A lot of reptile with these two silk fabrics from @moodfabrics My dress was made using @burda_style 6442. I added 10" to the width of the sleeve and removed the back slit. Chandler's dress was drafted. I had every intention on making something for myself with the fabric I used for her dress, but how dare I not make something for her 🤔 #mommyandme #diyfashion #sewing #designer
Yesterday was Chandler’s first day as a “big girl” and she was absolutely ready! It was important for me to carve out her own space that wasn’t in my studio, but close enough so that I could hear if she needed my help. I gave the walls a fresh coat of paint and instead of painting an accent wall, I decided on a colorful design which gave it a fresh updated pop of color. I used this washi tape which was only $15.00 for two and the whole process took less than 30 minutes.
#Diy shades of Gray! Chandler calls this her "uniform" This fabric was purchased last year from @gstreetfabrics I have zero idea of the composition but it's adorable. Probably more appropriate for her but 🤷🏾♀️. My coat: #selfmade using Vogue V8862 view C with the following alterations: -Removed 1.5" from the top of the collar. -Removed the scene from the top of pattern piece number 9 and bottom of pattern piece number one. -Added 3" to the length -Added side seam pockets -Used two layers of interfacing in the collar which will create a very structured oversized collar. Fabric used was a Rag & Bone wool from Mood #310146 Skirt- self drafted Blazer- Vogue V8887 with pattern alterations Chandler's dress and coat: Self drafted Coat was made using neoprene from Mood and lined with a white denim.
It’s one of those perfectly easy to wear dresses cute enough for a date night and comfy enough for Saturday errands. And this medium weight extra drapey crepe fabric from G Street Fabric is divine. Mccalls M6961 view A with the following alterations: -Used only the bodice -Added 2″ to the length of the bodice The skirt was made with McCall’s M6024 view C with the following alterations:
Pattern drop! So everytime I make a pattern, the number one request is Do you have a print shop version? Well I listened! This Kimono inspired duster comes available in both pdf printable at home and at a print shop. The body suit pattern will be dropping soon. 🕜 Never made lingerie? Check out @sewingmystyle and take a class. The link to the duster is in my bio. The pants were made with my McCall pants pattern M7443. The fabric used is from Mood Fabrics. The blue and tan is a silk Oscar de la Renta and the other black and tan is a silk Rag & Bone. #diyfashion #patternmaking #sewingpatterns #sewing #memade
When it comes to fabric, I’m typically drawn to solids. I’m still trying to decide what I plan to make with the others, but this dress was one I thought would be perfect. If you’ve never worked with Ankara, it’s a crisp thin fabric with a wax-like coating that sews, cuts and irons like a dream. So when I see these elaborate tight fitting Ankara dresses, I’m really in awe.
I grew up in a home where my mom cooked dinner every day except Friday and Saturday. Fridays and Saturdays were usually "special nights" where we ordered in or pretty much ate whatever we wanted. Many years later I have my own special people to cook for and sometimes Chandler's plus one AKA BFF. And that Friday night ritual hasn't changed much. Only difference is, I call on @bobevansfarms to help me out. Their family meals to go keep us fed the entire weekend. These three course fresh and convenient homestyle meals are available for delivery or curbside using the Bob Evans app. Everyone is happy and I get to stay kitchen free all weekend. #FamilyMealsToGo #sponsored #bobevans #downonthefarm
They were either way too modern, way too short, way too flimsy or way too much glass and metal. When the 18″ pipes are in and flanges are attached, flip the cart right side up and screw in the flanges to the top of the middle shelf. After the middle board is attached, and the flanges are securely screwed in, screw in the 12″ tubes. Attach the top flanges, screw in the glassware rack on the bottom side of the top board and place the top board following the steps above.
The last few weeks, I've made a conscious effort to reduce my sugar intake and increase my protein. When I decided to take this on, my first thought was "what will I do when I'm having an extreme sugar craving"? So I stocked my pantry with a few of my favorites, including my beloved @krusteaz pancakes. This time I opted for the protein pancake mix, which is just as amazing as the original. I've eaten them every way you could imagine including these bite-sized PB&J protein pancake bites that last a good five minutes. Check out my Krusteaz highlight to see how I made these quick and easy snacks. #MakeKrusteaz #sponsored
