I love this jacket! This is the reverse of the #HomebodyQuiltedJacket (Matchy Matchy Sewing Club) that I posted earlier. I covered all of the inside seams with matching bias tape and it was so worth it. I'm also wearing another beloved #WoolforkPattern dress by @jaqcieslak.bsky.social

I love layering, especially with a combo this comfy. I do wish summer would arrive, but I'll take cozy for now!

The #HorizonDayDress pattern from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club is one of my favorites! This patchwork version, made of remnants from other garments, brings me so much joy. My birthday was yesterday, so I'm celebrating with color! If this is what 40 looks like, it feels pretty great! 🌈

Thank you! I love a bit of #historybounding ✨

This vest is the #STSideTieTop by Steph Time. I used remnants and, with a good bit of piecing, I had just enough. I also added simple button plackets and they worked out great!

This dress is made from a vintage cut-and-sew panel, altered to fit and tie at the sides. The company that created the panel was called Daisy Kingdom and they closed in the 90s. I just love their prints!

I'm also wearing another #WoolforkPattern top, I wear this one under dresses a lot!

Thank you!

I love that cotton, I've used a similar fabric in navy blue!

Crocheting is really fun once you get the hang of it!

Thank you!

Thank you! 😍

Today I wore another #WoolforkPattern from @jaqcieslak.bsky.social. I just love this pattern and it's great for beginners! For the sweater, I didn't use a pattern, I basically just crocheted granny squares together until it fit and added a knit collar and cuffs. It was a fun project!

I loved making this jacket! It was a great way to showcase some English paper piecing, as well as using leftovers from other projects.

I'm sharing some of my daily outfits for #MeMadeMay!

Today, I am wearing one of my favorite dresses. The pattern was a vintage Laura Ashley pattern that I sized up. I'm also wearing a #WoolforkPattern top that I made out of upcycled fabric. I even made my necklaces and a matching bracelet!

Soap, for sure.
