(like the rod stewart song)
i'm an elder millennial living in the bay area who loves dark beer, the environment, and sewing for the tiny humans in my life.
so our offical wedding hashtag is #theredwoodweddingofmaggieandvictor and on loveauntmaggie it's #auntmaggiegetsmarried. But if I'm being honest these nuptials would better be summed up with something else all together: #putafernonit
we have a new addition to the family! meet charlotte, maya's new doll.
I spent much of the weekend inside embossing names on our invitation envelopes. Yep embossed names on wedding invitations are now a thing, here is how I did it:
This past year my favorite birthday present was a tie between:
- the very satisfying game of thrones season finale
- the plant recipe book by baylor chapman that victor got me
okay so step one in wedding planning adventure: decide on a venue and date.
so victor and i are getting married. which means for the next few months sewing will take a back seat to all the wedding crafts and creativity. (no really i want to do all. the. crafts.)
what's the vision for this thing? so glad you asked!
so, not to brag or anything, but my parents have the best yard in Ann Arbor.
today we are talking about inseam pockets.
a type of of set-in pockets, inseam pockets are ones where the pocket bag is sewn into an existing seam, usually the side seam.
today we're talking about a type of pockets very common in adult clothing: the front hip pocket.
more about sleeves today, specifically my favorite types of sleeves for little girls: cap and flutter sleeves.
more sewing for skills today as we talk about my favorite trim: ribbon!
more sewing for skills today and I talk about another trim technique: flat piping!
too much of a good thing? rubbish.
for the holidays victor asked me to put together a wish list of things his family could get me. one of the items i listed was three yards of this beautiful bee print from the cotton + steel mustang collection.
