Update: power is back and my A/C is functional 💯 I wore this dress to an amazing all-you-can-eat brunch buffet at @caracol_houston yesterday, so this week is already off to a good start 😛 do y’all have any fun plans this week, DIYing or otherwise? - Pattern: Meridian Dress by @papercutpatterns Fabric: block printed cotton from @fiberstofabric - #meridiandress #htxblogger #styleblogger
Sorry to all those I’ve already complained to in the last few days but literally y’all - I need another vacation because my air conditioning unit was broken for three entire days in the INSANE Houston heat and then it was fixed Saturday night! Plot twist: the next morning, the power transformer for the entire block blew out ☠️ - Cheers to this Sunday, the week can only get better from here... right? 😰 - Fabric: novelty cotton from @joann_stores Pattern: Zadie Jumpsuit from @paper_theory - #zadiejumpsuit #instatravel #waikikibeach #handmadewithjoann
☀️FRIDAY!!☀️ life has been a little hectic as I’ve started orientation for my new job buuut I love my new coworkers and can’t wait to get started 🥳 - I’ve got a new blog post about this dress up as part of the @coffeeandthread Madrid Dress blog tour! Big thanks to @frl.love for inviting me to take part ☺️ I chose the midi length of this dress to endure the Texas heat, but otherwise this was a relatively straightforward garment! I’ve never worn any tiered skirts/dresses before and I’m so happy with how this turned out 😎 check out more deets on the blog! - Fabric: poplin from @fabrictopia Pattern: Madrid Dress from @coffeeandthread - What are y’alls weekend plans?! - #ctmadrid #madriddresstour #coffeeandthreadpatterns #styleblogger
I love this fabric (and dress!!) to the moon and back! 🌙😅 - Sharing a lil sneak peek of my upcoming blog post in collaboration with @minervacrafts!! I got this amazing galaxy fabric right before I left before my quick LA trip so I knew I had to have something to wear to the Griffith Observatory 😂😂😂 I’ve been on the hunt for good patterns for basic cotton fabrics and this pattern certainly does the trick! I was inspired by all the Emery Dresses from @sew.with.joy 🤗 - Fabric: cotton gifted from @minervacrafts Pattern: Emery Dress from @christinehaynes - #emerydress #minervacrafts #minervacraftsbloggernetwork #lastyle #instatravel
Happy Saturday, friends! 👋🏼 I’ve worn these Yanta Overalls ~5 times before I actually got a nice photo in them on top of a parking garage in Los Angeles 🤩 (literally it was my boyfriend’s idea to come up here for the pics - isn’t he the best?!?!) - I’ve worn them in planes, to brunch, while fabric shopping, and so much more - comfort level is seriously 10/10, y’all 😎 I’ve already made another pair in denim!! - Fabric: linen blend from @joann_stores Pattern: #YantaOveralls from @helens__closet - Changes: Shortened an inch in bodice and an inch in the rise, graded in from the waist to the hips by a little over and inch on both sides. - #handmadewithjoann #lastyle #instatravel #sewinglove #inmyyantas
Summer is here and so is shirring!! 🙌🏼☀️🌈 🍭 - I was so excited/thrilled/nervous when @cocowawacrafts asked me to test her new pattern for her so I immediately ordered a gigantic roll of elastic thread and got to work ✂️ I chose the jumpsuit view with ruffle straps, mostly because I thought it would look good with this amazing rayon fabric I found at @hobbylobby. Check out @cocowawacrafts feed to see how versatile this pattern is! It’s available as a dress, jumpsuit, or romper with a few different strap variations 🙌🏼 - Shirring is one technique I *never* thought I’d be able to learn but this pattern takes you through all the steps so make this stretchy magic happen! Having another sewing trick up your sleeve is so satisfying and this would certainly qualify as one of my proudest makes ✨ - Pattern: Raspberry Jumpsuit from @cocowawacrafts Fabric: Rayon from @hobbylobby 📸: @willdill - #cwraspberryjumpsuit #pridemonth #abmlifeiscolorful #styleblogger #htxblogger #ilovetosew
All these lights but they don’t shine as bright as you ✨😛 - it seems my handmade wardrobe is slowly being taken over by jumpsuits! This one I’m particularly excited about because I made it in this suuuper comfy textured cotton from Kyoto 🇯🇵 making outfits from fabric purchased on trips makes for the best memorable yet useful souvenirs! - This Marigold Jumpsuit from Tilly and the Buttons was quick to make! Changes included shaving less than an inch from the rise and modifying the sweetheart neckline to a straight more boxy neckline. - Pattern: #SewingMarigold from @tillybuttons Fabric: textured cotton from @nomuratailorhouse - #tillyandthebuttons #lastyle #losangeles #lacma #instatravel
☀️ just ~rompin~ around in the waves 🌊 - Pattern: Zadie Jumpsuit by @paper_theory Fabric: cotton thrifted from @texasartasylum - #zadiejumpsuit #venicebeach #thriftstorefinds
