Sointu Kimono Tee








Oh heyyy guys! The weather decided to play nice with us today up here in B-Ham. The sun even teased us with a couple appearances. Heading down to the beach for some photos was an obvious choice. The light was pretty soft even in midday due to the cloud cover. I'm becoming something of a cloudy day hedonist living in this part of the country. 

I made the Sointu Kimono Tee by Named Patterns. This went together like cake using my serger and a commodious knit. This pattern was comprehensible and a breeze to sew up. There's not a whole lot to say about this one except that I'm pleased with how this turned out and plan to actually wear it a lot.

Other than that, 2017 is off to a promising start. I have been going to the gym 3-4 times weekly, usually with Keith, and I even have some cool new IT Band issues to show for it! So I'll probably be focusing on upper body this week :/ . Keith and I are also looking for a new place in April, so we are keeping pretty busy these days.

That's all for now!

xoxo,

Amy

PS. In the spirit of February and Valentine's Day, if you really want to show me how much you care... and you totally don't have to, and I won't be offended if you don't, but you know, it would be like, super cool if you did... You should maybe consider, or at least consider considering following me on Bloglovin' . But hey, NBD if you're not feeling it ;)

Axel Skirt

Greetings, my lovelies! Did everyone have a wonderful September?? Fall has officially descended upon my corner of the Pacific Northwest, and we are already starting to see color in the trees. We've also been having spooky, surreal early-morning fogs that hover in the air and make everyone's morning commutes equal parts dangerous and beautiful. I've been meaning to snap off some pictures to share... My latest make is Megan Nielsen's Axel skirt . Although I probably didn't do the pattern full justice, I really enjoyed the straight-forward instructions and minimalist design. I typically make big-4 patterns, so Nielsen's streamlined instructions for this skirt were a breath of fresh air. In other news, my generous boyfriend gifted me a Singer Professional (serger and cover-stitch) for my birthday this past Summer. After over-coming my initial anxiety over setting it up, I spent several weeks learning how to thread and use it. It's a really great mach

V8928 Wrap Skirt!

Hey guys! Happy Summer! I know it's been a hot minute since I posted- I've been getting settled into my life here in WA. I re-joined the working world over a month ago, which resolved a lot of my initial anxiety about moving. However, I've been a bit wrapped up and neglectful of my sewing goals, which will change as I continue to acclimate. I started this skirt project an embarrassingly long amount of time ago; I initially planned to wear it to a Beyonce concert I attended at the end of May, but it wasn't done in time. I did have all the pieces cut already, so I was committed to finishing it, even though it's not the most practical of wardrobe items. For me, it needs to go from work to play pretty seamlessly to be considered practical. And this one is not something I would wear to work. In fact, I wasn't expecting the front slit on this to be anywhere near as high as it is. I read some reviews saying it was a pretty revealing garment, and I sewed

Notes From The Comeback Kitten/ Papercut Patterns Ravine Dress

Huzzah! My fair readers, it is so wonderful to be writing to you again! Did you miss me? Hopefully not too much? I missed writing to you, but these last few months have been full of movement, and a lot of change for me. This is the first day of my staged comeback ;) I am alive, I am well, and I seem to look pretty good? Joking aside, these last 6 months have been pretty shit lol. I used to never say words like shit on this blog, preferring instead to use cutesy Shakespearean insults that people were really unsure the meaning of, but it's been that kind of year. Now I say shit. I typically try to keep my social postings extremely positive, not because I'm trying to be fake, but because I don't want to drag everyone else down into my emotional/psychological vortex. Ya know? Because I like you guys, I don't tell you everything. Well, that's how I typically do it. This year, life decided to hand my ass back to me. It's been a strugg
