Made this cute set for my Mama’s 65th! I’m now thinking of a million different fabric combinations I want to try out for both of these fun and easy patterns!

Pattern: 241 Tote by Noodlehead and a modified Fold over Clutch by LBG Studio
Fabric: Cotton and Steel, Lucky Strikes and Essex Linen in Nautical

Would you believe me if I told you sweaters don’t just knit themselves??! Sometimes you really have to work on it. . I know, because this is my second time around with this bit of color work. If you’ve been following along in my stories you know I wasn’t happy with how it was turning out, so I ripped back to the ribbing and started again. I switched the dominant yarn, and I’m being ever so mindful about how tight (or not) I keep the yarn. . I’m so much happier with it this time around! This is my second colorwork sweater, and I’m getting the hang of things, but I’ll still gladly take any tips you have to offer! . Pattern is the #navellitee by @boylandknitworks Yarn is @bichesetbuches #lapetitelambswool ever so generously sent to me by my IG bestie @shoplamercerie . . . #iknit #knittersofinstagram #knittingwip #strandedknitting #colorworkknitting #yarnlove #myboylandknit #boylandknitworks #knittersgonnaknit #jessamybknits

Vacation swatching: when you can’t decide what projects to bring on vacation, so you bring them all 🙌🏻 . . . Very excited about both of these projects! I swatched for the #navellitee by @boylandknitworks with the lovely @bichesetbuches #lapetitelambswool from @shoplamercerie . The second swatch (almost done!) is the #vellichorcrop by @dreareneeknits in @yarnonthehouse #yothmother from @ewefibers . . . The only problem is I need the same size needles for both projects, so I may have to commit to just one, but which one should I pick?? . . . . #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #boylandknitworks #dreareneeknits #knitlove #yarnlove #jessamybknits

Have I told you lately that I love stripes? . . Can’t wait to show you these almost finished #kendrickoveralls (hold the overall) that I’m working on. . . Amazing stripe denim from @shoplamercerie (and word on the street is there may be just a smidge left, so tune back in for news on that). . . . #isew #isewmyownclothes #sewingwip #heyjunehandmade #shoplamercerie #sewingismysuperpower #diyfashion #memade #memadeeveryday #sewcialist #jessamybmakes2019

Thank you all for your kind comments on my #estuaryskirt yesterday. I know it was a bit hard to see the details of this fabric in that post, so here’s a bit of a close up. You can see it is actually pin stripes, not a solid gray! (I know, stripes, shocking choice for me😂) . . I’m happy to report this skirt kept me cool and looking put together through a hot Saturday. Farmers Market, movies, some house cleaning, and now I think it’s about time for a glass of wine. . . Happy weekending everyone. Stay safe and cool (if it’s hot where you are!) 🥂 . . #estuaryskirt #sewliberated #sewliberatedpatterns #indiepatterns #indiesewingpattern #stellantee #ewefibers #isew #sewistofinstagram #sewingismysuperpower #sewinginreallife #makersgonnamake #jessamybmakes2019

The #estuaryskirt may just be the skirt of my dreams. It so good y’all!! So good that I may have sewed this up in a day. It’s too hot to go outside, #noregrets . . Full disclosure though, I made this partly for the shop, so I got a bit of a head start, and had the pieces cut out on Wednesday night. That being said, it is a quick sew, with beautiful results! . . I sewed a straight size 4 based on my measurements which are currently 27.5” waist, 36” hip. This put me between sizes, and because of the fullness of the skirt and elastic back, I decided to go with the smaller size. I made no adjustments to the length, and I’m 5’1”. . . I don’t often drop everything and sew a new pattern right away, but I have been eagerly awaiting this one for months! I may or may not be planning a few more 😬 . .

Hi! 👋🏻 Summer stuffs, plus kids plus life have kept my insta use relatively low. It’s also gotten in the way of getting “insta worthy” photos, so when I saw @workroomsocial #sewinginreallife I knew it was something I could get behind. There is a lot of sewing in real life for me, because I work at a sewing studio, and wear memade everyday. Here I am in my newly released #friscojumpsuit by @threadbeargarments packing orders at work. . . . Hope summer is going well for all of you, and you have time to sneak in some sewing too (if you want to!!) . . . . #isewmyownclothes #sewistofinstagram #memade #memadeeveryday #diyfashion #indiepatterns #sewistgonnasew #makersgonnamake #threadbeargarments
