Not much to say about the Ogden Cami by True Bias that hasn't already been said. I love it, and honestly you will too if you don't already own this sewing pattern. I plan on making a thousand of them. 

I try to not recycle Instagram shots too much but this is the only picture of the new jumpsuit I made. My sewing productivity is abysmal compared to 2018, which is why I haven't posted since May. Anywho, this is Buttericks B6691. This pattern calls for a challis, rayon, crepe, or silk...so of course I used this beautiful burgundy stretch ponte knit. You know what the kids say, yolo, or something. It paid off though, because this fabric is so soft that when I wear it to work I feel like I'm in pjs. 

Now, if you are looking to go a similar route, just know that using such fabric will bulk up your waistline, and is a bit heavy to be kept up with 3/8th elastic (what the pattern calls for). If you decide to use a thicker elastic, you would need to make some adjustments to the length of the bodice and the top of the pants create a properly sized casing. Well, that's what I would do...but I'm no pro.

Don't worry, I don't have too many vacation photos to spam you with. I actually didn't take too many photos this trip. When I begin to look for every great photo opportunity while traveling, it begins to feel like I'm there for Instagram and not myself. I think I'm overthinking things.

Anyways, we spent a lot of time walking around Mexico City, specifically the Roma/Condesa area. Definitely a hip area to explore! 💖

Feelin' better now that I have a few sewing projects under my belt this year. I just finished a new bathing suit pattern last night, but before I get to that I'm sharing another outfit in the Adrienne Blouse I made last month. How has a month gone by so fast? Don't know. Couldn't tell ya. But I'm still out here wearing this pirate blouse. Hopefully I'll be back soon to share my latest project!

April marks the beginning of festival season for most music fans. Many started prepping their fits months ago but it seems that no one talks about it in the sewing community. Maybe that's a matter of different interests but I know I can't be the only sewist interested in a weekend filled with music.

So, as someone who hasn't attended Coachella lately but has been in previous years, I figured I'd share my thoughts on what I would be sewing if I was traveling out to the desert. 

1. Adrienne Blouse | Friday Pattern Company. No, this isn't a shameless plug to the sew-along I filmed. If you haven't noticed, big sleeves are in. This pattern fits the bill and can be cropped to go with your high waisted jean shorts. Enough said.

2. Ogden Cami | True Bias. The festival is high temps during the day and chilly at night, so you need pieces that are easy to layer. The Ogden Cami is just that. Such a flattering cut that goes well with everything. 

3. Pilatus Swimsuit | Opian. Technically I wouldn't wear this to a show, but it would still be coming with me on a trip. I have fabric in the mail to whip up one of these and I can't wait!

4. Portside Travel Set | Grainline Studios. Everyone needs a weekend bag and Grainline stepped up to the plate with this pattern. Perfect for any 4 day getaway, honestly.

5. Lander Shorts | True Bias. Second True Bias pattern moment! It's not my fault they make such stylish pieces. I find it hard to find cute shorts because they are either too long or too short. So, make your own!

5. Dress 47 | Cali Faye Collection. I love the feel of this dress! Hack off a few inches and you've got yourself a Reformation dress. That was easy, right?

But now that I'm thinking about it, I don't need Coachella as an excuse to sew all these up... ;)
