I'm a self-trained sewist, learning a little more about my own style with each make. My fire is fed by coffee, pinot noir, and my sewing machine. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass, and join me in creating a wardrobe that speaks to your soul.

  • My May / June recap is live this morning! I made so many things, and tried out some new skills and tools I hadn't used before! Here's a little peek at two of my favorites... Which are yours? •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #piratepencilskirt #patternsforpirates #ogdencami #sosewenglish #handmadewithjoann #landershorts #landerpants #cottoneerfabrics #imadeshorts #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #texasblogger #pinsandpinot
  • while I'm still working on finding a great workout plan, one thing that ALWAYS fits in my schedule is coffee! I've recently discovered VitaCup, and it's making my mornings even better! I've been drinking the @drinkvitacup Slim Blend, and it's checking all the boxes... delicious coffee ✅ added vitamins and antioxidants ✅ health and fitness boosters ✅ I'm into it. And I'll have all the energy I need to take on a run, as soon as I find the time (or maybe just hit the sewing machine instead!) 😝 I've thrown a link in my linktree today, check it out if you want a little boost each morning! Has anyone else tried VitaCup? which blend do you love?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ top: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ fabric: Performance Knit Emerald - Indie Sew⠀⠀⠀⠀ pattern: Named Patterns - Minttu Top⠀⠀ 📷: Seed Visual ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • #minttutop #indiesew #sewingwithknits #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #sewingactivewear #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #activewear #fitmomlife #texasblogger #drinkvitacup #hervcbags #ambvitacup #ambcollab
  • there are some super cool style lines on this top. I actually had forgotten about it until yesterday, when I pulled it out and wore it to brunch! it's great for working out or being cute 😝 but really I would love to be working out in it. What do you guys do to sneak some exercise into your day?! throw all your suggestions at me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ top: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ fabric: Performance Knit Emerald - Indie Sew⠀⠀⠀⠀ pattern: Named Patterns - Minttu Top⠀ leggings: handmade by me 🙋🏼‍♀️⠀ fabric: Performance Knit Heather Black Stripe - IndieSew⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Seed Visual ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #minttutop #sloanleggings #indiesew #sewingwithknits #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #sewingactivewear #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #activewear #fitmomlife #texasblogger
  • I've been trying to get back into some cardio recently, and I'm finding it really difficult. I went on a run a few weeks ago, it felt amazing, and somehow my RunKeeper app (that I've been using for like 8 years!) told me it was my 11th fastest run for that distance ever! I was so impressed with myself 😝 and made it a goal to start running twice a week. That was three weeks ago... And I haven't run since. The combination of the little one, the Texas summer heat, and the fact that we're out of the house for dinner most nights and I crash as soon as we get home is not working for me. Help! How do you set a running / walking schedule that works for you, and that you can keep?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ top: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ fabric: Performance Knit Emerald - Indie Sew⠀⠀⠀⠀ pattern: Named Patterns - Minttu Top⠀ leggings: handmade by me 🙋🏼‍♀️⠀ fabric: Performance Knit Heather Black Stripe - IndieSew⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Seed Visual ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • #minttutop #sloanleggings #indiesew #sewingwithknits #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #sewingactivewear #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #activewear #fitmomlife #texasblogger
  • today is Friday, and the first day of my weekend! going to be focusing on a little relaxation this weekend, and obviously some sewing. I'm working on a secret pattern test right now - y'all are going to love it. I'm hoping to have a new blog post up on Sunday, so keep your eyes open! In the meantime, you can check this babe of a dress out in a post from last summer - just search maternity!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ dress: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ fabric: Double Brushed Light Sage Wildflowers - Knit Pop⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ pattern: True Beauty Dress - Ellie & Mac⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Seed Visual ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #truebeautydress #ellieandmac #sewingwithknits #dbp #maternitysewing #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #dressmaker #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #texasblogger #pinsandpinot
  • look at that bump - and to think I was only about 6 months pregnant here! I whipped this dress up the day of the wedding I made it for, it I remember correctly 😝. sewing is the best!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ dress: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ fabric: Double Brushed Light Sage Wildflowers - Knit Pop⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ pattern: True Beauty Dress - Ellie & Mac⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Seed Visual ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #truebeautydress #ellieandmac #sewingwithknits #dbp #maternitysewing #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #dressmaker #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #texasblogger #pinsandpinot
  • oof. It has been a WEEK. (please don't remind me that it is only Wednesday!) needing a little inspiration today so I'm throwing it back to this photoshoot when I felt like a million bucks. 💃🤰🏼I need to find some time to make this pattern again, maybe in a 3/4 sleeve this time? it's such a great silhouette! (ps, if you love it too, you can find my #affiliate link on the blog post!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ dress: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ fabric: Double Brushed Light Sage Wildflowers - Knit Pop⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ pattern: True Beauty Dress - Ellie & Mac⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Seed Visual ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #truebeautydress #ellieandmac #sewingwithknits #dbp #maternitysewing #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #dressmaker #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #pinsandpinot #dallassews #texassews #sewingblogger #texasblogger #pinsandpinot
  • It's so interesting how much has changed since I began sewing just a few years ago. My style, fabric choices, skill level, speed, output, and photos have all evolved. My love of sewing and the relief and relaxation it brings me have only continued to grow! ⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ dress: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀ pattern: Hazel by Colette with gathered skirt⠀⠀ fabric: Pups in Sweaters - cotton from Joann⠀ 📷: @seed_visual ⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ #colettehazel #hazeldress #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #dressmaker #handmadewithjoann #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #pupsinsweaters #makersgonnamake #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #sewingblogger #texassews #dallassews #texasblogger #noveltyprints #dallasblogger #pinsandpinot
  • another thing that is a little different now than when I first started sewing is photos! I sewed much slower then, so photo shoots were less frequent and often way longer - I would end up with 30+ pictures sometimes! now, the goal is frequent, quick photo shoots with 10ish photos. I can't decide which I prefer?⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ dress: handmade by me 🙋🏼⠀⠀⠀ pattern: Hazel by Colette with gathered skirt⠀⠀ fabric: Pups in Sweaters - cotton from Joann⠀ 📷: @seed_visual ⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ #colettehazel #hazeldress #isew #memade #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #handmade #diyfashion #dressmaker #handmadewithjoann #imademyclothes #sewing #handmadewardrobe #pupsinsweaters #makersgonnamake #makethingsnotwar #ootd #handmadeootd #sewingblogger #texassews #dallassews #texasblogger #noveltyprints #dallasblogger #pinsandpinot
