{Pattern Review: Simple Sew Skater Dress}

December 25, 2020 by kelerr

Merry Christmas! Prior to the holidays, I had a productive week of polishing off a few makes. One of those names was the Simple Sew Skater Dress. Though I was familiar with the pattern company, this was my first foray into making one of their patterns. I had some fabric from Mind the Maker that I was eager to use, and it seemed a nice match! I was looking for a simple party dress vibe to show off the quirky […]

{Pattern Review: Sew Over It Ava Skirt}

December 22, 2020 by kelerr

I cannot believe I haven’t made an Ava Skirt, being the Sew Over It fan that I am. It’s such a simple make, perfect for any sewing level and yet, until this week, I had not tackled one, and I have no idea why! I got the motivation to do the project from looking at my stash. The fabric I used was a gift from my grandmother last Christmas. She bought the fabric in Scotland on a trip she took […]

{Latest Make: Deer and Doe Sirocco Jumpsuit}

December 18, 2020 by kelerr

December has just been flying by, hasn’t it?! I can’t believe we are already nearly four months done with this school year and only two weeks away from the New Year! Even though I haven’t been very busy, I’ve somehow been busy. I realize that statement doesn’t make any sense, but I’ve had a ton of little things that I needed to take care of this month, and they have all kind of added up to equal less sewing time […]

{Latest Makes: Heather and Joan}

December 8, 2020 by kelerr

I’ve been surprisingly productive the last few weeks. Teaching from home cuts out my commute time (not that my commute was that long begin with, but it still makes a huge difference to my day) so when I finish up with my workday, I’m already home and ready to get started on my personal projects! And lately I’ve been shopping in my fabric stash and trying to use up what I have before buying anything new. This has resulted in […]

{Pattern Review: Sew Over It Giselle Dress}

November 27, 2020 by kelerr

My sewing motivation is having a moment. I have finished two projects in record speed over the past week, all with fabric from my stash (of course, I also somehow managed to purchase two new fabrics as well, though I will say that I have been really good – well, better than normal – this year about using what I have!). I’ve had the Sew Over It Giselle Dress in the back of my “to make” pile since it was […]

{Pattern Review: The Snacky Seamstress Nora Shirtdress}

November 20, 2020 by kelerr

It is not secret that I love all things retro. So when I spotted The Snacky Seamstress‘ Nora Shirtdress pattern on a tester’s feed, I immediately knew I had to have it. It wasn’t quite released yet when I first saw it, so I eagerly waited a few days and purchased it as soon as it came out. I had some fabric on hand that I knew would be perfect for it. I printed the pattern out and taped it […]

{Pattern Review: By Hand London Elisalex Dress}

November 13, 2020 by kelerr

The other day I was working from home and sitting next to a box of stash fabric. During my lunch I started half-heartedly looking through it and came upon a cranberry-red wool-like fabric (I’m not sure what the actual content is, as I got it for free somewhere, but it was heavyweight and felt like it might be in the wool family). I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it, and it was a project I’ve wanted to […]

{Pattern Review: By Hand London Hannah Dress}

November 10, 2020 by kelerr

Well, better late than never right? I knew today was Tuesday, and went to bed last night knowing full well that I didn’t prepare a blog post for today. It’s been a tiring couple of days, and sometimes (actually always, in my case), a little extra sleep is the solution. I was prepared to just let the day go by without a post, but decided I should just bit the bullet and get one out there later in the day. […]

{October Sewing Update}

October 16, 2020 by kelerr

It’s amazing how being back to regular work just strips all the of sewjo right out of me. I’m not even that busy outside of work hours, but I’ve found myself just coming home and vegging out more than anything else lately. I’ve been reading more than sewing lately, which I guess makes sense since I’m home more than usual and don’t really need to wear my regular fancy clothes. Really looking forward to the day I can again. Don’t […]
