Hi.

Enjoy browsing around the blog. Feel free to leave a comment or ask a question!

Checking in for #selflesssewingseptember: a Phoenix Blouse for my oldest. She’s student teaching in an unairconditioned third floor classroom and it’s HOT. Stylish sleeveless linen tops are the only reasonable option. I made her a Phoenix Blouse out of a floral linen blend this summer and she wears it often. She’s petite so I did the cropped version. Swipe 👉🏻 to see the inside and my beautiful floral batiste facings and bias tape 😍. Made with love for my only girl! Pattern is #PhoenixBlouse by @heyjunehandmade. Blue linen blend fabric is from @alyssa_may_design. Floral facing is from @makermountainfabrics. Crochet knit overlay is from @joann_stores. Stash busting, y’all! This also qualified for #sewmystyle2019 for September’s “tops” month. SIDE NOTE: Any teachers have pattern recommendations for a petite, fabulous, millennial primary teacher? I’m really enjoying sewing for her these days!

It’s Friday and we can SEW all weekend! Well, in a perfect world we could! You could come sew with me all weekend Oct 12 & we at @sewtospeak! I know we can complete our Orchid Midi dresses in 2 days! Registration and details are on the @sewtospeak website under WORKSHOPS. In the meantime...what are you sewing this weekend? I’m hoping to cut out 2 @heyjunehandmade #PhoenixBlouse tops.

THIS is how you wear the Orchid Midi! Everyone can look this classically cool and stylish! I’m teaching this workshop at @sewtospeak on October 12 & 13! Come sew with me 🤗. *******#Repost @sewtospeak

Two great classes being offered in October. The Orchid Midi Dress, taught by Jennifer Gavic from A Makers Heart Oct 12th and 13th. The Wiksten Shift taught by Jewell on Oct. 19th. Both classes are perfect for beginner garment makers. #orchidmididress #chalkandnotch #amakerheart #wikstenshiftdress

One mitten is somehow...smaller. Do I rip it the smaller one back to the ribbing and knit it again? 🤔 #knittingmittens #freeknittingpattern #coffeeshopknitting #Fixyourknits

So, so excited for my Orchid Midi Dress class at @sewtospeak on October 12 & 13. It’s a 2 day, 8 hour workshop with ME helping YOU make the best fitting dress and most beautiful dress. The registration link is live on the @sewtospeak website. I’d love to have you in my class 💕 #orchidmididress #orchidmidipattern #sewingclass #sewingteacher #sewingworkshop #ohiosews #columbussews #daytonsews #cincinnatisews #clevelandsews #sewwithme #artgalleryrayon #artgalleryfabrics #artgalleryfabric

Sample done for my next class @sewtospeak. Sending this off to be displayed in store. Want to sew your DREAM dress for the holidays? The @chalkandnotch Orchid Midi Dress is it. I can’t wait to get my syllabus prepped and the class on the website because this is going to be the perfect dress for any event this fall and winter. 💕 #sewingteacher #ohiosews #letssewthistogether
