Just two garment projects planned this month! I plan to use my February sock squad yarn (from Farmer's Daughter Fibers) to knit a pair of Hello Sailor socks (the gym sock version). And then I would love to finally use the Elizabeth Suzann silk noil fabric I have been saving for a pair of Arenite…

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.…

Usually, toward the start of a new year, I would have all sort of homemade garment goals. But this year, coming off a three month break from sewing and knitting, it's hard for me to picture what I want to make. So I thought instead I would set mini-goals throughout the year. Here are three…

Checking in with my April "projects in progress." I didn't finish anything that that I had started at the beginning of March. But I did complete a few new things. First, I made a bunch of pairs of underwear. I have seven complete and (as you'll see below) five pairs that just need elastic added.…

Checking in with my March "projects in progress." But first, last month's wins! I finished my harlowe pullover and am so happy with how it turned out.

So… this was fun. The making, the wearing and then the gathering to create this photo grid. I made a ton of clothes in 2018. Not all are shown here because honestly? Not all are worn. Some have already been donated because the fit wasn't quite right, the fabric wasn't quite right, I washed it…

In 2018 I stopped buying clothing and starting making it! It was life changing and I don't think I'm ever going back. I am working on a post about all the garments I made in 2018 but in the meantime I wanted a record of the stuff I had in progress at the start of…

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…

For my next MAKE&GIVE30 project, I am using yarn again! This is actually the first project I created but the excitement over the first four go in the way. I'm realizing though that I've got to get these knit projects out of the way quick while we are still technically in winter. 😉 I was…
