Hi, Friends! Long time no talk over here on the blog, I hope you have been following me on Instagram where I have been sharing my adventures recently.

Sew Liberated Hinterland Dress
It's my turn to post on the Curvy Sewing Collective blog this week and I was going to post about my self drafted ski pants, but I couldn't muster the energy for that epic post. Hopefully soon! So I was brainstorming about what projects I finished recently and hadn't talked about and I remembered the… Continue reading Sew Liberated Hinterland Dress
Helen’s Closet Blackwood Cardigan
Hi, friends! I'm here today to share another very old project with you, this Helen's Closet Blackwood Cardigan!

Real talk here- I just don't wear dresses without something under them anymore. Its not… Continue reading Seamwork Kaye Set: Bralette and Shorts
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
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
