Sometimes I Make Things. Sometimes I Share Them.

I’m back with another round of #sewfancypants fabric picks.

Hello! After posting regularly during January, it feels like it’s been a minute. I cut these Sew House Seven Free Range Slacks during the last week of Sew Fancy Pants, sewed them the following week, and finally got them photographed last week. There’s been an ebb and flow to my sewing practice as of late. …
Hello! I promise that I’ll eventually stop mentioning our recent trip to Disneyland but, it might take a bit. This was the longest and biggest vacation I’ve been on since moving out of my parent’s house after graduating from high school. Taking my son to a place where he kept mentioning, “This is a child’s …
