Hello! It is finally starting to feel like AUTUMN here in my area, and honestly? I’m waffling about the whole thing. Two days ago, we had temperatures in the low 80s. I lamented that while I love a nice 80 degree day, it felt like a full week into November felt a little late in the game to be holding out with warm muggy days! However, yesterday we woke up to temperatures just barely above freezing and spent the majority of the day in the 40s. Apparently, I cannot be satisfied, because this was also unsatisfactory to me. Does anyone like this type of weather? I most certainly do not. However, last weekend we spent a lovely weekend in the woods in Broken Bow, Oklahoma… And THAT was peak autumn perfection. Chilly evenings required a jacket, but sunny afternoons got close to the mid-70s.

I’ve lost track of how many garments I’ve sewn with the Minerva Exclusive line of viscose challis since their release this summer, but what I CAN tell you is that I’m not going to be done any time soon! Today, I’m excited to show you our matching spooky-season outfits.
The Marlo Sweater exists to make all of your cozy grandpa dreams come true, and it is most certainly doing it for me! I wish I had sewn this pattern as soon as I received the fabric, but instead I put it off for a little while because the pattern felt a little intimidating to me. It felt like the outcome must warrant a pretty detailed or difficult process, and I was a little bit nervous that I would mess it up somehow. It turns out that no matter how long you’ve been sewing, things will still seem a little bit out of reach from time to time.
It isn’t very often that I purchase a pattern and use it quickly. But the Bubble Frock got me – I couldn’t wait! This pattern is SO stinking cute. The big full skirt, the horizontal princess seams (hello, I did not even know this was a thing!), the BUBBLES. I didn’t have any particular fabric picked out when I purchased the pattern, but I knew I wanted to grab it right away.
