I have 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 patterns for you today I have 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 patterns for you today. Two patterns that have been expanded to my new size range and one new pattern. The two patterns that got a major upgrade and are now available in the full 0-34 size range are Phinney Ridge and Laurelhurst. These cardigans are in constant rotation both for lazy days around the house or the occasional lunch date with my husband. Rounding out the bunch is the new versatile tank that I wore all last summer, Alki. Scoop neck, relaxed fit, and swing hem the perfect tank. All three patterns are marked down in the shop, so if you are looking for a new project to lift your spirits grab your copies today. . . #ssdphinneyridge #ssdlaurelhurst #ssdalki #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking

I wanted to have the elbow patches on this Phinney Ridge but was limited in options so I went with the wrong side of the French terry. I like the little bit of texture on an otherwise perfectly classic navy cardigan. . . #ssdphinneyridge #straightstitchdesigns #indiepatterns #sewcialists #seattlesews #wearhandmade #memadewardrobe
Much better mood today and I will hopefully not be Much better mood today and I will hopefully not be crying about coffee. Decided to put in really clothes and set aside painting and moving projects to do some work. This #ssdiciclecreek in french terry from @stylemakerfabrics is the perfect cozy layer. Do you get dressed or stay cozy in sweats every day?
I had all these plan to do a fun styled post but t I had all these plan to do a fun styled post but that all went out the window with our self isolation. So here is the big news... We are moving back to Canada! Our timing is actually really funny because we have been talking about this for probably 5 years but made the decision about a week before all the Covid craziness hit Seattle. So we are using this self isolation time to pack, paint, and get the house ready to sell. We still aren't sure where we are moving other than our new home will be on Vancouver Island. We also don't know what the housing market will be like in a month so who knows when we are actually moving. So I guess this post is to say we are moving but we don't know when or where 😂

Then I was annoyed at myself for even caring.⁣ ⁣ My testers aren't going to look at this picture and wonder why I have so much redness on my chest and upper arms, and they aren't going to care about my double chin. They are going to see a fantastic tank top with a clean finish at the armholes, just like I want them to.⁣ ⁣ It doesn't matter how far we come in our own body journeys we all still have days where we are insecure. Instead of pretending like it isn't happening, I am sharing with all of you.⁣ ⁣ Have you had an insecure day recently? How did you get over it?

Before making my Icicle Creek pattern I had never Before making my Icicle Creek pattern I had never wore a henley style shirt. But now I see what I have been missing. I love that it gives some visual detail while still being a comfy tee.

Style and Comfort Combined⁣ ⁣ My patterns all Style and Comfort Combined⁣ ⁣ My patterns all revolve around that idea. I am a busy mom, wife, and small business owner. I want to fill my closets with clothes that I can grab and go that will get worn into the ground. ⁣ ⁣ Those garments need to pair well with jeans and runners, or booties and flat.
