Loving my #PenroseBlouse on this sunny Friday. I Loving my #PenroseBlouse on this sunny Friday. I created this pattern for @sewnews back in August and I finally get to share it with all of you. It is the perfect spring top that you can get for free by heading over to Sew Daily. Follow the link in my profile.
This might not look like much but it is the result This might not look like much but it is the result of an hour and a half of math and notch moving on two pattern pieces. My brain is tired...
Social media can be so so good and other times too Social media can be so so good and other times too much for me. Today I was piled on in a group for my size chart. All I could do was cry. Red face snotty nose cry to my husband because it hurts. I am far from perfect and learn new things about this pattern world all the time but I have always tried my best to include as many women as possible. So today just felt like too much for my heart to take. I decided to step away from work and work on something that brings me immense joy. Woodworking 😍 Tomorrow is a new day and I hope to have the patience for the good and bad but for now I am going to just immerse myself in sawdust and power tools.
I have three patterns almost ready for testing. H I have three patterns almost ready for testing. Hope to start testing on February 5th.

I just had to post another Meadowood outfit becaus I just had to post another Meadowood outfit because it surprised me. I knew I liked Meadowood and Phinney Ridge together but this combination and the distressed jeans just made me happy. I love finding new ways to wear my clothes. . . #ssdmeadowood #ssdphinneyridge
The bias binding on Meadowood is such a great stas The bias binding on Meadowood is such a great stash buster. I like going through my scrap bin to find a fun coordinating fabric to add a pop of colour or pattern to my top. ⁣ ⁣ It makes the top even better and uses some of the scraps that pile up. Really it's a win/win in my book.⁣ ⁣ Today is the last day of the Meadowood sewalong and it all about buttons and buttonholes. Plus I share how you can skip the buttonholes if you just don't want to take on sewing 8 of them.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ssdmeadowood #ssdsewalong ⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
The one thing I have come to realize with my Meado The one thing I have come to realize with my Meadowood blouses is that they look great both on their own and layered with other patterns I have.⁣ ⁣ Yesterday I wore it with skinny jeans, moccasins, and a linen Leavenworth jacket. I love when a garment can be transitioned through the seasons.⁣ ⁣ Today is day 5 of the Meadowood sewalong where I am teaching you all about how to finish the neckline and front placket with bias tape. I may be crazy, but I love working with bias tape.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ssdmeadowood #ssdleavenworth ⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
