My #sewingrebel ways got me in some trouble last week when I decided I could ignore some notches and just wing it (I couldn't 🙄). MANY swipes of the seam ripper later and I was so annoyed with myself.

... will I change my ways? ... Probably not 🤦🏼‍♀🤷🏼‍♀🤪

For everyone who gets me... you'll find sewing rebel necklaces in my shop 💛. Available in silver, gold, and rose gold.

@mar.makes.things looks sooo snazzy in this fun #audieplaysuit. The fabric is ecovero twill from @blackbirdfabrics which I've been dying to try! Clearly it looks great with this pattern!

Okay so I miiiiggghhtt need to be reeled in with my fabric purchases lately. But I couldn't resist this adorable linen-look pinstripe from @athriftynotion a couple of weeks ago! And yes I have a plan for it and yes it's actually a business-related project so that makes it ok right?

How lucky am I to get to give this handsome boy aw

How lucky am I to get to give this handsome boy away at his wedding back in April!? @ryancpowell1 you made a dashing groom (literally I think the cleanest I've ever seen you 😜), and I'm so proud to be your big sister. I know mom was looking down on you just beaming from ear to ear wishing she was walking in my shoes that day. 🥰💛

Both my younger siblings are now married to their soul mates which makes this older sister feel very happy 🥰 and very old 👵🏼. 🤪

P.s. What am I wearing?? Why that's view B of the #audieplaysuit #audieplaydress expansion pack coming out this summer!

A little sneaky peek of a new make out of vintage

A little sneaky peek of a new make out of vintage fabric with the sweetest little vintage button & button loop. 😍

I don't remember where I got this fabric and I really wasn't sure what I would make with it but this is definitely a pattern + fabric match made in heaven 💛.

More coming soon!

Oh hi there!!

It's been a while since I really introduced myself and I have a BUNCH of new followers so let's get to know one another! 🤗

I'm Amy, the pattern maker, sewing blogger, happy dancer, and wear-all-the-hats-er here at Amy Nicole Studio. I originally learned how to sew in home ec in seventh grade but didn't really pick it up till college when I was working in the costume shop as part of my curriculum studying theater arts at U of H. I became obsessed, bought my first sewing machine on layaway at Walmart and frequented @goodwillintl for table cloths and old dresses to cut up and make into something new. Due to a very bad first experience with a Big 4 pattern, I HATED working with patterns and mostly just draped on myself or laid down on top of the fabric and traced around my body (...yes I really did that 🤦🏼‍♀😬😂). After college I moved to NY to start auditioning, quickly realized selling myself is NOT my strong suit, and decided to go back to school to study fashion design at FIT. I didn't even get in the first time I applied y'all! But I didn't give up. Studying there was SO much fun and really transitional for me. I realized what I loved most wasn't the design process but the technical drafting side. Around this time I also discovered the indie pattern scene through brands like @grainlinestudio and @colettepatterns. It was like something clicked into place. These folks were changing up the sewing pattern game and I knew I had something to offer. In 2017 I launched my first pattern, the #pattipocketskirt! 6 patterns later, it hasn't always been easy but it is definitely my absolute passion.

And fun fact: this isn't my full-time job y'all (yet)! My husband and I run @pioneerbbqtx in our small south Texas town. We have spent the last 4 years renovating a farmhouse built in 1930 (#hnsfarmhouse). And when I'm not sewing, drafting, bbq-ing, or snuggling with @banjoandbuttons you can find me reading, baking, knitting, or practicing my guitar (very badly 🙃) with a cocktail on the porch.

All this is to say I'm so happy you're here supporting my small biz!

Introduce yourself below and tell me, what's the first pattern you ever sewed?
