#matchatoppattern

Wow! I finished my #2018makenine goals! I thought I was being very lofty when I made my list last January. I have spent more time sewing this past year than I expected. My make nine goals were: 1: jeans! (I made #mnash by @megannielsenpatterns 2. Wool #sapporocoat by @papercutpatterns 3. #matchatoppattern by @sewliberated 4. #emersonshorts by @truebias 5. A #hadleytop by @grainlinestudio 6. The #blackwoodcardigan by @helens__closet 7. #salliejumpsuit by @closetcase.patterns 8. #charliecaftan by @closetcase.patterns And for 9, I substituted the #orchidmidi by @chalkandnotch for the original #highlandwrapdress. (They were so similar and I decided that the wrap dress would be great for spring so I’ll push it to next year.) I’m already plotting out my 2019 challenge, and am so happy to say that I’m well on my way to having a completely handmade wardrobe! #sewcialhon #sewcialists #sewist #handmadewardrobe #makersgonnamake #sewinggoals #sewingtherapy #sewingheals https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaEq8rn3SX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dujbtp6hmd6h

Day 6 #spring10x10 , otherwise known as "Wear Half Your Pieces in One Day." #layeringmaniac 😂 Having swapped out my Wiksten Jacket for these jeans, I was in search of a bit more warmth on this coolish morning. I really love wearing my sand washed rayon #metamorphicdress over my black silk #matchatoppattern. The #gypsumskirt is designed to be worn as an outer or under layer, kind of like a petticoat. It's been getting a lot of use as a layering piece. I'm curious which pieces I'll end up reaching for the most during this challenge. 🤔 So far, I think the skirt is winning.

Day 2, #winter10x10: I wanted to feel comfortably bad ass today. 🖤😂✊🏼 Reached for my silk #matchatoppattern, sand washed rayon #arenitepants (pattern in the works!), thrifted jacket, #janehat in @quinceandco Fox, and @oliberte boots (which are fair trade certified.) Having dressed in a way that gives fast fashion the cold shoulder, feelings of resilience, creativity, and kindness are amplified. Dressing can be a powerful, artistic, and - especially when you make your own clothes (slowly) with love and intention in your heart - a form of meditation and self-care. ✨🖤✨ #handmade10x10 #10x10friends #slowfashion #sustainablefasion

Fiber is my love language, y'all. 🖤 Wishing you a rejuvenating weekend peppered with a seam here, a seam there. 🖤 Wearing - sleeveless #matchatoppattern in @annamariahorner Loominous fabric (pattern available in my shop☝️& newsletter subscribers get a lifetime 20% discount!); @aceandjig Gemma dress; thrifted jacket, old (resoled) boots, and natrurally dyed, handwoven bag from my artisan friend in Oaxaca. (Look back in my feed for our recent trip.) *This outfit looks pretty goofy without the jean jacket, but jean jackets are the wardrobe panacea, IMO. 🖤 #sewingisselfcare #slowfashion #sustainablefasion

The only knitting project I finished while in Mexico was my #eyriecowl from @oliveknits, and I love that the stitches contain memories of places, people, and moments from our trip. (And possibly sand. Definitely sand. 😊) It is such a squishy textile, and the Button Jar colorway from @brooklyntweed is a new favorite. I've been searching for my perfect green and am happy to have finally found it.🖤 Worn here with my #quillhat, black silk #matchatoppattern and thrifted chambray sleeveless shirt, aka vest. #slowfashion
