There’s this top I made myself before our trip. There are three tea towels that I dyed almost a month ago. And there’s yarn that I finished spinning a week ago. None of these things felt like it required its…

Liesl + Co Breezy Blouse
I’ve been taking the time to sew more lately and I’ve been trying to sew up my fabric stash. I’ve been wanting simple, easy to wear patterns that will work with what I have. So when the Liesl + Co…

Just Pretend It Isn’t Rumpled, Okay?
I’d been wearing it all day by the time we got around to taking pictures… This is the dress I made for Mamie’s 100th birthday party. I don’t tend to make mommy and me outfits but my girls love coordinating…
