    Here’s my latest project! It’s an art quilt I Here’s my latest project! It’s an art quilt I made for The New Beehive exhibit. This one was a pretty fun process because I applied with a proposal, was accepted and paid in advance, and then got to create a custom piece of art for the show. It was very fun for me to use my art background, combine it with my love of embroidery, and use conceptual images from motherhood to make something new. And yes, quilts are art! So is embroidery. Happy to debate this at length. 😊 The exhibition will be on view at the Salt Lake City Community College (SLCC) Eccle's Gallery at the South City Campus from July 8 – September 3. I will be at the Artists reception on Thursday, August 12th, 5 – 8 pm. It's open to the public, so feel free to come! For those of you that won't be able to view the exhibition in person, there is a digital exhibition that includes all 30 works that I’ve linked in my profile. @chasehomemuseum @utahvisualarts #NewBeehive #artistsofutah
    I finished my night sky quilt! It was a gift to my I finished my night sky quilt! It was a gift to my brother and sister-in-law expecting a baby anytime now. They love camping and the baby’s gender is a surprise so I chose to make this design as a gender neutral option. The pattern had some ideas for machine quilting, but like usual, I went for the hand quilting route. I had to search high and low to find thick threads to match each color. I resorted to using a few top stitching threads from @saltlakesewciety. The fabrics were purchased from @saltcityquiltingco and they carry every shade of Kona solids! And both these shops are local to me. 🙌🏻 Woot woot. I loved making this quilt, especially thinking about my new niece or nephew wrapped up in it. ❤️👼🏼 Pattern purchased on @etsy from @skycladquilts
    I loved the #RemyRaglan I made last week so much t I loved the #RemyRaglan I made last week so much that I made another this weekend! It came together crazy fast because I used my serger instead of French seams. This fabric is chiffon so I probably should have waited to stitch until I bought a microtex needle but I didn’t want to wait. 😂 So there’s some weird pulling and I probably should have ironed more. But my motto is “done is better than perfect!” Make sure to swipe so you can see the darling illustration detail on this fabric. 😍 Fabric: chiffon from @joann_stores Pattern: #RemyRaglan size 12, version 1, by @sewhouse7
    I made a swimsuit! Y’all know I’ve been pretty I made a swimsuit! Y’all know I’ve been pretty excited about this. We escaped to the mountains this morning for a little family kayaking and these worked great. I have so many plans for my next swimsuit and swim shorts. I’m finding, as a new mom, that when it’s swimming time I usually only spend half the time actually getting wet. The rest of the time is spent gathering all the things, putting sunscreen on everyone (I put sunscreen on 6 humans in a 20 minute period this week! 😂), and cleaning up all the things! Especially when a baby is involved. So I’m loving the idea of these swim shorts that make it a bit more comfortable. And let me tell you, this pattern was EZPZ! No elastic necessary. Swim fabric: @designcofabrics Swim elastic and bra cups: @fabricfairy Top pattern design: @ginghamhive #midlineswimsuit Swim shirt design: @peekaboopatternshop (added about 5 inches of length)
    Fabric is gifted from @minervadotcom as part of th Fabric is gifted from @minervadotcom as part of the #minervaambassador program. I’m love love loving my new “playsuit.” I saw a clothing company make something similar to this 4 years ago and I loved it! But alas, it was out of stock and never came back. 4 years and it’s still on my mind, so I decided to recreate it! I used this gray polka dot rayon challis that is so so soft. I honestly might just keep these for pajama pants because they’re so dreamy to wear. First, I made the #bobpants. Size 18 with no modifications, but I do want to make the rise a little lower in the future. The top is the #remyraglan version 1, without the split neckline. I also omitted the folded sleeve because this fabric is not double sided and I wasn’t crazy about the wrong side being visible. It’s also a plus for me to have nearly elbow length sleeves because it’s less skin that needs sunscreen! I liked that the pattern included French seams instructions and I really like the neckline finish with bias tape. I prefer their method over other bias tape finishes I’ve learned. I made a size 12 and I graded to an 18 hip. But it hung quite odd, so I ending up trimming that off and just going with the 12 on the side seams. All in all, I’m really happy with this faux jumpsuit. I love that I can mix and match or wear these pieces together. #minervamakers #minervaambassador #minervamaker
    To my local friends! I wanted to gather my embroid To my local friends! I wanted to gather my embroidery students from the Utah Refugee Center for a playdate at the park to do some stitching and I’d love if any of you locals want to come! Bring whatever needlework project you are working on (embroidery, quilting, crochet, knitting, whatever!) and learn techniques from others. Even if you’re never stitched before, I’ll be doing some demonstrations if you’d like to watch and learn. We’ll plan to do this every 3rd Friday for the next few months while it’s warm outside. And if there’s still interest, we can move to the Utah Refugee Center in the winter months. Would love to meet some of my instagram friends if you’d like to join us!
    Made my first bob pants and I totally understand w Made my first bob pants and I totally understand why everyone loves these! I finished them up on Friday morning and put them on immediately. And they have so much ease, it was easy to get on the back of my husband’s motorcycle for date night! 🙌🏻 I made a size 18 with no modifications. Might be an odd choice for pants, but I’m using rayon challis from @minervadotcom. I have some rayon pajama pants that I absolutely love so I knew it would be fun to make more. I’m not crazy about the waistband instruction of these. You sew the elastic inside the waistband instead of making a casing. I can see how there’s advantages to this construction method, but it was pretty tricky trying to do it with rayon. And in the end, I didn’t feel like I had as much control of the gathers. I’ll probably do a standard waistband when I make these again. And I WILL definitely make these again. Probably in every fabric I own. I plan to make a matching shirt but haven’t had a chance yet. Too many projects, too little time! One another little note for my future self: I used a walking foot and a jersey needle and I think it really helped with how delicate and lightweight this fabric is. Pattern: #bobpants from @stylearc Fabric: polka dot rayon challis gifted from @minervadotcom
