I’m so excited to share my most recent work of art and to share the new Clara Shorts pattern by my friend Susana of Suco by Susana. I know she has put so much work into this pattern, and I was so glad that I could help test the pattern. Susana is Portuguese, and you can buy her patterns in … Continue reading “Clara Shorts – Suco by Susana”
I got an email from my daughters school about a month before school was over saying that she needed a grey tutu and a grey shirt for the school’s end-of-year recital. (I guessed she was going to be an elephant, and I was correct.) The parents in the class sent messages that it was actually pretty impossible to find a … Continue reading “Lemon Tee & a Tutu”
We are at the tail end of a heatwave here in Portugal, and last week was kind of a doozy. But luckily, I made so many nice tank tops over the past few months and was prepared! I always feel weird making a whole new blog post for patterns that I’ve already made, so this is a round-up of tank … Continue reading “Inevitable Repeats: Tank Tops”
This isn’t the first time I’ve shown off my new Elbe Textiles Weiland Tank, but this is the official blog post for it! I wasn’t really sure about it when I first finished it and tried it on, but I’ve already worn it multiple times, and it’s so comfortable and nice to wear. I originally planned to wear it with … Continue reading “Weiland Tank – Elbe Textiles”
It’s a lot warmer here in the Lisbon area, and it made me realize that I need to blog about this cardigan before it’s completely unseasonal. Although, I think we’re already to that point. I have been sewing a lot of Sewlala patterns lately because I have been testing her patterns, and I’ve really like them! The Paula Top & … Continue reading “Sewlala – Paula Cardigan”
I had grand plans to sew this set for our family cruise vacation last year, but I was only able to cut it out and ran out of time to sew it. Then, when we got back from the cruise, I took a very long break from sewing …then it was winter. So I didn’t have a lot of motivation … Continue reading “Matching Beach Set”
Another month of May has come to a close and, like usual, I tried when I could and let it be when I couldn’t. I had fun coming up with new combinations and got inspiration from a few different looks that I had saved to my Pinterest board. I think I missed 4-5 days from being sick or not feeling … Continue reading “Me Made May 2026”
I’ve been meaning to blog about the Sommar Camisole for months, but then I just kept making more of them, so I figured I would wait. But this week is “Sommar Camisole Week” with Paradise Patterns, and the designer, Sanna, is doing a giveaway for everyone who post about theirs on Instagram. So, I figured I would finally write this … Continue reading “Paradise Patterns – Sommar Camisole”
I did quite a bit of selfless sewing in April, so I thought I would lump it all into one post for those who are interested. There was a little bit of variety, but I stuck to the things I’ve been making lately (i.e. knit things and bags). First up, I made my mom a new dress! She and my … Continue reading “A Little Bit of Selfless Sewing”
I am SO excited to share my newest bag that I am so in love with. That sounds like I’m exaggerating, but I am so thrilled with how it turned out, which is way better than I imagined. This is the new Freya Tote and Laura Pouch from Sewlala. I had the opportunity to test the pattern, and it was … Continue reading “Sewlala – Freya & Laura”
