If you follow my Instagram account, you may have already seen the news that I have started a little business venture with my sister. We have been designing our own fabric and selling them through Spoonflower. This is an exciting new project, and one that I have been thinking about for a while now, and I’m excited to share it with you today! This venture came about after realizing that I want to do more in the sewing field, but […]

The Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress was my first project of what has started out as a very slow month for sewing. Essentially, life happened, and I ended up extending a trip upstate by a couple of days due to a completely punctured tire. Thankfully, this happened in my sister’s driveway and not on the road, but it also happened at an extremely odd time when we couldn’t bring it in to be fixed, and long story short, my stay […]

Aside from new releases, there are very few patterns left at Sew Over It that I haven’t tried to make. The Rosie Dress was one of those patterns. Despite purchasing the pattern quite a long time ago, I just never had the opportunity to make it up. In June, I decided that it would be a delightful dress to wear to my work end term party. I had gotten some really great fabric at the SOI store in London in […]

Summer sewing is in full swing over here, and no one is more excited than me that there’s still a full month before I need to go back to work! More sewing time means a bigger and better fall wardrobe! Now, before you get too impressed, you should know that two of these dresses were basically finished except when the month began, and one was in a state of being about half finished. Three were brand new patterns (to me) […]

I’ve bought my apartment eight years ago, and am still trying to figure out exactly how I want to organize it. This past month, I found myself with a little extra cash (thanks to a car repair I needed being under warranty, there therefore free!), and I was finally able to get what I needed for my sewing space overhaul. First thing I got was a new desk chair. I got the idea of an upholstered desk chair into my […]

My latest completed make is the PollyAnna Pocket Dress from Gina Renee Designs. This was a new pattern design company for me, and I honestly can’t remember how I stumbled upon this pattern. However, it came to me as I was trying to come up with the perfect use for my Siesta Beach Lady McElroy Fabric (the link will take you to Blackbird Fabrics which is where I bought the fabric, however I have seen it on many fabric sites). […]

After having great success with the Myosotis Dress, I wanted to try my hand at another Deer and Doe pattern. I already had the Sirocco Jumpsuit cut out and ready to go, as well as the perfect fabric for it, and so I took the plunge. First off, jumpsuits and rompers are a tad out of my comfort zone, wearing-wise. I can absolutely make one without a problem. But I don’t often wear them, convinced that they can’t possibly look […]

My mom and I go see almost every production of Into the Woods that we can find locally. She took me to see it on Broadway for my seventh birthday, and it instilled in me my lifelong love and appreciation of live theater. So over the years its kind of become a thing, even though there is no regularity whatsoever to when we see it, nor do we actively seek out productions of it; we simply see the ones that […]

A few weeks ago, I purchased some Atelier Brunette fabric (purchased from Oak Fabrics), which I consider my “Treat Yo Self” fabric as it tends to be much pricier per yard than I generally like to pay for fabric. However, both times I have bought some, it has been so worth it. The quality of the fabric is amazing, and they just came out with a new collection. I thought I knew what I wanted to do with the fabric, […]
