    A slightly different quilted coat! If you recall, A slightly different quilted coat! If you recall, I made something almost identical to this a couple months ago and I’ve absolutely loved it! But I needed another version for a slightly odd reason. We have stairs in our home that we renovated a couple years ago. I used a railing vendor that I knew little about and who ended up communicating poorly and causing me many sleepless nights. He made the railing end extend longer than we wanted but we had to just go with it because it was already powder coated and delayed two weeks. So back to the quilt coat. Every time I wear it, it catches on this weird, erroneous part of the railing and I get stuck. And then I panic that my pocket has come off, but worse, I think about the railing error. So I had to make another coat. 🤣 For this one, I decided to use a mini gingham for the binding. I wish I had cut it on the bias but I forgot and when I remembered there wasn’t enough left. But I’ve used this fabric to make a scout tee and masks for my whole family so I’m glad to have used it all up in fun ways! I used the pockets from the #allwellcardigancoat but everything else is from #wikstenhaori. I still need to add hook closures but a safety pin is working right now for our bitter cold walks to the river. And luckily I had a sister who wanted my other one! Win win!
    Here’s my first attempt at the #mandyboattee, a Here’s my first attempt at the #mandyboattee, a free pattern from @tessutifabrics. This is only my second time sewing knits and things went much better this time, well faster. I cut out the neck to be one size smaller than the rest of the top, because I don’t like a super wide boat neck. Working with the twin needle was much simpler this time and I really like the instructions on this neckline. But. The sleeves are much too tight. In fact, the sleeve seam literally bust open the first time I wore this. So I unpicked and restitched with a smaller seam allowance. It’s held up so far. 🤞🏻 I really like the shape and size so I’m going to make this again (I even have enough extra of this fabric). But for my second version, I think I’ll go up a sleeve size and widen the opening of the bodice to accommodate a bigger sleeve. Living and learning! (P.S. This pattern says it should be made using a serger, but I just did it on my machine with a walking foot, stretch needle, and a zig zag stitch.) In other RTW news, I bought these fleece lined pants from Costco and they’re my favorite. They’re the kind of pants you FaceTime all your sisters from the store and pick up extra for them! And I constantly have cold feet in the winter but these wool @allbirds are so warm! I love them.

    My baby boy turns one tomorrow. Which means this d My baby boy turns one tomorrow. Which means this day last year was spent at the hospital with anxiety, confusion, pain, and imagining meeting this baby I had studied via ultrasound. Ever so grateful to have Peter in my life now. ❤️
    I made a doll! He doesn’t have clothes yet, but I made a doll! He doesn’t have clothes yet, but they’re coming. I ordered some fabric from @spoonflower for overalls and a shirt and I’m really hoping it’s going to be awesome as I think it will be. I used a pattern from @jodiericrac that I purchased on @etsy. I used her “Ginger” pattern but made some modifications to make it look like my son’s hair. And then I had to change up the shoes a bit so they’d look like his yellow crocs! 🤣 I detailed this a little bit in my stories, but the eyes are safety eyes so they can’t be pulled out, which will be nice for the baby. So excited about this project!
    A couple months ago I felt like I reached my tippi A couple months ago I felt like I reached my tipping point with COVID and the election. I love control, but this year I haven’t felt much control. So I decided to become a volunteer. I wanted to choose something I feel passionate about. I volunteered at the Utah Refugee Center and this week I’ll be teaching a virtual embroidery workshop. A few weeks ago, I reached out on stories asking for donations to help me assemble these kits for my students. Y’all were so generous! Some of you mailed me thread, vintage embroidery hoops, needle packs. My mom donated hoops that I used to use growing up. Past neighbors gave financial donations for me to get new fabric and my favorite types of tracing pens. These kits mean even more to me now that they represent a community gathering supplies to teach our new neighbors. So here’s a pep talk I’m giving myself: No matter the outcome of the election today, I have a voice. I have abilities that can help others. If there’s something I’m passionate about, I can speak up and mobilize my own community. America is better than our differences and stronger when we work together, no matter the leadership. ❤️🇺🇸
