For every article of clothing I make, I like to see other sewists' versions of the same pattern. Since I will be making the Blackwood cardigan this month (and hopefully the Como!), I decided to look up the hashtag on the gram. As of last week, there were 3,752 posts on Instagram for the Blackwood … Continue reading SewMyStyle 2019: Cardigan Inspo, Hacks, and Fabrics

Sewing for Spring 2019
I've been preparing for the upcoming Flea Style market next month, and I am beginning to get excited for spring! Lo and I enjoy weekly picnics at the Dallas Arboretum with friends, visiting festivals as a family on the weekends, and going on daily walks around our neighborhood. This spring, we're hoping to walk around … Continue reading Sewing for Spring 2019
Sew January
If you're following me on Instagram, then you know I am in the middle of a deep purge throughout our home, especially in my sewing room. As a result, I've rediscovered a few fabrics and patterns in my stash, and I'm hoping to finish some old projects! To get started, I'm planning to make myself … Continue reading Sew January
Neco Drop Skirt
Have you been following along with Sew My Style on Instagram and Facebook? I want to participate more, but most of the patterns aren't something I would wear often or I already own a similar commercial pattern. (I am excited to get started on my True Bias Landers this month, though! I know, I'm a month … Continue reading Neco Drop Skirt
No Place Like Home Shift Dress
Growing up, one of my least favorite books (and especially the movie) was The Wizard of Oz, but when I saw this No Place Like Home Fabric(aff link) from Cloud 9 Fabrics, I couldn't resist ordering a few yards. I love how vivid the colors appear against the contrast of a black background. I decided … Continue reading No Place Like Home Shift Dress
Simplicity Tea Dress
I was at Hallmark earlier this month for a pop-up shop event, and one of the girls that works there remarked on May being the busiest month of the year. Y'all, she was right! Besides Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day celebrations, we have been invited to birthdays, graduations, and various other events throughout the … Continue reading Simplicity Tea Dress
AGF Summer Basics
The cooler temps have stuck around a tad longer than usual this spring, and I am loving it! Although, that also means I haven't worn my spring makes very much either. I've honestly never considered a wrap skirt for myself in the past, but after a few students requested a wrap skirt class, I began … Continue reading AGF Summer Basics
McCall’s All That Glitters Wrap Dress
I finished my Anthro inspired wrap dress for my spring capsule this weekend, and it's love, ya'll. I initially planned on using a similar lightweight denim, but I couldn't resist those small metallic squares! I love the bit of sparkle they add to an otherwise simple wrap dress. I made the size 8, which calls for … Continue reading McCall’s All That Glitters Wrap Dress
Spring 2018 Inspiration
February has been full of deadlines and getting over flare-ups, stomach bugs, and trying to settle back into a routine after an extra long holiday break. As a result, sewing has taken a bit of a back seat this month, except for finally finishing Jon's quilt top and prepping for the upcoming Flea Style Dallas … Continue reading Spring 2018 Inspiration
