Hi, I’m Heather!

I love to sew and I love my family. I sew my own clothing, I teach others how to sew, and I’m a self-proclaimed fabric fondler. Learn more about my sewing journey.

Today is probably one of the last warm days of the year, and I enjoyed it by wearing this lovely #tencel #cheyennetunic. I made this one a couple of weeks ago. I used to be hard on myself about being behind in sewing for the season, but one of the true joys is starting a season (next summer) with an almost newly finished item (this shirt). Now instead of being mad at myself for always being behind on what I want to sew, I'm giving my future self a gift and that future self always thanks my past self.
The lovely light blue tencel is from @stylemakerfabrics along with the fuzzy white sweater fabric I used for this #blackwoodcardigan.
The cardigan pattern is by @helens__closet and the shirt pattern is by @heyjunehandmade. The pants are from @thredup because I'm slow at sewing jeans!

The last costume I made for this Halloween is a skeleton mermaid. My daughter was only picking costumes that I'd made in the past and didn't fit her. So I took and chance and made this costume hoping she would like it. Luckily, she LOVES it!
I refashioned a women's dress for the base and then added iron-on vinyl for the details. Using @officialcricut products and dress from @savers_thrift.

We started reading the Harry Potter books to our oldest last year, and he has really enjoyed it. He chose to be Harry Potter for Halloween and I was happy to oblige. I only made the time and used clothing from his closet!
We tried convincing him to be Malfoy because of his hair but Harry Potter is cooler.
The fabrics were all given to me or thrifted!

I visited @harmonyprovo for the first time this summer and fell in love with this gorgeous quilted knit. I loved the color and the texture, and I knew it would make the coziest sweatshirt.
Well, I finally sat down and made the #halifaxhoodie, and I was right. It's a dream!
What I've learned about myself is that I like solids with texture, and I use the same few patterns a thousand times. I can't count how many Halifax's I've made over the years.
I'm wearing a #halifaxhoodie by @heyjunehandmade in fabric from @harmonyprovo. I'm also wearing #ashjeans by @megannielsenpatterns in fabric from @indie_sew.

My daughter has been requesting to be a marshmallow for Halloween for months. I suspect that she thought I couldn't make it. But I made it and it's the costume I'm most proud of!
Instead of making her big, white, and fluffy, I made her as a marshmallow being roasted on a stick. I love the fire crown and the spray paint toasting on the marshmallow.
She loves the costume which is a win for me!

Ive lived in this house for 2.5 years and I've had this sewing set up with IKEA furniture for 6 months and I'm finally blogging about it. I kept waiting for it to be done with pictures on the wall and it being really clean. But I sew all the time and this is the best it's going to get!
IKEA isn't always the most affordable option but it's accessible, and I'm really happy with this set up at the moment! Read about each detail on the blog!

I just put out all our Halloween decorations and this felt haunted house is already getting played with. My kids love this Halloween toy, and I love that they have something to inspire their imagination.
I cut out all the pieces with my #cricutmaker and then sewed it together.
