I shared pics of my new snuggly #FibreMoodJo last week and forgot to talk about the #GingerJeans I paired them with!

These are one of my favorite pants makes because I took the time to hand embroider the pockets 😍. Unfortunately, they are a TINY bit snug because I used vintage cotton for the pocket stays and waistband facings that I did NOT prewash 🤦🏼‍♀ ... but luckily I've been training my tail off so I can still shimmy into them ok. 🤪

This outfit says so much about what I love most about making my own clothes. I'm no longer limited to what the stores think are "seasonally appropriate" colors! Because you know what!? Bright colors and fun prints make me happy year round! And sometimes all you need in the middle of a dreary winter is some sunshine 🌞. (Will update in December if this theory is indeed effective 😜)

HEY YALL!!! I'm so excited to show yall my first go at a Tri Kit!!!! 🏊🏼🚴🏼🏃🏼‍♀

If you follow my stories, you know that I finished my first triathlon back in August! It may be obvious but I've become a little obsessed with the sport 😬 and have my next one in a couple of weeks!

One thing I learned really quickly is that Triathlon gear can get EXPENSIVE ... especially if you want to look cute. A few posts ago I talked about my lightbulb moment to DIY my tri suit and this is the first draft and I am in LOVE!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I really feel like I am on the right track with the patterns I chose. The shorts are the #DuathlonShorts by @fehrtrade, and the top is the #Axis Tank by @sophie_hines. For the first run, I made both patterns as-is using some poly spandex, power mesh, and swim fabric from my stash. I tried to do a booty pad using some fusible pellon foam I found at Walmart but it did NOT work (major diaper butt situation 😝). So these are pad-less for the moment. I did add 3/4" elastic in the hem of the top and legs for support and stability.

I already have a few adjustments in mind and some hacking planned for the top but I was too excited about it not to share my first draft with yall! I'll be doing a full youtube once I get to my final kit talking about each iteration so stay tuned!

It’s time for another @fibremood issue!!! For

It’s time for another @fibremood issue!!!

For this issue I chose to make the #FibreMoodJo because last fall I noticed I needed to beef up my casual/comfy/cute tops selection AND I’ve been needing to make something with this ADORABLE French terry c/o @iseefabric but the 100+ degree days have not been inspiring me 🥵.

I love this simple little cropped sweatshirt pattern! It came together so quickly. I decided the front needed a little something so I of course added a jumbo breast pocket (for snacks and chapstick duh) in opposite stripe. To all my #PetiteSewist friends: I chopped about 2” off the hemline!

More on this make later in the week!

I wanted to make a wearable muslin of the @sophie_

I wanted to make a wearable muslin of the @sophie_hines #AxisTank to see what the fit was like before I cut into my activewear fabric to make my first tri-kit (two-piece triathlon outfit).

I had some of this @blackbirdfabrics retro stripe jersey and LOOK HOW STINKIN CUTE this little cropped tank is!? 😍😍

I'm in love with this pattern already. It comes together so quickly, the silhouette is super cute, and the armscye does not strangle my armpits (if you've been following me a while you know this is a #1 pattern pet peeve of mine).

I've actually already made my first test run of a tri-kit with a few adjustments to make this pattern more activewear appropriate but today you just get this little teaser 😜.

The #AudiePlaydress pattern tester roundup is up on the blog! I'm so excited to share all these amazing makes with you!

As always, my testers did an amazing job putting their own spin on my latest pattern!

The pattern testing process can sometimes feel a bit grueling to me, working out all the little tweaks and details is quite monotonous and at times mind-boggling. But it's not a process I take lightly. I'm so thankful for a supportive community that is willing to help me along the way to creating quality sewing patterns. 💛
