Is it fall yet?? My new dress is perfect for layering, but it’s still too hot here for sweaters. Soon, please? 🍁🍂 . . Did you see I have a copy of this pattern to giveaway? Just tell me what view you would sew up! Check the #marigolddress to see all the great versions, especially the new split sleeve option that was added!😍 . .

What are ewe looking at? (Sorry, I had to) . . You guys. I am feeling so grateful tonight. When we decided to uproot our kids and move away from the only place they’ve ever called home, I was really worried that we were making a bad decision. The stress of all the unknowns was overwhelming. There have been a lot of ups and downs since then, and I still don’t know if we made the right choice, but I am happy we are here. . . I am very grateful for all of the lovely people we have met since moving. I have found a crew @ewefibers that let me muscle my way into their lives. We are slowly meeting new people, making new friends, and planting new roots that I am so excited to watch grow. There are still a lot of unknowns, but I am doing my best to tackle them as they come, and enjoy the process. . . Lots of pictures of my adventure “helping” shear sheep at @valhallafarm_fiber today in my stories. (And by helping I mean standing around taking pictures and occasionally bagging some fleece) Thank you @summerkiser for having me!

This Marigold dress has a slight vintage look to it, don’t you think? It’s a different silhouette than I normally wear, and I am really enjoying it. Plus, it’s ever so comfortable. . . Would you like to try out the pattern for yourself? Well, I hope you don’t mind another giveaway, because @blankslatepatterns has been kind enough to offer a free copy of the Marigold dress for one of you! There are multiple lengths and different sleeve variations included in the pattern, so I’m sure you can make a version to suit you! . . To be entered, just tell me what view you would sew up if you win below. Feel free to tag a friend who would be interested in a separate comment for added entries. I will pick a random winner on Thursday! . This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram. . . #blankslatepatterns #marigolddress #isew #isewmyownclothes #makersgonnamake #sewallthethings #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #jessamybmakes2018

When life gives you lemons, sew fancy pockets. . . I’m currently sewing up a pair of #gingerjeans in this Mustard stretch cord from @shoplamercie Did you see the new Stretch Corduroy? Jess was kind enough to give me a sneak peak, and you guys, it’s so good! . . I’m actually sewing these up alongside another pair of Gingers in a more typical stretch denim, so I can give you a true comparison of how it sews and wears. #yourwelcome . . Follow along my with my sewing antics in my stories where I’m doing my best to share these as I go. . . . #fancypockets #cottonandsteel #riflepapercofabric #gingerjeans #shoplamercerie #mygoldengingers #sewingblogger #sewistsofinstagram #isew #isewmyownclothes #memadeeveryday #sewallthethings #maker #makersgonnamake #jessamybmakes2018
