! I almost forgot to share this recent make here on my blog. Bad blogger alert. I'm super happy to share with you the results of my most recent collaboration with True Bias! In full transparency, True Bias did provide me with the pattern and hired me to provide some content for their channels. But! They didn't pay for this blog post or for any promo on my channels.

You may recall this fabric from the modified McCalls dress I made, and I'm SO glad I had enough to squeeze out this wrap top. Initially, I was going to go with a darker color scheme. This gorgeous fabric is from Blackbird Fabrics. 

Anyway, I can highly recommend this pattern. I've sewn up quite a few of their other patterns, and the Calvin Wrap was next on my list. Somethings just work out like that! The little ring and slider detail on the straps is a pretty little detail.

 If you make the top version, it's a great way to get through some scrap fabrics. You could even get away with using premade bias tape to really cut down on the required fabric. It's a 10/10 for me!

Can you believe I've made 5 of these dresses?? When it works, it works. And it's such an easy project to sew. Check out the links below to see my previous versions! I've been sewing it since 2016, a heavily modified Burda Style pattern. Lovely fabric from Blackbird Fabrics!

It brings me much joy to find indie pattern companies. Decided to make some shorts out of the Tint of Mint Ines trousers. If reading directions isn't your jam, don't worry, she's got a video tutorial. Can't wait to sew up some more Tint of Mint patterns!

Wow! So much has transpired in our world since we last spoke. I hope you've been able to keep your head above water with all this stress and that you're staying safe. Feels like we may see some real waves of change... don't forget to vote, y'all!! 

I've been burrowing my head in sewing projects. In fact, I recently set a limit to no more than one project a week. Now I'm a few projects past this one. This was a fun sew! I got this fabric for $4.99 a yard from Mood, it's an Italian Mother Goose Satin-Faced Stretch Cotton Twill...what a name. Oh, and here is a link to the pattern.

I cut my size based on my body measurements which almost always results in the pattern being too big...much prefer to work from final garment measurements. I had to heavily modify to fit around my waist and hip area. It's kind of the one thing that still mystifies me after all my years of sewing. 

Other than that, they turned out pretty cute! I'll still need to take out even more fabric around the hip to get a better fit but I still like them! Not a fan of how quickly this fabric creases, though.

I've been a busy little sewing bee! But wow. Can't believe it took me this long to make the Linden Sweater by Grainline Studio! 10/10 will make again. I made a size 6 with no alterations. Will probably make a slightly cropped version next. This striped medium weight knit is from Mood Fabrics, which is probably one of the best fabrics I've purchased from them yet. Perfectly Waldo chic.

Catch the BTS sewing scenes over on my TikTok! No, I can't believe I just said that either.
