Home — A Maker Heart

Hi.

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

When in Texas, cast on a new project with Texas hand-dyed yarn 💜 @lonestararts This is the Pure Joy Shawl by @jojilocat

We made shirts! We sewed @cashmerette Harrison Shirts or @tillybuttons Rosa Shirts. Everyone got a fitting consultation and assistance choosing their sizes as well as pattern adjustments. Then we cut, sewed, fit on the fly, and sewed some more! Two students are mostly done, some for very close, and a few have homework! But we had a great time. Thank you to our students who came (please tag yourselves or share this photo if you want) and thank you to @sewtospeak for your enthusiasm and beautiful work space. Let’s do it again soon! @havinsewmuchfun #letssewthistogether #harrisonshirt #sewingrosa #sewinglesson #sewingteacher

Have machine. Will travel! I’m headed to Day 2 of teaching my princess seam button down shirt class at @sewtospeak with @havinsewmuchfun. We made a weekend of it by staying in a nice hotel, going out for really food food, and meeting up with family and friends in Columbus. Today we are going to work really hard to get our students close to completion on their shirts 🙌🏻. Send good vibes to our class and if you are in Columbus, stop by the shop this afternoon to see all of the incredible spring fabrics in stock! #sewingteacher #sewingclasd #letssewthistogether #handmadewardrobe (I’m wearing a sleeveless #PhoenixBlouse by @heyjunehandmade in Brussels Washer linen.) #heyjunejune19

In honor of #HeyJuneJune19 I bring you Sanibel Kendrick mashup! I knew I wanted to make a romper of some sort but wanted something that I could wear past summer since warm weather lasts a while here in Virginia. So the thought came to use the Kendrick pant pattern pieces with the Sanibel top and honestly I don't know how I did 🙄 How did I do? Would you wear something like this?

I knit the #CoastalWalkShawl by @jojilocat as a gift for my mom. I started it around her birthday in March and gave it to her as a Mother’s Day gift. Gift knitting is so such a precious experience for me. Every single stitch I’m thinking of the intended recipient, flowing love into the yarn through my fingertips. I learned how to read a lace chart and thoroughly enjoyed knitting with this @malabrigoyarn. I will try to get some snaps of it as a finished object and put it on my blog soon. But isn’t this evening light amazing? This was taken when I wet blocked it a few weeks ago. #knitting #knitsandsews #knittersofinstagram #shawlknitting
