THEY CAN’T ALL BE WINNERS
I am excited to report that I have made quite a bunch of successful projects this #sewingsummer, and there are many things I am really happy with and I know I will wear many times. Then there are a few things that, even though I learned valuable bits of #sewingwisdom from them, they are sort of “flops.”
Here we also have a literal flop with my #serpentinehat that came out way, way too big. I even made a couple of tucks in the back, but it is still not my size. I hope to make this pattern again some day, two sizes smaller, and with some interfacing between the brim layers.
But on the plus side, I finally made a pair of #persephoneshorts from my salvaged twill yardage (that I used for a pair of #landerpants, and I still have enough for something else!) I sewed these shorts in the original fabric color (like a butter yellow) as sort of an experiment and some sewing practice. I liked the shorts so much that I decided to dye them a rust color, and I am really happy with them. The bottom photos are a collage of inspiration photos I found for color reference beforehand. But I will likely put them away for next summer, and the hat will have go to someone else.

Nine years ago today (on Mother's Day) I became a mama. I celebrated by turning my mauve #landerpants into #landershorts! Woot! I have shorts on the brain. What are your favorite patterns? #mmmay18

Knitting friends, I need your help! I've completed the body of my #alyeskasweater (cropped, as usual!) and I'm onto the sleeves. My issue is this; I'm new to colorwork, and using double-pointed needles seems beyond overwhelming. 😨 Should I learn magic loop? Is there any way to knit both sleeves at the same time on a top-down sweater? I feel like I'm busting through long-held mental plateaus with this project ... and oh my, it's not even done and I am completely enamored, imperfections and all. (Worn with my #landerpants by @truebias in Brick Brown Ventana twill.)

Day 9, #winter10x10: I had zero clue that my black silk #matchatoppattern could be worn unhooked and tied at the front to look like a button-down shirt! And I'm the designer! 🙈 I really recommend this wardrobe challenge just to see how versatile the clothes you already own can truly be. I have a smallish wardrobe to begin with, but this exercise has me reflecting on how I can slow down my making even more, to find the sweet spot between creating with my hands (sewing) and creating with my brain (making up outfits from what I already own + that make me feel expressive + empowered.) Food for thought. Wearing: Matcha Top - pattern available in my shop, @aceandjig top (reversed), #landerpants - pattern by @truebias. #slowfashion #sewingisselfcare #sustainablefasion #stylebee10x10 #10x10friends

Knits upon knits upon #gemmatank upon #landerpants. My #featherweightcardigan holds memories of my children building drip castles at the beach. My #tegnasweater conjures up squeals of delight as we drove through a very long tunnel. The scarf I wear on my head brings me back 17 years, walking along the Seine, when my hubby and I were exchange students in France. Making your clothing is not just an act of utility - it is the art of moments, woven together with fiber. 🖤 Tap on photo for pattern designers. #slowfashion #sewingisselfcare

It's been a long time since I felt like a goddess wearing pants. Growing three children changed my body quite a bit, and wearing mid- or low-rise jeans just made me feel like I had a perpetual muffin top, plus they just didn't stay up. It's why I love wearing dresses so much! But making these #landerpants reaffirmed that it's NOT my body that's the problem, it's the PANTS! These Landers hug my curves, sit at my natural waist, and the wide leg shape make my legs feel a mile long. (I'm only 5' 3"!) If you've been wanting to make pants but have shyed away because they seem complicated, this is a phenomenally written and drafted pattern that will hold your hand along the way. 🖤 #landerpant #sewingisselfcare (Fabric is Brick Brown Ventana Twill from @fancytigercrafts.)

Day 3, #winter10x10: I don't believe I've shown you my other pair of #landerpants by @truebias in plum Ventana Twill. They made the cut for the wardrobe challenge, of course. High-waisted pants for the comfortable win! Worn here with my striped #stasiadress tee, thrifted belt (legit 70's, I do believe!), purple headscarf and a new favorite adjustable length necklace from @haitidesignco. I've had to change my shoes up due to some uncomfortable achilles tendonitis. I need something with a little heel - my fair trade (local for me) @therootcollective booties fit the bill. PSA: Only wear your favorite clothes - the ones that put you in touch with your inner beauty and strengh. Doesn't fit? Put it in a box in storage. Makes you feel guilty ... an item from a shopping binge that holds no warm memories of treasured moments? Bring it to a local women's shelter. Needs mending or slight alterations? Start by repairing/altering a few minutes today. Wrong color for you? If it's a natural fiber, try out dyeing with plants or cutting it up to make a scrap quilt for a loved one.There are so many options other than keeping your less-than-favorites languishing in your closet. YOU DESERVE TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR BODY RIGHT NOW. Not when you lose ten pounds. Now go and listen to the @lovetosew.podcast "Sewing Makes You Love Yourself" episode. 🖤✂✨✊🏼 #10x10friends #stylebee10x10 #handmade10x10

On a whim, I've decided to participate in the #winter10x10 wardrobe challenge hosted by @leevosburgh. The idea is this - pick 10 items in your closet (including shoes but not including accessories) and style them into 10 different outfits over 10 days. I'm not of the belief that capsule wardrobes are a necessity, but I do like to get creative with what is already in my closet ... and know what to pack on vacation. 😉 My items contain a good bit of color compared to other capsule wardrobes, and I can't wait to play with that. Of course, a good bit of my items will be handmade. Care to join me? Use the hashtag #handmade10×10. Wearing: the other side of my most recent #metamorphicdress, my #stasiadress (tee) pattern, and my #landerpants by @truebias.
