We Make A Home đ
Emilio & I have launched a Youtube channel to share our house projects and gardening and woodworking and art and baking and foraging and all the stuff that makes us feel alive!! Watch the whole process of our six month house build now ⨠(and please watch with the sound on because I guess this song was written for this video)

(For the record, I am in no way tired of the fish bags! đ That sewing pattern is available now and always đŤś)
I am SO excited to finally announce this new sewing pattern! The Fly Away Crossbody has three views: a Chicken, a Duck, and a Songbird! I have so much more to share about each view and more samples to tease & share but for now, just a big excited moment of joy to show you! Coming September 1!

#memademay26 Day 12! This is an outfit repeat with a vest added because I love the color combo & itâs just so wearable. It continues to be a chilly May & I am using that opportunity to keep wearing these sweaters! This one has grown on me so much because it just feels comfortable/everyday/unprecious

Iâm getting in the #memademay spirit!! Day seven is a Ruby Vest, Rise Turtleneck, and Helios Trousers! Itâs chilly today, so Iâm layering up. I improv quilted this vest from scraps as a pattern tester while I was editing @newsongquiltingco âs book (Modern Improv Quilting). It doesnât use one of her techniques, but I learned so much from her & she is my favorite improv quilter!

#memademay Day 6! Wearing #adamspant and #vestno2springedition and reflecting on just how perfectly these Adams pants fit meâI really would like to have another pair in my closet (though I do already have two) and/or I am definitely excited to make more hard pants! I have never layered this vest with a short sleeve either, but itâs great for spring âď¸
#memademay26
A #memademay fit to match my new Sailor Slippers! I am more delighted by these finished slips than I thought I would be (even though I was also extremely excited to make them). They are fast and easy to knit (if you actually work on them đ) and then the felting is very exciting! I knit these as a buddy project with @kristinethebean16 and letâs just say long distance crafting with friends is where itâs at!! I used the recommended Drops Snow yarn!

I sewed up a new batch of undies over the weekend! I have been wearing these memade, elastic-free cotton undies since 2022, and I donât think I am ever going back! I made a tutorial back then that I will reshare in my stories (even though it makes me lol). I redrafted the pattern pieces this time, but the sewing process is the same! I was worried that these wouldnât have a long life without elastic, but itâs not the case at all, so I knew it was time to fill up the drawer (PS the wavy seams are intentional on these guys! I stretch the ribbing in the place of elastic)
This ribbing is from @lyricalfabrics (someone stop me from buying more ribbing!!!!) #memadeunderwear #sewingtutorial #memade

I am even more in love with my second pair of @indigoindigo.no #iiheliostrousers than the first! If you can spot the dirt in these photos itâs because Iâve already been wearing them to work outside. They are made with @blackbirdfabrics nylon taslon, and itâs my favorite fabric Iâve bought in a long time! I got three colors (and wish I had a fourth tbh). It is water resistant and great for gardening! I made the same size (2), view C, included pockets, and I added additional elastic cord and stoppers around the hems so they are extra balloon-y #balloonpants #hikingpants #sewingpants
