When the Seamwork Kaye set was first released, it caught my eye as a good option to make some shorts to wear under dresses when it gets too hot for leggings (and were are officially there here in New Mexico). Real talk here- I just don't wear dresses without something under them anymore. Its not… Continue reading Seamwork Kaye Set: Bralette and Shorts
Me Made May: The Wrap Up
I suffered from a little Me Made May fatigue at the end of the month, but I'm finally back with the wrap up. First... the final outfits! I didn't capture all of the repeats, but I think you'll get the gist of how my everyday wardrobe comes together. On day 15, here I am wearing… Continue reading Me Made May: The Wrap Up
Sew Liberated Arenite Pants
Now that I've finally worn the wearable muslin of my Sew Liberated Arenite Pants, its time to blog them! These weren't without their challenges, but I ended up with some fun pants and know what I need to do next time to improve the fit. Meg teased this pants pattern on Instagram for what seemed… Continue reading Sew Liberated Arenite Pants

Me Made May ’18: The First Half
Are you sick of Me Made May yet? No? Good, me either. I really love seeing how everyone wears their clothes everyday even though it takes me four times as long to scroll through my instagram feed 😉 In case, like me, you forgot what my pledge was, here it is again: I, Megan of… Continue reading Me Made May ’18: The First Half
Tutorial: Sewing a Gusset with a Serger (and another pair of Avery Leggings)
Hi Friends! Today I'm sharing a quick tutorial with you about how to sew a gusset completely on the serger. I don't know about you, but I typically avoid sewing knits with my regular machine at all costs. I find sewing a crotch gusset with a sewing machine especially revolting because (a) all that extra… Continue reading Tutorial: Sewing a Gusset with a Serger (and another pair of Avery Leggings)
(Another) Dixie DIY Summer Concert Tee
I can hardly believe that one of the last finished projects I posted before my blogging hiatus started FOUR years ago was a summer concert tee that I am still wearing almost weekly, so clearly it was high time to make another! This is such a fun and quick tee pattern, with lots of room… Continue reading (Another) Dixie DIY Summer Concert Tee
Three Pairs of Cashmerette Ames Jeans
This post first appeared on the Curvy Sewing Collective's website. In case you haven't heard, I'm a new editor! Yay! I have been dying to jump on the jeans sewing bandwagon for a couple of years now, but I kept dragging my feet because none of the options out there seemed quite right. I would… Continue reading Three Pairs of Cashmerette Ames Jeans
Two Helen’s Closet Avery Leggings
Hi, sewing friends! Here are my first two pairs of Avery Leggings from Helen's Closet, the first two of many, I'm sure. I love them both and at least one pair gets worn nearly every day. My first pair was made in a (guess what?) double brushed poly from Imagine Gnats. I don't think I… Continue reading Two Helen’s Closet Avery Leggings
Sew Liberated Stasia Dress
This is my first make from Sew Liberated, but it won't be my last! I remember checking them out when I first started sewing but I didn't fit in their size range. However, at some point when I wasn't looking, Sew Liberated expanded their size range! Â As far as indie patterns go, they are doing… Continue reading Sew Liberated Stasia Dress
