I’m moving! 🚚 only about a mile away from my previous place, but that means a trip to IKEA is in order! Can’t forget to stop by the fabric section 😎 . Any IKEA hacks that you’re obsessed with? I’ve got a ton more space to play with and ya girl is overwhelmed with all my creative options! 🤩 . #ikeahack #yorkpinafore #houston

Starting my Monday off nice and bright with my new Raspberry Rucksack 🧡💙 I chose two Houston-themed complementary colors and I am *obsessed* 😍 naturally I had to prop my backpack up in the bluebonnets to get the perfect shot 👌🏼 Find more details up on the blog! FYI: this pattern is top-notch! The instructions are thorough and easy to understand, and there are tons of useful photos in a sew-along on the blog. The bag surprisingly fits a ton of stuff, so it’s perfect for traveling or the busy student 🤓 Fabric: duck canvas from @joann_stores Pattern: Raspberry Rucksack by @sarkirsten #bluebonnetseason #raspberryrucksack #handmadewithjoann #htxblogger #houstonphotography #flashesofdelight #sewhappycolor

Oh hey 👋🏼 hot and humid Houston weather is just around the corner so I’m working on my summer wardrobe ☀️ here’s what I’m living in — breezy lightweight woven shirt + denim shorts + white sneakers 😎 In other news, I think my collars are improving! I used a rotary cutter this time, which was noticeably more precise than my scissors ✂️ Next time I make this shirt, I’ll add the cuffed sleeves for a more polished look, and perhaps leave the center front seam open on the bottom for a tie-front! Pattern: Willamette Shirt from @heyjunehandmade Fabric: block-printed cotton from @fiberstofabric Also, you can see a lil sneak peek of my next blog post just behind me! 👀 Any guesses?! . #willametteshirt #craftsposure #etsyfinds #htxblogger

Tuesdays are for turmeric and tie-dye! Check out the blog for all the deets to bring a lil natural sunshine into your life ☀️ . #tiedye #naturaldyeing #fiberlove #craftsposure #calledtobecreative #wemakecollective #abmlifeiscolorful

Y’all - this jumpsuit is like chicken noodle soup for your soul 🍜 so satisfying to make, and the outcome is stunning! ✨ also I’m obsessed with this large floral print from a local fabric shop here in Houston 😍💐 can you believe it was only $5/yard?! Check out the blog for the full review and more pics. Pattern: Zadie Jumpsuit by @paper_theory Fabric: medium weight cotton voile from Universal Fabric Center I made almost no changes, just tapered the legs in about 1 inch on both sides because they’re a teensy bit too wide for my liking! Next time I make it, I’ll probably go down a size as well, and shorten the bodice. . What are your go-to palate cleanser patterns?! Happy weekend, everyone! #zadiejumpsuit #lifeincolor #sewbibs #craftsposure #wemakecollective #calledtobecreative #thedarlingmovement #bokehlicious

Whoa how is it April already?? Yesterday was my boyfriend and I’s✌🏽year anniversary 💕 We will probably do a more fun date night this weekend with fancy cocktails and a nice dinner, but in the meantime we had a cozy night and ordered take out fajitas 🌮 and finished up season 3 of Lost! I caught up with my cousin over brunch and brought along my camera - yes, I *actually* wear a lot of my handmade dresses out in the wild! 💃🏻 Sewing has been an amazing way to push my style boundaries - your accessories define where your outfit lands on the casual vs fancy spectrum. Wear the dresses, dust off your heels! Fabric: block-printed cotton from @fiberstofabric Pattern: Meridian Dress from @papercutpatterns #meridiandress #etsyfinds #wemakecollective #htxblogger #instaoutfit #igstyle

Pollen season is in full swing here in Houston and I’m like 🤧 🐝 These days it’s easier to wear the flowers instead of stopping to smell them! 💐 . . Jumpsuit: bodice - Vogue 9253 with pants - New Look 6509 Fabric: Stretch Crepe from @joann_stores . . #v9253 #nl6509 #newlook6509 #sewhappycolor #youcanhackit #springlookbook #handmadewithjoann @katiekortmanart

If I do say so myself, my first attempt at natural dyeing was a major success 💛🙌🏼 . Today’s blog post is an easy DIY for natural fabric dyeing with turmeric and vinegar! I was so surprised with how pigmented the fabric turned out — in person it looks like summer and sunshine in a textile ☀️ check out the link in my bio for the play-by-play and more pics! For the pattern, I used the Sierra Jumpsuit pattern from @papercutpatterns but went down a size, made the shorts length, and left out the zipper! I’m thrilled with how this turned out — can you tell I’m excited for warm weather? 🤔 Have you tried natural dyeing before? What should I try next? #naturaldyeing #sierrajumpsuit #youcanhackit #handdyed #dyersofinstagram #livecolorfully #handmadewithjoann #sewhappycolor #waketomake
