  • Thanks to everyone for the fabulous encouragement on my last post. I’m so glad to know I’m not alone in my time chicken adventures 🤣. i got everything done before a soccer tournament EXCEPT the hem! It’s ALWAYS the hem, isn’t it?! 😓 I did, however, finish my #fringetop from @chalkandnotch in this fabulous striped rayon from @shoplamercerie . I knew i needed something in this fabric after seeing what @therealalexisbailey made with it. It’s going to be the perfect top for socializing this fall. I’m loving it with my #gingerjeans (of course!). .

  • Question is: Can I finish this #fringetop before the all-day soccer tournament. It’s a thrilling game of time chicken. 🤣

  • Our family is enjoying a relaxing trip to Cape Cod soaking up the very last days of summer. 🌞
The stormy cool beach weather ⛅️gave me the perfect excuse to wear my very first Wiksten Haori jacket! It’s like wearing a jacket that’s actually a blanket and I never want to be without it! Can a jacket be a lovey? ✨
Outside fabric is a navy/peach jacquard fabric that I nabbed right before it sold out (I think it was from @shoplamercerie ? Or possibly @threadbarefabrics ? I forget.) I lined it with natural linen . I got the pattern from @makingzine and it was a breeze to stitch.
  • I’ve lusted after the @sewhouse7 Bridgetown Dress for a while and finally stitched up up for my @indie_sew post this month as part of the blogger team! This luscious teal palm fabric in rayon challis makes it extra beach-ready. Check out my blog for views of the sexy back...it’s really what makes this pattern special. ahappystitch.com
Also, I’m accidentally doing the #justtouchyourhair thing 🤣 and #memadesinnature so @katiekortmanart and @victorialucilleanne really have their fingers on the pulse!

  • Finished up my THIRD pair of #gingerjeans from @closetcase.patterns yesterday. In my stories I call them “boring” but what I really mean is classic. They are replacing a pair of disintegrating black jeans I got in a clothing swap. I will wear them so much! Also, to jazz them up AND be braggadocious about my handmade clothing I put a @kylieandthemachine tag from @stitchsewshop on the OUTSIDE. Damn straight. The world should know about the magic of sewing! ✨

  • The stress of looking for a new shoe sole supplier has driven me to immersive, obsessive crafting! 🤣 I’m starting with a deep dive into @annajoycedesign ‘s book HAND DYED. This ice-dyed rope bowl is the result. Suffice to say I’m in LOVE! Check out my blog for details. 💜

  • I’m having a blast in the D.C. area this weekend teaching three different espadrilles workshops. So many fabulous shoe-makers ! Look at these incredible creations at the @dhfabricsandco pop-up workshop today! More details in my stories ❤️ And Tammy is wearing her handmade wedges AND I’m wearing my #landerpants in @dhfabricsandco Twill!! It’s true love!💋

  • Feeling so inspired and impressed by the power of making after a trip to see @cauchycomplete ‘s COTTONING ON exhibit in Easton, PA this afternoon. Her quilts are soft and loving and full of challenging text. It was mind-blowing to see them in person. Thank @melintheattic for bringing me along! ❤️ ✨
Acts of making can be revolutionary and Chawne is showing us all what that means! PA/NJ people do not miss this show! ✂️💕💜

  • Oh, hey there. 💥💋
Just sliding into this wall to show off my fabulous new #ferntop from @patternscout 🍃 in stunning ikat from @stonemountainfabric .
I modified this to have an exaggerated boatneck and eliminated the sleeve to center front seam for a relaxed everyday top. Paired with my #gingerjeans from @closetcase.patterns I’m feeling pretty proud. Love when my everyday wear is HANDMADE! 🥰
