Instagram post 2191060313138697481_574964885 I feel a little like I have a sale hangover today.  It is always such an intense time after Thanksgiving.  I am thankful for the business but overwhelmed by everything coming at me

I was happy to just sit at my computer plugging away at projects and a great lunch with my hubby.

I am loving how much this hand crocheted scarf @deliacreates gave me matches my new duster length Phinney Ridge.  This whole outfit it definitely my jam 😍

Instagram post 2190240803195250731_574964885 These mirror selfies have quickly become my favourite part of the week.  I love sharing the behind the scenes look at what I am wearing in such a casual way.⁣
⁣
Every week is different, today is brought to you by a super cold house, 7 day old hair and two of my favourite handmades.  I made this Laurelhurst last year for @stylemakerfabrics and it is my go to whenever it is chilly.  And I made this black Montlake the other day because surprisingly I didn't have any handmade black tees.⁣

Instagram post 2185842314520317392_574964885 Thanks for all of your suggestions yesterday on this top.  It may have taken a couple attempts to get the peplum right, but I am really happy with how it turned out.

Feels like the perfect casual Thanksgiving outfit.  And if I need to unbutton my pants your won't see, thanks to the peplum 😂

The Montlake tee always comes through in a pinch.

Instagram post 2182395894526149296_574964885 Taking a break to sew this afternoon.  Sewing is my favourite way to decompress from a busy brain day, and today was definitely one of those days.

Today was spent firming up the retreat for next year.  I should have the date to announce tomorrow!! #montlaketee #ssdpatterndesign #straightstitchdesigns #indiepatterndesigner #sewcialists #ssdmakersretreat #sewersofinstagram #seattlesews #everydaygarments
Instagram post 2180938382039939675_574964885 Sewed up a quick no fuss version of my retreat pattern, Icicle Creek.  In this sweater knit with added length it is the ultimate cozy top.

Still trying to decide if I should release this pattern to all of you.  What do you think?

Instagram post 2180054006717933933_574964885 Do you remember when mirror selfies were most of what you saw in peoples grids?  A quick snapshot into what sewists were making and wearing. ⁣
⁣
Now it feels like we need the perfectly styled picture with beautiful backgrounds and colours, not a dirty mirror and cluttered background.⁣
⁣
I feel like an old lady saying this, but I miss the ease of social media from a few years ago.  Sure it wasn't as pretty but man did it make life easy when I could just stand in my dining room and snap a picture.⁣

Instagram post 2179475207009661315_574964885 Ice dyeing from the retreat!  Look at how the colours are melting together.  One of my favourite parts of ice dyeing is when the dye powder hits the wet fabric and you get speckled colours.⁣
