Ok friends… if you saw my stories yesterday then

Ok friends… if you saw my stories yesterday then you know my husband and I spent the day reconfiguring my office.

He did the building and moving while I did the rest of the things and I’m quite excited about the results. We added an additional bookshelf, replaced an older one and I was able to pull out fabrics from under my cutting table and put them out so I can see.

My mirror got taken out and put into our sitting room across the foyer and that works for me though I kinda miss it. I redid my desk space so there’s room to create and work.

Overall, my office feels way more balanced and I’m excited to create in it!!!

Serving up a little shoulder today!

This was my tester version of the @petitestitchery Hibiscus body suit. I NEVER wear it because I’m like “where am I going??” And today I’m wearing it downstairs to work 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

I love my shoulders and off the shoulder tops. You won’t catch me in a cold shoulder situation but I love an off the shoulder one!

I used an @artgalleryfabrics cotton lycra from @fabricdotcom. It has suuuuch great recovery to it. Now I feel like I need to make a million more! ⁣

These pants don’t get the play they deserve.

The pattern is the Palazzo from @patternsforpirates and they garnered some hate on TikTok because of my FUPA that I was really self-conscious wearing them. But this fabric from @joann_stores is some of my favorite (evidenced by my matching phone case).

Let this be your reminder to not allow the short-sightedness, hate and insecurities of others dictate how you feel about yourself and what you wear. You don’t have to have what society deems as the perfect body to wear what you want.

You’re beautiful and deserving.

2021 brought me some new skills (hello @berninausa button foot) and I’m ready to continue stepping out of my comfort zone. Here are my sewing goals for the year in addition to my normal pieces I’ll make:
• @closetcorepatterns Kalle
• @criswoodsews Parasol too
• @munaandbroad Shacket
• @helens__closet Pona
• @fridaypatterncompany Patina blouse + Heather blazer
• @amynicolestudio Audie Playsuit
• @moodfabrics Briar Top + Clark coat

I’m almost done with my first quilt top. I need to add borders but I also have quilting goals for next year:
• 2 @seekatesew quilts
• @mrsporfiria Dottie quilt
• 2 @satomi_quilts patterns

I also want to try @beautejadore’s puffy sleeve patterns since I LOVE a dramatic sleeve and I have a pattern from @myiviye that I want to finish too.

What sewing goals do you have this year?

Habari Gani!

Today is the first day of Kwanzaa which is the final holiday of 2021. I’ve been enjoying my family during this time and trying to be more intentional about all the things. But my big brother is heading back home today so I got dressed to see him off.

I love the wardrobe that I’ve been working to create with cohesive pieces. All fabric here is from @ssefabrics.

What sewing goals do you have for the new year?
