I am super excited to share my Suki Kimono on the blog today! I knew that I was going to love this pattern before I even dug into it – I am a huge fan of Helen’s patterns, and was so impressed with the instructions when sewing up the Blackwood Cardigan last year. I’ve got plans to make the Winslow Culottes and the Avery Leggings, and the only reason I’ve been able to hold out this long on the Suki Kimono was because I wanted to be on track with Sew My Style!! I fell in love with this fabric from IndieSew when Allie released it back in January, and I knew it would be my perfect Suki Kimono. It has been sitting washed and ready to go on my shelf ever since, and I’m so glad to finally be wearing it! It is the perfect loungewear, and I have every intention of swanning around the house in this constantly throughout the summer. Side note – I’m also looking forward to the fact that this will be the most magical “me made” for May next year. I’ll be cute and put together in a me made garment, without ever having to actually change out of my pajamas the entire month!!

Happy June, Sew My Style team! I am so excited to be hosting this month’s make – the Suki Kimono! Just in time for pool cover-ups for those of us here in the Northern Hemisphere, and indoor lounging next to a fire for those of you below the equator – this kimono is pretty much the epitome of casual cool loungewear. To get your creative juices flowing this month, I’ve brought you a couple of fabric and styling ideas on the blog this morning!
Happy 2018 – it’s been a WHILE since I’ve posted! And I’ll be honest with you guys. This is pretty much a gratuitous post about how much I loved travelling through Italy, with a little bit of Blackwood Sweater thrown in for good measure. I’ve blogged a bit more about the construction and details of […]
Happy October 22nd! If you have been following along with #MeMadeFall2017, you’ll remember that today marks the kick-off of our second wardrobe category of makes – CARDIGANS! The perfect, timeless autumn wardrobe staple. For my interpretation, I had envisioned something slim fitting, but with a touch of drama, extending down to about mid-calf. See how I made it happen, here!
