Flowy Teal Pants

My mom and I made these pants together when I visited recently! Each leg is very wide so they are loose and flowy which is fun for dancing in. We had to adjust the pattern a bit to make the crotch seam fit correctly, which was a fun challenge.

Flowery Dress

I had a lot of fun making this flowery dress! I made the pattern by tracing an existing knit dress I love and adjusting it. The scoop back with straps is my own design, and I also made the skirt longer and fuller than the reference dress.

I made the skirt longer and fuller so it has a nice twirl for dancing

Chalk Bag

This weekend I made myself a custom chalk bag! I created the pattern based on ideas from many different DIY chalk bag tutorials online. My bag includes a pocket, 2 loops for hanging, and elastic bands for attaching a brush.

Regency Era Dancing Dress

My friend Hazel and I spent a weekend together sewing a regency era dress for English Country Dancing. I’d never made a gathered cap sleeve like this one before. Such a fun weekend project, and it’s very fun to dance in!
