When the Sew Liberated Nest Sweatshirt came out, I scooped it up super fast. Of course, actual sewing didn’t happen on super fast timelines. That Chronic Illness Life definitely slows down wants. I had two dresses from my pile of clothes to remake using the fabric that I thought were perfect for this pattern. The … More Sew Liberated Nest Sweatshirt
Rather than talk about why I have been absent from blogging pretty much over the pandemic, I am just going to be sharing a few things I have made lately. I am not sure about making a post on my absence. It would be a long one about all the nuances and sadnesses of being … More Refashioning Projects
Hello everyone! I’m super happy to be back and with something amazing! First off, move update. I am now in Ottawa! Ottawa is built on un-ceded Algonquin Anishinabe territory.

The Friday Pattern Company Sagebrush top is a puffed sleeve top with a keyhole/tie back and a ruffle on the front yoke. I’ve seen so many cute versions and I can’t resist a puffed sleeve or a ruffle. I decided to create a wearable muslin to see if I needed to make any fit changes. … More Friday Pattern Company Sage Brush Top
I’ve been obsessed with the Huon shirt and dress from Muna and Broad since it came out. I’ve made a couple of versions of the Seamwork Jo shirt and it sort of has similar vibes, but the long sleeves on the Huon are what draw me in. I just love them! I chose to … More Muna and Broad Huon Shirt

Seamwork Natalie is a button-up shirt with a relaxed fit and notched collar. Before the Waikerie shirt came out, this was high on my list of shirts to sew. If I hadn’t already downloaded and printed the pattern, I probably would have returned it (something you can do with Seamwork – very useful for me … More Seamwork Natalie and Jo redux
Disclaimer: I tested this pattern but my opinions are always my own (unless you want to buy me a house somewhere tropical, pay off my debt, and give me a yearly allowance of 300K then you can definitely have my opinion). The Sew House 7 Free Range Slacks have been out for a while, but … More Sew House 7 Free Range Slacks and Handmade Christmas projects
My health is still pretty tenuous so these catch up blogs aren’t moving as swiftly as I hoped. I decided to combine a few of them and all of these ones are in the some shade of purple fabric so I figured, Hey Purple party! LOL. Seamwork Brit (Bonus) This one is my second time … More Purple Party
It’s been a rough time for me from my last post in August. My migraines got way way worse causing me to take medical leave from work at the beginning of October. October was probably the toughest month for me because my symptoms got worse. My physiotherapist described some of the cognitive effects of this … More Update and Seamwork Jo
