I was hoping to finish three tops in January and I ended up finishing two and knitting two pairs of socks instead. Absolutely hyped though with what I got done. The cardigan is the Cocoknits Sarah cardigan in bright blue Retrosaria Mungo yarn. It turned out so wearable! I love the fit and the color.…

I thought it would be fun to catalog the garments I sewed and knitted in 2020. It was an interesting year for my clothes making hobby. I made a bunch of garments (mostly dresses!) while Paul was deployed and then hardly touched my sewing machine or knitting needles once he returned in late September. (Don’t…

For the month of May, I participated in "Me Made May" a DIY clothing challenge hosted by Zoe. (You can read more about this challenge and FAQs here.) This was my third time through the challenge. (You can read about my experience doing this in 2018 right here and in 2019 here.) Just like last…

For the past few years I have spent a lot of time thinking about my wardrobe (remember when I did a capsule wardrobe?), pairing down what I own, learning about where my clothing is made and paying more attention to the garments I feel good in and how much use I can get from my…

So, technically, I am dropping this wardrobe into the rotation a little early. My winter wardrobe was supposed to go from January to March. But two weekends ago, I looked in my closet and wanted to cry over the amount of black shirts hanging in there…staring at me. It was making me sad to even…

Last weekend I finished up my last "for Elise" (<– nine years of blogging and I finally got to use that link!) project for a long time. I'm now getting started on MAKE&GIVE30 projects! SO exciting. I went out with a(nother) knit sweater. This time it was the glam lamb cardigan that I was so…
