Hello Internet Friends! Welcome to 2022 where I share projects that I never blogged from 2021 😅 This project was a long time in sharing! I originally finished this jacket in late spring 2021, and then promptly hung it in my closet until the fall when the weather got colder….then didn’t get around to taking photos until post move into our new place and am only now getting around to using those photos for a post!

Hello Internet Friends!
Happy New Year Everyone even though it’s like mid January now lol! (Although with the way all the days have been kind of merging together I still kinda feel like Christmas was only a week ago…..) I had intended to write a few posts over my holiday break/vacation but, like most of others I think, I found that I just needed to recharge over the break via some well earned couch sitting with some light sewing and knitting after such a crazy year. But now I’m feeling a bit more recharged and ready to tackle a whole new year of making and blog writing! I thought I’d start the year off with the last two of my 2020 makes, a set fleece jackets/sweaters for myself and the fluffy blonde monster which were perfect for holiday break lounging / quick trips to the shops for essentials.

Hello Internet Friends!
Sweater weather is fast approaching, and while I honestly can’t wait (I have a ton of quarantine knits that I can’t wait to finally wear!) I want to also squeeze every last drop of the sunshine and nice weather before the rainy fall really starts! To help keep the summer vibes going I whipped up this summery Gilbert Top by Helen’s closet and another pair of Lander shorts (this time in a breathable linen) by True Bias patterns.

Hello Internet Friends!
Today I have another summery make! This is my Yvonne playsuit by Republic de Chiffon made in a fab ‘rock print’ from Mind the Maker. I bought this fabric wayyyy back in January and was of two minds as to which pattern to make from it, the Yvonne playsuit or the Ester Pants so I did a quick instagram poll on my stories and the playsuit was the winner! Making the playsuit also meant I could finally use the cute fox buttons I got a while back from Arrow Mountain. I love these buttons and I think they work really well with this pattern and print!

Hello Internet Friends!
Today I have a special treat of a make! My lovely Painted Circles Pensée Dress by Deer and Doe! If you’ve been following my Instagram you’ll have seen this dress on my lovely dress form, Zadie, way back in May. I had hopped for some good weather to finally wear it out but alas, due to a Vancouver ‘June-uary’ (when it’s June but it really feels like January because it’s so rainy) and a general covid lack of social events I never got a chance/excuse to wear it until recently.
