Another photo from my last blog post featuring the Another photo from my last blog post featuring these pretty rust knits because we cute. 👯‍♀️
My wardrobe is seriously lacking and I’m hoping My wardrobe is seriously lacking and I’m hoping to find some time to sew for myself especially since #memademay2022 is upon us and the abundance of #sewspo it brings.

There is a gaping hole in my wardrobe where wearable summer dresses should be. I managed to finish this one just in time for my birthday a few days ago (that I didn’t really celebrate but wore it anyway😂.) I would love another version, maybe a midi without the scallops. Thoroughly enjoyed the process of sewing a lined dress and the little precise details in this #sewingpattern.

The #carteronesie by @edgewaterave is my favorite swimsuit to date, with some tweaking of course. This comes with a video tutorial and it’s reversible. Made using scraps from my maternity swimsuits I posted about a few months back.🤍

Sometimes motherhood looks like Sunday’s spent s Sometimes motherhood looks like Sunday’s spent sewing, in your bathrobe, your husband’s boxers, your fuzzy slippers, and the same braid you’ve worn for three days straight, disorderly and happily, around frequent nursing breaks and snacks. ✌️❤️ #momlife #sewingmom

    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…

    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...

    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...

    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?)...

    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...
