I turned a lot of my Pattern January designs into fabric at Spoonflower. Creating a pattern for Spoonflower is intimidating but super easy and it’s really gratifying to end up with physical items in the form of fabric swatches.

Sewing for the home: fin
So, I did not miraculously turn our apartment into a perfect, finished home in one month. I AM NOT MAGIC. All I have been told are lies. However, it is pretty much at a point where people I know and love can come over and I know they aren’t judging me. I am not where I could host, like, craft night or something yet because I was raised a certain way. And that way means that a house with a pile of unshelved books and not enough hangers for the…
Focus Month: Sewing for the home
Whew. This has already been quite a month, with moving and everything. But I am still doing my focus month thing, it’s just sort of morphed this month.

I both like and loathe the pattern I came up with. It makes me want to try Spoonflower again. What I do know is that I like the bottom of the jackety thing, there are aspects of this design that I will probs incorporate again. Problems: Over-designed? Skirt length: ungood. Maybe waist definition would have been good.…
