Summer shorts: Essex and Interweave Chambray.
It's been a toasty summer--not that I'm complaining--I prefer the heat over the cold any day. But because of that, I can never have too many pairs of shorts. It's what I live in, and I thought it'd be ...
Scout tee in Doewide.
This is another garment that's been on my to-sew list for a while. It's the Scout tee by Grainline Studio--a popular top that I've seen many people wear and many different versions of. It's a ...
My many Mercer tunics.

A new Collection quilt.
Spoiler Alert: I've been on a making binge lately. In all ways and with all things. Does that ever happen to you? A few weeks ago, I looked in to my closet and felt completely sick of ...
Spoonflower swatch shirt.
I'm working on refining my summer wardrobe staples, and one thing that I know is that cotton lawn will be a big part of that equation. This is why I eagerly said yes to trying out the new cotton lawn ...

Archer Button Up in Mammoth Flannel.

Loving the Linden by Grainline Studio.
Oh, the Linden. It's good. And I've made many. It started with one, that quickly became two...and now I have six, plus a massive pile of knit fabric that I've been ...
Doe fabric accessories.
To wrap up on Doe clothes week, here are some accessories. Two scarves... Although I've actually made three so far (one was given away without properly photographing it...typical.) ...
Doe City Gym Shorts.
I just had to make some Doe drawers. Had I not had such a full summer of teaching and preparing for Quilt Market, I easily could have let myself whip up a ridiculous number of these City ...
Fabric dying with Kim Eichler-Messmer and making a dyed-Doe tank with it.
A couple of months back when I was in Kansas City, I was lucky to be able to do some fabric dying with my friend Kim. In addition to being a talented lady who is fun and easy to be around, she ...
Doe Dress and Doe Pencil Skirt.
Continuing with Doe clothes week... It's time for a dress and a skirt. The dress that I made is something that I frankensteined from Vintage Vogue V9000 and the Deer and Doe Belladone ...
Summer Makes: City Gym Shorts.

I'm feeling quite refreshed after taking a break. I had my computer turned off for at least a solid week, which is nothing short of a miracle. I did sneak a moment here and there on my ipad, but ...
