The week before our Denmark vacation, I had the sudden urge to make a bag for my MIL, but it quickly turned in to a “if you give a mouse a cookie” situation. Because if I made one for my mother-in-law (MIL) I also needed to make one for my sister-in-law (SIL) who was having a birthday at the end … Continue reading “Made Belt Bag”
Hello! We recently got back from our weeklong summer vacation in Denmark, and I thought it would be fun to write a post about my favorite parts of the trip (wearing mostly me-made things!). It was so much fun and luckily everyone stayed healthy the whole time. I’m always nervous that someone is going to catch something along the way. … Continue reading “Denmark Summer Vacation”
I’ve had this saved to my drafts for way too long, so it’s now or never! But I love it so much, and here it is. I’m excited to finally share about my Sewlala Neve Tee! I made the sweater version last year, and I love the fit. The pattern is so versatile, and I’m hoping to make the zip-up … Continue reading “Sewlala Neve Tee”

If you have bought a Sewlala pattern in the past, you can email Anna at … Continue reading “Sewlala Roxie Tee”
This bag was a very spontaneous make from a few of weeks ago. We eat lunch at a brunch cafe nearby, and one of the employees who works there was always so nice, and we’ve chatted a few times. Then, on one of the days we went, she said the next day would be her last day because she was … Continue reading “Drawstring Tote – Wholecloth”
I’m so excited to share my most recent work of art and to share the new Clara Shorts pattern by my friend Susana of Suco by Susana. I know she has put so much work into this pattern, and I was so glad that I could help test the pattern. Susana is Portuguese, and you can buy her patterns in … Continue reading “Clara Shorts – Suco by Susana”
I got an email from my daughters school about a month before school was over saying that she needed a grey tutu and a grey shirt for the school’s end-of-year recital. (I guessed she was going to be an elephant, and I was correct.) The parents in the class sent messages that it was actually pretty impossible to find a … Continue reading “Lemon Tee & a Tutu”
We are at the tail end of a heatwave here in Portugal, and last week was kind of a doozy. But luckily, I made so many nice tank tops over the past few months and was prepared! I always feel weird making a whole new blog post for patterns that I’ve already made, so this is a round-up of tank … Continue reading “Inevitable Repeats: Tank Tops”
This isn’t the first time I’ve shown off my new Elbe Textiles Weiland Tank, but this is the official blog post for it! I wasn’t really sure about it when I first finished it and tried it on, but I’ve already worn it multiple times, and it’s so comfortable and nice to wear. I originally planned to wear it with … Continue reading “Weiland Tank – Elbe Textiles”
It’s a lot warmer here in the Lisbon area, and it made me realize that I need to blog about this cardigan before it’s completely unseasonal. Although, I think we’re already to that point. I have been sewing a lot of Sewlala patterns lately because I have been testing her patterns, and I’ve really like them! The Paula Top & … Continue reading “Sewlala – Paula Cardigan”
