    Hey there, sewing friends! I am very excited to share my recent make. I had the opportunity to sew with one of Minerva’s amazing Core Range fabrics – a Viscose Crinkle Textured Gauze! For my pattern choice I went with the very popular McCall’s 7969 because I just had to jump on the bandwagon. Head over to Minerva to continue reading about the process. I also used my tried-and-true inseam pocket method stolen from the Tessuti Fabrics Lisa Dress instructions, also talked about here. XX

    Hand-Embroidered Lisa Dress featuring Fabric + Flow

    July 17, 2022 /

    Hello, my dear sewing friends! I have a fun little project to share. I’m very happy to announce that I have had the opportunity to sew a bit for myself over the last few weeks. There was a baby item or two sewn up of course, but my hand-embroidered Lisa dress is complete thanks to the help of the fabric store Fabric + Flow. I’ve been attempting to focus more on my own wardrobe and the planning that goes along with it. It isn’t easy. Westley is seven months old and very mobile so he keeps mama quite busy. Regardless of being a mom to a crazy active infant, the…

    Spring Sewing with Nature’s Fabrics

    April 6, 2022 /

    After a very long sewing break, relocating our family half way across the U.S., buying a home in the country, raising backyard chickens, starting a home-based business with my husband, and having a fourth child, I have finally made it back to The Mindful Sewist with a new blog post. Phew! Life has been hectic, wild and adventurous. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that the last two years have been a whirlwind of change and surprises. This is true in some way or another for most people around the world I’m sure considering the times we’re in, but looking back I am awed and grateful. Life…

    Ok, I am super happy with this new thing I made! I had to jump on here and start blogging about it ASAP. This new dress in the exact sort of thing I want to be wearing right now. Its an oversized, gathered, linen-cotton blend dream with interesting style lines and buttons! Ahhh, the good sewing fairies are smiling down on me...

    It’s been a while! Life has been busy but I’m back again sharing another finished garment. This time I got to play with some beautiful gifted fabric from Measure. I made something very cozy which is all I want to wear in our current quarantine situation in California. I’m not going to talk about Covid 19 today. Although it’s on my mind almost 100% of the time, I will be forcing myself to take a mental break from the topic as I blog it up...

    Swiss Dot Silk Chiffon Wilder Gown

    February 12, 2020 /

    Here I am again with a new make that I am so happy with. There has been lots of experimenting with new fabric types around here. Silk may be a new favorite and, surprisingly enough, was not at all as intimidating to work with as I had anticipated. Recently, I was asked to be a Measure Maker for Measure Fabrics featuring some of their very glorious salvaged designer fabrics in my makes. I could not be more thrilled about the opportunity. Today I'm sharing a dress I made with this beautiful Swiss Dot Silk Chiffon from Measure and it may be the most wispy, floaty thing I own...

    Red Axis Dress

    Well, heck. I didn't think I needed an Axis Dress and almost didn't make it. That would have been very lame because I absolutely love this pattern. This dress literally gives you a great big hug, and who doesn't need that?! Now all I need is a place to wear my new little red dress (are you listening hubby?)...

I want to encourage knitters, even beginner ones, to make a Grace for their own wardrobe. The pattern is gorgeous and you wont be disappointed...

    Patchwork Denim Jacket

    December 23, 2019 /

    Today is all about my very fun Nénuphar jacket, in english the Water Lily, made completely of denim scraps and old jeans! Oh, to say that this was a fun project is an understatement. As a finished piece my patchwork Nénuphar is visually crazy, for lack of a better word, but I just cannot stop admiring the busy patterns and colors. I guarantee you sewists out there will love the process of sewing it up...
