And here is shirt #3! This one is made also with one of Michael Miller’s new interlock knit fabric – it’s called Nordic Diamond and comes in a handful of colors. It’s super soft, very stretchy and comfortable, and just really nice fabric all around. So wonderful to work with and it looks so great […]
Sewing
Time for boy’s shirt pattern #2: Simplicity 9499. This time I used that beautiful blue Nordic Diamond print from Michael Miller’s new knit collection with a solid grey and it’s perfect! I made it a little big so it should fit him for next school year. Project: Boy’s long sleeved raglan t-shirt MATERIALS & SUPPLIES […]
My favorite fabric source, Michael Miller, sent me some of their new knits to play with, and I decided to do a boy’s shirt pattern review series. I chose 3 different commercial patterns and am going to do a sew-along for each one and then compare them all and pick a favorite. Ready….GO! Project: Boys […]
I promised this tutorial months ago when I did my first pattern sew-along (remember the wool bias skirt?) and here it finally is! I’ve been wanting to make a light-weight knit lounge sack for Linus so he has some cozy but not too hot jammies. He’s crawling so we can’t do a sleep sack anymore, […]
Michael Miller just released a bunch of beautiful new lines, including some new knit fabrics by Patty Young! Lately I have been all about the knits – they’re so soft and comfy and … comfy. I love comfy for me, for my kids, it’s what I need in my life right now. I have a […]
These days my mornings get started way to fast for me to even think about doing something interesting with my hair. So pony tail it is on most days, but that’s nothing a twisty headband can’t fix! SUPPLIES 1/4 yard fabric (or a large scrap) I used the new Riley Blake Chevron in Navy basic […]
I found a free skirt pattern that I’ve been dying to try with some chiffon and it was a complete failure. See how the side seams are bunchy? AAAGGG! All that work…not exactly wasted I suppose. Cutting the fabric out was much more difficult than I had imagined, but the sewing was a disaster. Next […]
I’ve been having so much fun with Riley Blake’s new Chevron cotton prints, and making a little monster pillow/friend to go in my boys’ new monster themed bedroom has been on the to-do list for quite some time. This boyish fabric was perfect for the project. The great thing about this project is if you […]
Maybe it’s because Easter is a moving holiday, but it always sneaks up on me! This year I decided to finally make some little decorations to help it feel more like Easter, and these adorable fabric Easter eggs were the first project on the list! I used Retro Mama’s pattern (get the free pattern here) […]
I know I said the next Sew-Along was going to be for a sleep/play sack, but this project snuck up on me first! I got some of Riley Blake’s new cotton Chevron prints and I wanted to make some fun and crazy little pants for my boys. They couldn’t choose just one favorite color so…the […]
