oh hey here are some ~moody~ detail shots of my newest outfit that I can’t wait to wear all over my apartment!!! 😛😛😛 - The pattern is the gorgeous Hannah Wrap dress from @byhandlondon, and I went for the tulip sleeve view —> swipe for the 🌷! No modifications other than shortening the hem by 4 inches in order to squeeze it out of a limited amount of @riflepaperco Meadow fabric. I maaay or may not have purchased three more cuts of fabric from their 20% off sale last night 🙃 - In other news, I finally have hot water after a week of it being out, time for a hot shower 🚿 - #bhlhannah #riflepaperco #riflepapercofabric #htxblogger #isewlation

Yesterday’s accomplishments included completing ✌🏽 of the scrap-busting @closetcase.patterns poufs and perhaps most importantly starting Tiger King on Netflix 🐆🐅 this pattern is free!!! And so satisfying to make 🥳 - Big things learned from this pattern - they are HUGE! I fit two gigantic bags of scraps, y’all these scraps were filling my entire laundry room 🤪 the first one I made is on the second photo, so swipe to see it! I made it with cottons and linens, so it’s a little less stiff and more squishy than the second one I made. The second one, aka the featured one you see, is made from my boyfriends old Levi’s jeans, home decor fabric from @ikeausa and @joann_stores, and linen blend also from @joann_stores. I found the medium weight substrates to be far more sturdy! Also to distribute weight a lil better, I stuffed first with some old poly fill so the top would be light and soft and then packed at the end with some denser items such as old knitting projects that i certainly won’t be finishing, old curtains that I didn’t feel strongly about upcycling, etc. - What are your Netflix / podcast recommendations?? I’m already a routine Netflix bingeing fiend so it’s slim pickings out there 😅 - #closetcasepouf #scrapbusting #diyhomedecor #isewlation #htxblogger

These pics were taken with mere ~seconds~ of sunset left but hey still got them 🤓 hopefully the people going on their social distancing walks outside weren’t too puzzled at me prancing around in front of my tripod 😛 - Anyways, this was my second garment that I made for the @stylemakerfabrics Spring Style Tour! It’s a much more wearable, everyday blouse in comparison to yesterday (lol) which means I’ll likely get much more use out of it! More details on the blog 📸 - Fabric: scatter polka dot rayon crepe gifted from @stylemakerfabrics Pattern: Roscoe Blouse from @truebias - As for changes to the pattern, I skipped the cuffed sleeves and simply cut about 2 inches from each sleeve and hemmed! I also cut off 3 inches from the hem of the blouse but it’s still long enough to be tucked in. - #smfstyletour #roscoeblouse #isewlation #sewconnected #htxblogger

Good morning, friends ☀️ in reality, I’m wearing a hoodie and leggings right now but I believe we should still find reasons to dress up while cooped up indoors 💃🏻 I’m joining the @stylemakerfabrics Spring Style Tour today, so check out the blog today for more details and more photos 🤩 I reviewed two fabrics, so I’ll be posting the next look soon as well 👀 - Fabric: watercolor rayon poplin gifted from @stylemakerfabrics Pattern: Vogue 9253 - #smfstyletour #sewisolated #htxblogger #stylemakerfabrics #vogue9253 #isewlation

Happy Friday! I recently ventured out of my routine crafting (aka sewing) last weekend and made this nifty lil plant stand (the one holding the peace lily!) 🌱 my plant obsession is slowly growing and I’m definitely okay with it 🥰 - I’ve been following @thesorrygirls for a while and this is the first time I’ve done one of their DIYs and the instructions were 💯. I encourage everyone to do something this weekend out of the norm :) - #sorrygirlssquad #houseplantsofinstagram #htxblogger #houseplantclub

Yesterday afternoon I tried to clean up and turn my sewing area into a more photo shoot friendly space 🌿 and in the process snapped a detail shot of my new go-to dress! I’ve been going in between work and home, and trying to maintain some sense of routine and normalcy. Stay healthy, friends! ☀️ - Specifically about this dress, it’s pretty quick to make! Maybe 4-5 hours or less if you’re speedy and reckless 😈 but taking the extra time to do the exposed ruffle detail was soooo worth it y’all! It’s an extra luxe detail and I’m surprised by how much I love it 🥰 - Dress: #sewingindigo from @tillybuttons Fabric: cotton from @joann_stores - #fiddleleaffig #htxblogger #styleblogger #handmadewithjoann

sleeping in, cozy 😴 sipping fresh coffee, yay! ☕️ scrolling through the ‘gram 📸 - a haiku to a day off 🤪🤪🤪

🌿 grow your own garden 🌿 - Funny enough, I joked to my college roommates that this would be my mantra for 2019 but then it actually became true 🙃 for me this means pouring your resources into things that make you flourish such as working out, saying yes to socializing with friends, and making sure to check in with family and friends that live far away❣️anyways, sometimes growing your own garden means walking down the street to your local plant nursery and getting some dramatic pics 📸 - Fabric: cotton from @joann_stores Pattern: Indigo Dress from @tillybuttons - #sewingindigo #handmadewithjoann #htxblogger #styleblogger
