See you out there today, friends!

Little bit of lace! I definitely feel my creativity spike in the spring weather, nothing more inspiring for me. 🥰

New dress with smocking and lots of hand stitching. Love how this all came together. Spring!

What a tablecloth can become!

Trying new styles! Like this corset top, the tulip top. #garmentsewing

Flowers before maybe the last rain of the season!

Rue Quilt coat for my daughter, using an overdyed thrift store quilt. She loves it. #garmentsewing #sewingforkids

Adventures in piping! Love the yellow pops on this latest make. #garmentsewing

New nightshirt! Two of my old nightshirts have outlived their fabric life, so it was time to sew up a new one. I used the Merchant and Mills Niven pattern, slightly shortened and added some ruffles. I slept in it last night and it was perfect for me. #garmentsewing

New top! I’m working out an idea and this is my wearable muslin. Loving it styled with jeans. This has so many details, can you believe I’m going to add even more to the next? I love the piping detail so much, see more of it in the future! #sewing #garmentsewing

New Scallop Hem pants. This wool/silk suiting is so luxe. I’m ready to lounge in these all day. 💋

Volume, texture and twirl! Love this combo. The little boxy belt-bow and all those scallops. #sewing #garmentsewing #fabricmanipulation

Beyond delighted with how this smocked top turned out! #sewing #garmentsewing #handsmocked

Very excited for my latest smocking project! #sewing #garmentsewing #handsewing

Another scallop ruffle hem skirt!! I learned a lot on this version and see at least one more in my future as I perfect my method. #sewing #garmentsewing

New #bajabarnjacket . I dyed the outer (it’s an Indian cut work quilt) and lined in Liberty. Very springy! #sewing

New blouse, a mashup of #mmflorence with sleeves from #sakenniewovenshirt , in a lovely linen. Breaks my “I don’t wear black rule,” but aren’t polka dots always the exception? #sewing

Lemon harvest never ends, what could be better?

California spring days on the horizon, hello freesia!
