DIY – Cowl Neck Top Sewing Tutorial with Contrasting Sleeves
Today, I’m ready to try something new and I’m very excited about it. Today we will be sewing a cowl neck top. A cowl necked shirt has a draped neckline that hangs gracefully either in the front, back, or both. I’m excited about it because making the pattern will be a whole new challenge. I can’t wait to see how a three-dimensional feature, like a hanging draped neckline, plays out on a two-dimensional pattern.
So, onward we go!
DIY – Shirt Refashion Tutorial: His to Hers Button Down Shirt
Today we’re going to do another quick refashion project as I’m still on new baby mode. My husband was getting rid of a plaid button down shirt because it had a teeny tiny hole, so I swooped in and claimed it for myself. Today we’re going to do a his to hers shirt refashion project with it. I’ve been wanting to do this type of clothing refashion for a while and this was the perfect opportunity to give it a go. I’ll also patch up that little hole, but I won’t cover it here because I don’t think you need help in that department. 🙂

Loving my new top!
This tunic fits snuggly around your belly.

35 weeks!
Spring is just around the corner (I hope!) and I’ve got spring clothes on my mind. I’m still very much pregnant, but I want to try and make something that I can adapt and wear after the baby comes as well. So today, we will be making a back tie maternity tunic. It will be a simple tunic with a detail of a tie on the back neckline. A little comfy, a little airy, a little springy? I hope so because that is what I am going for! 🙂
My DIY Spring Wardrobe from 2017
Spring is almost through here in upstate New York and I am pleased to say that I had a rather productive one!  I got to sew up some pieces that I had been thinking about for a really long time and it feels so good to finally be able to wear them.  I caught up with the talented photographer, Dave Blenis, recently and got to show some of my newest sewing pieces off.  Read through and check out my homemade spring wardrobe pieces from 2017.  After wearing them for some time, I have some new insight into them that I’m going to share here.  From my Red Riding hoodie to my embroidered Bohemian tunic to my Mad Men inspired skirt… Enjoy!
Also, as a side note, my husband enjoyed this spring wardrobe photo shoot because he got to take a brief vacation from being my Instagram Husband.  🙂
