Style Your Meadowood for Winter

When I created the Meadowood I knew it would be a four seasons top for me, I can already picture it with shorts and sandals this summer, but I am getting ahead of myself.  Let’s talk winter styling, or more appropriately, layering the Meadowood.

Meadowood has a dolman sleeve which can make layering tricky if there isn’t enough room through the sleeves.  But since it is such a floaty top it lends itself well to floaty oversized layers.  I started to realize a few weeks ago that I have a few patterns in my collection that actually pair really well with it, and I didn’t even remember until I got cold one day while wearing one.

Me Made May ’17: Week 3

May has been a funny month for me which I will definitely be sharing more about next week, but for now I will finally get caught up on my weekly recaps of Me Made May ’17.

If you haven’t read my first two weekly recaps for Me Made May you can find them here: week 1 and week 2.

At this point we were half way through the month and still going strong with different me made outfits.

Me Made May ’17: Week 1

Trying something a little different this year with Me Made May, by sharing weekly recaps for you.  I think this is going to be a better way to share my weekly insights and pattern thoughts without trying to remember it all month long.  Week 1 has been pretty much a breeze, thanks to a wardrobe of handmade, but I know as the month progresses it is going to get more difficult.  But I love the challenge and the knowledge that comes from this month of pushing myself.  

You can find my thoughts on the challenge in these posts from 2015 and 2016

No Guarantee This is the Last

I am a creature of habit when it comes to sewing.  If I find a pattern that I love I will keep making it over and over in all the fabrics.  When I lengthened the Laurelhurst for my Fall Collection post, I discovered just how much I love that pattern, like so much I want to wear one every day.  The natural thing to do is sew up a bunch so that I can in fact wear one every day.

Remix the Stitch – Day 8

You always know it is the start of the school year when your lovely little kiddos bring home germs for you 🙂  Thankfully sick or not I can still sit back and enjoy the pictures of all the awesome remixes filling my inbox.

Joining us today for Remix the Stitch – Day 8 are three pretty fantastic ladies who have mad sewing skills.

Remix the Stitch – Day 6

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We had a big birthday celebration for Sophie’s 5th birthday on Saturday, filled with lot of food, friends and family so needless to say the rest of the weekend involved relaxing.

But I am back at it this morning to share with you the three lovely sewist joining me for Remix the Stitch – Day 6!

Remix the Stitch – Day 1

Welcome to the first day of the Remix the Stitch Blog tour, I hope you are just as excited as I am to see what these ladies have come up with.

Let me quickly share all the nitty gritty about some things and then I will throw it over to the first two bloggers sharing their makes for Remix the Stitch – Day 1, they are insane in such a good way!

Laurelhurst Tester Round Up

I love my testers! After completing every test I just marvel at the luck I have with every test.  Many of these ladies keep coming back and I couldn’t be happier to be creating a core group of testers.  But bringing in new testers every pattern keeps things fresh and gives me new perspectives on things.

When releasing my newest pattern Laurelhurst, this group of ladies were the patterns biggest cheerleaders.  Which is why it is crazy it has taken me this long to get this post up to share the love of these testers.

Laurelhurst

There are so many times when I see something in the store and think ‘I can make that’.  Just ask my mom and sisters, I say it all the time.  When you have the skills to make it yourself why not put that knowledge to use.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect layering wrap to wear in the strange weather we have been experiencing lately.  I wanted something that was slightly fitted while still being flowy and ultimately comfortable.  I am especially excited to share with you my newest pattern, Laurelhurst!  It couldn’t be more my style.

Selfish Sewing Week Progress – Day 2

I hope everyone is having a great time sewing for themselves.  Some of us don’t do it nearly enough so setting aside a week to sew things that have been on our list is always fun.  I love seeing what everyone is sewing up.

Since I powered through a long night making the Evergreen Jacket for Day 1 I knew Day 2 was going to be sort of a rest day for sewing.  I am also in the middle of pattern testing my next pattern, Laurelhurst, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to sew up the latest tester version of the wrap to see how the fit was evolving.
