As someone who is 5’1” (1.55 meters for those not in U.S.) wearing the same color from head to toe is another great styling trick to add the illusion of height. I love that I get to use this styling hack in fun colors and not just black or other neutrals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/360510a2-242d-4c89-959c-b95bfe31fa80/IMG_4005.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling: I opted for a fitted rib knit skirt in a burnt orange color. I think it goes well with the floral print. My shoes are cream colored loafers (sorry you can’t see them in the pics) that match well with my belt. I posted about the belt on my IG at some point. It’s made out of twill tape, interfacing and left over parts from a purse that was falling apart. It’s one of my favorite belts. And I decided to go with the same handbag as Tuesday’s look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/d72fbab6-dad0-4339-9aa9-63779d955b31/IMG_3219.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling: I’m wearing this hoodie with one of my most comfortable skirts. It’s actually a refashion of mine from a long time ago. It was a thrifted maxi length skirt that I shortened. I used the fabric that I cut off to create the pockets on the front of the skirt. I also made my top forever ago using a basic knit dress pattern (sorry I can’t remember the pattern number) My shoes are thrifted, but slightly too big so they’ve now found a new home in my mom’s closet :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/2b23b14a-e3a4-412a-b9cc-41ecb959e82e/IMG_4791.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Yarn I used K + C Botanical Yarn in black and olive green. It’s 70% bamboo viscose and 30% cotton and I purchased it at JoAnn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/e69531ad-7c57-4efc-a45f-069d78a480ed/IMG_5202.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling: I decided to go with a white fitted tee underneath the vest and my dress shoes with gold details. I can’t remember where I bought them, but I’ve had them for years and they’re still in great shape. My bag is a tote that I made in summer 2024 out of a placemat, some faux leather scraps, and the same corduroy fabric as the other bag I’m rocking in this collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/c14cf5fe-0a43-4ff1-b95c-10e0338464e7/IMG_4831.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Pattern: This crochet pattern is the Everyday Crochet Pullover Top by KnitcroAddict. You can get the pattern for free on her blog or you can purchase a more user friendly option from her Etsy shop. I followed along with the youtube video and made the following minor changes: I did not complete as many rows as recommended for the sleeves because I wanted them shorter. I added ribbing to the bottom I made a little bow for a decorative touch. It’s removable, so I can take it off if it doesn’t go with my outfit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/9bf4215f-dd65-4a8c-a59f-7729eeb8eb4c/IMG_3225.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Pattern: I used KnowMe pattern number 2080 to make this hoodie. Click here to read my review. I made a few modifications to the pattern so I could have it just how I wanted it. I shortened to bodice and sleeves for a better fit. I also used a smaller cuff than is recommended because my wrists are smaller than average. To protect my hair, I added a satin lining to the hood (iykyk ;) Next, I opted to use grommets instead of making buttonholes for the drawstring (which I hadn’t inserted yet at the time these photos were taken lol). I didn’t have a drawstring in the correct color, but then I remembered I know how to crochet lol, so I grabbed some blue yarn and made a crochet cord to use as a drawstring. Worked like a charm! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/09d8e41c-9ec0-469b-bd38-b7c3acf1da52/IMG_3993.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Pattern: For this top, I made view A of Simplicity 8994 by Mimi G. I love her patterns because they always come with sew along videos :) This top was a quick and easy sew and what I love about it is the boat neckline. It’s finished with a facing, but you could also opt to line it instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/8f972476-5777-498a-9774-81946ec28cb8/IMG_4607.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Pattern: This is view C of Simplicity 8994 by Mimi G. I followed along with Brittany J Jones who created the video tutorial for this jacket. I made my usual length changes (shortening for my height). I also drafted my own pockets because I didn’t want pocket flaps like the pattern called for (and I just really don’t like when you have to awkwardly put your hands into top-opening pockets on a jacket). I wanted the openings to be on the side, so I went off script and did my own thing. My pockets turned out huge, but ‘m not mad at them :) I found the pattern pretty easy to sew, the only part that really gave me trouble was the corners where the ribbing gets attached to the main fabric. Is it perfect? No, but I love my new jacket regardless!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/13bd77ea-0a0f-4884-b92b-05aa0fbe3c25/IMG_3419.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling: I decided to wear the shirt open this time (even though I think it looks great buttoned up as well). I happened to have a tank top that matches my boots and I thought that really pulled the look together. I also made my necklace, which is just some beads I threw on a leather chain, but I think it works. Realistically, I would probably wear flat shoes to work, but I just love it with the boots, so that’s how I’m choosing to show it off this time :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/ff8b0a67-8919-40e6-912a-4dfbb58cb409/IMG_3201.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Fabric: Main Fabric: French Terry - purchased secondhand from City Sewing Room in St. Louis Lining for hood: Polyester Satin - also purchased secondhand from City Sewing Room. I’m pretty sure the ribbing for the cuffs and hem band came from JoAnn, but I bought it years ago, so I have no idea if it’s still available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/452f3446-705a-4033-b110-800dae2af451/IMG_3406.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Pattern: McCall’s 7472 - This is my second time making this pattern. The construction is pretty easy as far as button-down shirts go. I particularly like the curved hemline. I did my best to pattern match the fabric and it turned out good, but not perfect. The design features faces that are oriented in both directions, so no matter which way I placed the pattern pieces I ended up with an upside down face somewhere. Oh well, I still like the shirt. If I remember correctly, I didn’t make any modifications to the pattern except to shorten the length in the back waist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/28ec84da-f38e-4476-8f2e-fd17dc908917/IMG_3990.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Fabric: The fabric is a light brown floral knit that I purchased secondhand from City Sewing Room in St. Louis. I love it!! It’s lightweight and has a good amount of stretch. And I have some left, so I’ll be thinking about what else to make out of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/85762da3-39b8-4cb1-81f0-ae3ae3888095/IMG_4893.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - When I wear my black boots I like that I pretty much get an unbroken line from where the black color starts on the top all the way down to my feet. Plus these boots have a heel so I feel taller. But anyway, footwear aside, I can see myself wearing this top with a variety of different bottoms so I can’t wait to try out more possibilities! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/0551dff4-55b1-48fb-b7b4-69be6db57bfc/IMG_3852.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - I don’t have a pattern or fabric to share with you for this look, but what I do have is some encouragement for you to try fabric dyeing out for yourself! Sewing skills aren’t needed (just follow the directions on the bottle) and it gives you the ability to grab thrifted pieces that may be in your size, but not your color. Since dyeing this sweater, I have dyed several other items and I just love how it refreshes my wardrobe! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/a6fcd361-55fc-4302-aac0-95e368e4bdb0/IMG_5070.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Tablecloth Skirt Tutorial! Interested in making your own tablecloth skirt? Click here for a photo tutorial :) Just a few basic sewing skills are needed and the best part is that if you like the length of your tablecloth you don’t have to hem it because it’s already been done for you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/ae30d84f-5a95-463c-9a08-ceba9074f4b9/IMG_4755.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling To pair with this top, I opted for a black wrap skirt. This one is Simplicity 8606 and I made it a few summers ago. I’m still on the fence about the boots. I like these olive green ones that I thrifted, but the color isn’t quite the same as the green in the top. And they don’t have a heel so I feel like I look extra short. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/b56a542f-9cfd-4b5d-89ec-bf2dec4accf1/IMG_4472.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling I tried out a few styling options with this jacket and I like the versatility of it. I think I prefer it with leggings and booties, but I’m not mad at with a skirt either! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/07addf87-95e3-4e0d-b9d6-eefcd9d630f7/IMG_4638.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Fabric: Front and sleeves: Brown corduroy Back and collar: Multicolored corduroy Cuffs and hem band: Black cotton ribbing harvested from a thrifted dress Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I purchased any of these fabrics, but they were definitely secondhand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/e31f162e-e871-498a-a54f-4d1d0953821f/IMG_4726.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Back view I love how well the jacket matches with my bag. This is why I hold onto my fabric remnants. You never know when a matching set idea will come to you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/4a014855-8c83-489d-97c9-41ac398a2f81/IMG_3777.jpg Blog - My Me-Made Fall Collection 2024 - Styling Once again, realistically I would probably wear flat shoes with this outfit, but I wanted to show how you can easily dress up a simple look, just by adding boots and a pair of earrings. Matching the boots to my pants is a petite styling trick to help me look taller ;) I’ve had the earrings forever, but they are still my faves. The handbag is something I whipped up a while back (no pattern used) and I used the same corduroy fabric to make a jacket for this collection which you’ll see if you keep scrolling on down :) https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/how-to-turn-a-tablecloth-into-a-skirt-beginner-friendly-thrifted-transformation monthly 0.5 2025-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/9c6c32b4-0258-45df-8d7b-63f53720cf8d/IMG_9682.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - I was lucky enough to have a big old roll of red elastic, that matched my tablecloth nicely. It’s just coincidence that it has a rippled edge. Regular elastic is fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/8492ebf0-a2e3-4514-9dcc-24786bfd40f5/IMG_9654.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - I laid mine out on my yoga mat, but any flat surface will do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/c7c389e4-9da4-45ab-9318-761bb11b9e12/IMG_9709.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - It’s time to sew your elastic to the skirt! Take your time with this step. Line up the edge of the elastic with the edge of your presser foot (or whatever seam allowance you choose). Start your stitch by stitching forward and then backstitching a few stitches. Then continue stitching forward until you go all the way around the waist. Keep the edge of the skirt even with the edge of the elastic. You will need to stretch the elastic slightly to keep it flush with the edge of the skirt waist. This is what allows it to go over your hips without falling off of your waist in the end. Remove your pins as you go and enjoy this step because you are almost done!! You may wish to use a zigzag stitch (or use a stretch thread) so your stitches don’t pop later when you stretch the waistband. However, I’m a rebel and didn’t do this and my skirt is still holding up fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/fb255bbd-d0a2-454e-848c-79846cd73ffb/IMG_9672.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - And here you can see I’ve folded it in half again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/c2f335af-794a-4ab1-928c-9f917a29bc05/IMG_9695.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - Note: I used my serger to clean up the raw edge of the waistline, but if you don’t have one, you can finish this edge with a zigzag stitch or just leave it alone. It should be fine if you cut it out with pinking shears. I used a very unscientific way to measure my elastic. I wrapped it around my waist until it was snug but not tight and cut about a half inch more than that measurement. I brought the ends of it together and sewed it them in order to create a circle. Note that your elastic should be smaller than the waist opening. From there, you need to divide the elastic into four even sections (marking them with pins) and do the same for the skirt opening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/48dadd42-ac96-48a6-8311-b37c52f6998a/IMG_9698.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - With the elastic on the outside (or what we call the right side of the fabric) match up your pins and pin the elastic to the skirt waist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/6e7ffb8f-3d8a-40b4-b93b-fed3747b538d/IMG_5070.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - The lettuce hem adds a playful touch and I didn’t have to do anything to achieve it :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/91b8e7c9-2fc5-4a3f-bb96-f5cfcc3c296b/IMG_9666.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - Here I have it folded in half once. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/0b384c35-acb9-4a09-8bc8-93d1efc4c6a4/IMG_9689.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - Using a measuring tape and chalk (or washable marker), create a curved line marking out the number that your wrote down earlier (your hip measurement divided by 6.28). Do this by anchoring the tape at the corner where the tablecloth is folded. You can anchor it with a pin or just hold it there with your fingers as you gently rotate the measuring tape from one edge of the fabric to the other, making dash markings with the chalk as you go. It’s important to make sure the tape doesn’t shift or move at the corner or you’ll get an inaccurate line. You can see here that my measurement for this one 6.5 inches. So I placed the 6.5 inch mark of the measuring tape at the corner of the fabric and rotated the tape until I had marked a curve from one side to the other. If you’re not sure about your measurement, it’s better to err on the side of caution and go smaller, rather than larger. Once you make the cut, gently try on the skirt, being careful not to stretch out the opening. If it doesn’t easily go over your hips, stop, refold it and cut away a bit more. Repeat this process until you are happy with it, but don’t cut off too much!! Also, if you don’t have a serger, I recommend cutting with pinking shears so that your project doesn’t start to unravel after the first wash. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/88cb4dd1-ff49-43af-bd70-55639a2fe000/IMG_5074.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - I didn’t time myself, but this project took around 30 minutes for me to complete. If you’re a complete beginner it will likely take longer and it’s entirely possible that it won’t turn out exactly how you want. Still, it’s totally worth it to try and create something with your own two hands! Am I sad that my skirt doesn’t have pockets? Honestly no, because I accomplished my goal of a stylish skirt in record time, but if I change my mind, I have this magical thing called a sewing machine and I’ll make it happen! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/12c62bbd-caa5-4d39-87f2-d496bd9a7564/IMG_9700.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - Once you have the initial 4 sections pinned, add a BUNCH more pins to keep the elastic in place as you sew. You will need to stretch the elastic slightly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/bd147cb3-cef0-4041-b2b9-cdc30a9da3d8/IMG_5202.jpg Blog - Tablecloth to Skirt - A Beginner Friendly Thrifted Transformation - I’m in love with how it turned out! It pairs perfectly with this sweater vest I made last year. https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/fashion-in-the-city-of-love-3g7w2-7ws9p-79xxl monthly 0.5 2023-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1690470970257-WP8RXQK1NROJ6VMSYVOT/shopping2.jpg Blog -

I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures of the actual construction process. Sometimes I get in my creative work mode and forget about EVERYTHING else, but I’ll try to remember to snap some pictures next time, because I know it can be helpful for beginners to visualize the whole process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591881805825-E4178JGFWKI3RY1EX9TD/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.13.30+AM.png Blog - Flared Skirt to Peplum Top Transformation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591881906906-7E100YNZ71SOJJ91QQ0H/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.12.37+AM.png Blog - Flared Skirt to Peplum Top Transformation https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/reflections-on-me-made-may-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591882478470-UE4VXCW47HEQ5EKBI0FX/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.33.50+AM.png Blog - Reflections on Me Made May 2019 https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/omg-i-made-a-jumpsuit monthly 0.5 2020-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591882912167-F9A95XTGNUG9L6S9L7C3/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.39.22+AM.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591882866251-X72IMP0WOUUSR4DAN4AZ/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.39.11+AM.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591882970822-EQ6MCDW2IJX86ADTZ2VX/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.39.32+AM.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591883028370-DUHGCHCWPJ369OFKQGD4/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.39.47+AM.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591883164725-SGPNMM0Q1DV8FHKFZM0U/image-asset.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591883122828-7FVPM5PVF18CQWNQDK0F/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.40.11+AM.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1591883082942-NNPD94C0I9PDT7J525JB/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+8.39.57+AM.png Blog - OMG I made a JUMPSUIT! https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/make-nine-2019-1-down-8-to-go-simplicity-8516-pants monthly 0.5 2020-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593875465776-YOMFY2LNCCMF59DZ3Y36/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.10.30+AM.png Blog - Make Nine 2019: 1 down, 8 to go!

Simplicity 8516 Pants - Fabric Used: Black stretch cotton sateen from Mood Fabrics. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened the length by a few inches, added elastic to the back waistband and left off the belt loops. I also skipped the rivets because I didn't feel like attaching them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593876140715-A5GR85GHQH2Y48LL4Z05/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.20.45+AM.png Blog - Make Nine 2019: 1 down, 8 to go! Simplicity 8516 Pants - Also, I'll say that I wish these were true skinny jeans. They feel a little bit in between "skinny" and "straight leg" to me. I like my skinny jeans to really hug my legs all the way down to my ankles and these seem a little loose below the hips, and particularly around the knees. That's an easy enough fix, I think, but I opted not to change mine since I didn't use denim this time anyway and these will serve nicely as pants for work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593876319464-JIZE19RPWHW2BZMMLR12/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.21.36+AM.png Blog - Make Nine 2019: 1 down, 8 to go!

Simplicity 8516 Pants - Here is a close up of how my zipper fly turned out. Please excuse the white pattern markings. I use a pen that isn't intended for fabric (I know, I know), so it takes a few washes to get all the markings out. I'll wash these a few more times before wearing them for the general public, but I wanted to get my blog post done while all the details are still fresh in my mindThis fly front zipper is not perfect by any means, but it's only the second one I've ever done and I'm pretty stinking proud of it ‍♀️ https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/thrifty-is-nifty- monthly 0.5 2020-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877176724-9W6P7SVAC4LTPUCRZH92/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.38.49+AM.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877290353-MKSEDI8JT2KX6M5ZNWTM/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.41.09+AM.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) - BEFORE PIC #1: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877198759-OKZ4EY6OO3TEY5PTDF5M/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.39.02+AM.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877533497-IZC6PCLSLFLHQDOMO2F0/image-asset.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) AFTER PIC #1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877645490-NPGT7EIKGFB3GQS4J6GA/image-asset.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) AFTER PIC #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877752127-GT0ZUMSU4KM94W87WG0Z/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+10.47.00+AM.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) AFTER PIC #3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593877405912-Q7NCM1QHBJ1Z99PRZ144/image-asset.png Blog - Thrifty is Nifty :) - BEFORE PIC #2: https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/myfirstevervoguepattern monthly 0.5 2020-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1589237168068-5194E97HFTVWIG0ZMMEE/IMG_9516.jpg Blog - My First Ever Vogue Pattern!

I did find it odd that the pattern had a seam going up the back like that though instead of having you cut on the fold. The instructions could have been clearer too. The process of making this one wasn't as fun as some of the other projects I've made, but I do love the final result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593901031506-G5XX2MW9ZWRQ4VUYLSCI/IMG_7747.JPG Blog - Upcycled Cardigan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593901123984-E5P5V8CYEFT05G77C0FS/IMG_7743.JPG Blog - Upcycled Cardigan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593901231301-S5Q75ESGE2CP9D5QA4DV/IMG_7745.JPG Blog - Upcycled Cardigan https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/4rouf31fj1m53k2n010xh88596sntt monthly 0.5 2020-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593900588561-LX83CMOKML6PKL3A59DG/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+5.08.34+PM.png Blog - Sorbetto top from Colette Patterns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593900553003-6C1L14B6EB5JBPTJXQ03/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+5.08.17+PM.png Blog - Sorbetto top from Colette Patterns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593900623095-OGUM408ZUIP9X38100MU/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+5.08.48+PM.png Blog - Sorbetto top from Colette Patterns https://www.learningsewmuch.com/blog/dx84qk8pinceu3nupe8jq4kpxaywhq monthly 0.5 2020-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593900281990-C3ODFFS7IUGB1MRTAGQW/Screen+Shot+2020-07-04+at+5.04.16+PM.png Blog - A learn to sew pattern.

My area of expertise is foreign languages and I’m certified to teach German and Spanish to elementary and secondary students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab7689211fff29b8cebc38/1593383576695-ZYYGZLRIQJ73SKIZGKCQ/IMG_1229.jpg About - My Passion I am very passionate about foreign languages. I love learning about other cultures and am lucky enough to have traveled to many different countries. I've also always loved music and singing and that is reflected a lot in my teaching style. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE crafting! I love all things DIY. When I got married, I made most of the decorations (including bouquets and centerpieces) myself. What's the saying? If you want it done right...lol. I’ve only been sewing for a few years, but I love that even as somewhat of a novice, there is so much that I can make! I've already been able to bless my family with handmade items that are useful and that they really seem to love. I gave my husband a necktie that I made for Christmas just a few months after receiving my sewing machine. Now, just a few years later, I’m able to make gowns, jeans, and so much more! https://www.learningsewmuch.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-06-27 https://www.learningsewmuch.com/shop-1 daily 0.75 2025-07-07
