    I bought the last little bit of this dreamy grid d I bought the last little bit of this dreamy grid double gauze from @saltlakesewciety and had just enough to make this top. It’s the #seamworkbo. I really like the neckline and I think the sleeve cuffs are super fun. It’s a little shorter than I’m used to and I may size down next time so it’s not so wide. But I’m liking this breezy, lightweight top for the summer. Shockingly enough, I’ve never used double fold bias tape to finish a neckline yet. I might dye this in the future, so I wanted to make sure to use the same fabric as the top for the bias tape. So I bought a bias tape maker and it was very fun to use, but working with double gauze bias tape is very fiddly. Will probably never do that again. 😂 But the bias tape maker was fun! I’ll put a few pics in my stories if you’re unfamiliar with it.
    I’ve been so impressed with my embroidery studen I’ve been so impressed with my embroidery students at the Utah Refugee Center. They’ve surpassed all my goals and expectations for the beginner class. So I quickly designed this little heart so they could have a more advanced design to work on. It has all my favorite stitches and colors!
    First I made myself this shirt. Then I made my old First I made myself this shirt. Then I made my older son a shirt out of the scraps. When I realized I still had more scraps, I made one for the baby. It’s been fun and we love wearing them all together. Then my husband said he wanted to join in on the fun. I said, “You’re sure you’ll want to wear a cloud shirt that matches everyone in your family?” He said, “Definitely. I’m comfortable with who I am.” So now we all match. 😊❤️ Patterns: mine is a hacked #scouttee and all the boys were free from DIBY club Fabric: knit from @joann_stores
    I’m so excited about this baby quilt! My darling I’m so excited about this baby quilt! My darling friend is expecting and I wanted to make her a little quilt for her new baby. I picked a random selection of solid colors at my local fabric store, @nuttallssewingcenters. Then I cut them into blocks and sewed around the perimeter and cut on diagonals to make 4 half square triangles in one go. I played around with the layout (the funnest part for me) and ended up with this random assortment. I used this dreamy Robert Kauffman flannel (gifted from @minervadotcom) for the backing. I love the two tone color in this beautiful shade of blue and it is so so soft. I chose to hand quilt it with white pearle cotton thread so the back would have a design just as much as the front- I’m a big fan of reversible! I loved it so much, I used the extra bits I had for the binding so that baby will be extra warm when he snuggles with it. This was a first for me, but I opted to do big stitch to close the binding. I always do my binding by hand but it’s usually little invisible stitches, so this was a fun change and a bit faster.
    🎵 Miracles happen once in a while if you believ 🎵 Miracles happen once in a while if you believe...🎶 (thank you princess diaries soundtrack) I made a swimsuit! It was tough but I’m tougher! I learned a lot and it was a long process because I cut out my fabric and the lining but kept having issues with my serger and trying to do a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine. So I gave up and took both machines in to the shop. Now that I have a new serger and my machine is all tuned up, I tackled it again. If you’re new to swimsuits like me, here’s a little explanation of the process: you have to finish all your edges and use a lining if you’d like and then wrap everything in swim elastic and finish it off with a twin needle or zig zag stitch. I was planning to do the shelf bra attached to the inside but got lazy and ended up just adding foam cups to the lining. I also made the straps a little thinner. The hardest thing was probably figuring out the elastic and fitting of the bottoms, but I did it! Loved doing tons of twin needle top stitching. And I’ve already bought another swimsuit pattern and fabric, so I’m into it! I haven’t worn it yet and I’m undecided if I’ll share a photo of me wearing it. Makes me nervous! 😆 Pattern: #midlineswimsuit from @ginghamhive (also lives in UTAH! 🙌🏻 Gotta support the local talent!) Sizing: Top is Large graded to XL at waist. Bottom is 1x grade to 3x at thigh with significant trimming around the crotch Fabric: dead stock swim Lycra from @designcofabrics
    Last day of #MeMadeMay woot woot! Pattern: #fring Last day of #MeMadeMay woot woot! Pattern: #fringedresspattern by @chalkandnotch Fabric: @rubystarsociety cotton sateen Rise by @missmelodymiller There’s been a lot of talk in the apparel sewing world about fat inclusivity this month. I’ve seen a lot of fun patterns on this app. But then I’ll look them up and be disheartened when I realize I wouldn’t fit in the sizing. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about weight. I’m bigger than I used it be, but I don’t think that diets are a great idea. They affect my mental health substantially, and the restriction concepts always bums me out. My therapist recommended the book “Health at Every Size.” I read it and it’s been fascinating to learn about diet culture and the way our bodies have evolved to gain weight, but not necessarily lose weight. I love food. Eating it, making it, talking about it, planning it. It’s one of my passions in life. So I’ve been taking a deeper look at how my body has changed, while still wanting to maintain a positive relationship with food. As the author puts it, “Feeling fat has stronger health effects than being fat.” From what I’ve learned, it seems that stress about being fat is actually worse for your health than the weight. Restrictive diets can be negative for your long term health and can confuse your body. But when you eat intuitively, you learn to trust yourself, which is really empowering. Fat phobia is real and there an be a lot of shame about being part of the fat community. There is not much organization, advocacy effort or activism to eliminate discrimination based on size. If someone is a larger size than someone else, they are assumed to be less healthy. Your size is no one else’s business. Our bodies are complex and informed greatly by our genetics. Size is not an indicator of overall health. I’m my personal largest size right now. Even both times I was full term pregnant. I’ve felt a lot of emotions about this that are primarily negative. But here’s the thing. I’m also eating the healthiest I ever have and exercising more consistently than I ever have as an adult. My mental health has improved leaps and bounds in the last few years.

    Made my boys matching little fire truck shirts! I Made my boys matching little fire truck shirts! I cut these out about 2 months ago but they’ve been waiting while I figured out my serger issues. The repair shop had my serger for 6 weeks. None of the repairs were covered by warranty and they wanted to charge me nearly as much as the machine cost. 😭 So after a bunch of dramatic moments, I bought a new @juki_club overlocker and I’m back in business! Whipped up these little shirts so fast! Fabric: gifted from @minervadotcom in exchange for a post on their website Pattern: free kids t shirt from DIBY Club
    Thanks for all the love on my latest quilt! I’m Thanks for all the love on my latest quilt! I’m sharing a bit more about the quilting in my stories today. I’ve started the hand quilting and took a little picture of this peaceful moment in my childhood bedroom stitching away while my kids napped. The yellow section is my sister’s Nancy Drew collection. :) I bought a tackle box at the home improvement store a few months ago and it’s my favorite way to store all my quilting supplies. So easy to transport it around! Although, I think I’ll get a lock on my next box so it’s a little harder for my kids to access!
