It's a long weekend here in Canada and believe it It's a long weekend here in Canada and believe it or not we finally have a warm spring day in BC. Today definitely called for a linen Qualicum and my Birks that have just been waiting for the sun. Qualicum is releasing soon, I just want to get it right. #ssdqualicum #memademay2022
Rain and grey came back today so I went for bright Rain and grey came back today so I went for bright layers and a coffee. Both of which can lift any mood. This is a RTW button up since my chambray #cheyennetunic hasn't fit in years 🤣. I layered it over a colourful #ssdmeadowood and paired it with some black skinny jeans and my favourite moccasins. I am loving the way #memademay is pushing me to try new combinations I wouldn't normally do.
The sun is shining!! I can't tell you how happy th The sun is shining!! I can't tell you how happy this makes me, we have had so much rain. I went for layers today that I wouldn't normally wear. RTW Skinny jeans, #ssdmagnolia and a #ssdphinneyridge. I made this Magnolia sample for the classes I taught at Craftcation. I had forgotten how much I love this pattern. Now if the weather would warm up I can wear it on it's own. #memademay2022
Going on a date night! I thought I would change o Going on a date night! I thought I would change out of my normal jeans and tee for jeans and a nice top. These garments are what I love about my patterns. Something as simple as a blouse with a fun detail like #ssdleschi layered with a loose cardigan like #ssdlaurelhurst you have something that looks great but is still really comfortable. Plus these garments paired with flair #mnash is perfection!
It is such a cold day, if only spring would actual It is such a cold day, if only spring would actually start. I am sitting at my desk with a heated blanket for goodness sakes. I have a full day of sewing and computer work so I went for a comfy RTW tee and my too small but I don't care #ssdphinneyridge. I have had this Phinney Ridge for probably 4 years and I still wear it all the time. Even if it is a few sizes too small 😉 . . #memademay2022 #memademay
This outfit is the perfect example of something th This outfit is the perfect example of something that you put on and think "oh this is cute". But then when you see a picture of yourself you think "wow could I have picked a worse color combination for myself". Either way I wore this today and probably won't wear these two pieces together again. But I will say separately these are some of my favourite pieces. . . #ssdlaurelhurst #ssdmontlake #memademay2022 #memademay
With the sun shining this morning I knew it was th With the sun shining this morning I knew it was the perfect day to take my new Qualicum for a spin. This pattern is currently in testing and looking so good! Aiming for a release next week! This one is made in lightweight denim from @joann_stores I got while in the states. The buttons are from my visit to @shoplamercerie and they are so good! . . #ssdqualicum #memademay2022 #memademay
After a morning of baseball, I had an afternoon wo After a morning of baseball, I had an afternoon working on the fence again. I LOVE a project like this where I can end the day sweaty with sore muscles. Went with a basic work outfit of a #ssdmontlake and another pair of #averyleggings. Comfortable and stretchy are the perfect combination. #memademay #memademay2022
My outfit might not have been very weather appropr My outfit might not have been very weather appropriate today. Then again I should never trust a drizzle when leaving on a walk with the dogs. Atleast I was warm in my #fairmountshacket and ice dyed #ssdiciclecreek. Other than sweats I pretty much wear jeans and a t-shirt of some sort every day. I am definitely going to try and mix it up this month. #memademay2022 #memademay
