A Couple of Recent Makes

AHHH, you guys!! Summer is flying by faster than I can handle right now!  Everything is good though :)  We signed my daughter up for summer camp to prepare her for kindergarten, she has been in preschool but just a couple times a week.  Summer camp was every day and boy did it tire her out!!  She really had a blast though.  We were also fortunate enough to have my mom come and stay for three whole weeks!!  It was amazing.  We did all sort of crafty things and mostly just hung out and talked.  It was the best!!

One of the things we sewed up was pj shorts for each of us.

I apologize for the crummy phone pic and lack of modeled photos lol.  They are both flamingo prints one is a Charley Harper double gauze (mom's) and the other is Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel cotton lawn (mine).  We used the Carolyn Pajama Pattern by Closet Case Files.  Everything sewed up super smoothly and they are so so comfy.  I may go up a size on my next pair just because I do like my pjs roomy (these fit perfectly fine though).

I also made this giant flower crown for my daughter just for fun :)

Hope you're all having a great summer :)

Happy (belated) New Year!!!

Hi friends!! I'm getting a slow start to the year yikes!  I ended last year having some thoughts, revelations, and maybe an identity crisis.  Well maybe not quite that dramatic.  Anyway, I kind of have a new plan and goals set out which is exciting and maybe a little bit scary.  I don't think I've ever mentioned anything here but my background is in art and graphic design.  I'm wanting to move more back in that direction.  I struggle a little because I do still want to sew my heart out and knit and basically all the things!! There's only so much time in each day though.

I will still be sewing probably mainly apparel.  I have kind of outlined what I'd like to focus on sewing this year.  I want to really make things that I wear so basics like t-shirts, jeans, bras and undies.  I'm also working on beefing up my design portfolio to get that out in the world (cross your fingers and toes!).

So, I had originally planned on posting this back in January but for some reason I never did.  My thoughts and goals are still the same and I've spent the last 6 months really focusing on design.  I have a portfolio that I am actively sending out :)  And . . . . I made a skillshare class!

You can find it here.  It's all about starting illustrations on the iPad pro in Adobe Draw and cleaning them up in Illustrator.  Right now skillshare is offering 2 free months when you sign up through that link too!

I have some sewing to share later on this week too!  My mom has been visiting for almost three weeks so we've been having fun and taking things slow :)

I hope you're having a great summer!!
