Sometimes it’s difficult to slow down, reflect and just be. Doing my best to soak in the outdoors as we transition from ☀️ to 🍁.

Wait, it’s the end of summer? How did that happen? ⁣

I squeezed in some last minute summer sewing and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. I’ll be sharing details on how I hacked my first Flora dress soon. ⁣

Let’s talk fabric stash for day 4 of ⁣#sewyour

Let’s talk fabric stash for day 4 of ⁣#sewyourselfsustainable
⁣
Mine is small, and that’s been intentional. This photo includes both new fabric and reusable large fabric scraps. Only 5 of these beautiful fabrics haven’t been cut into and I have plans for 4 of them that I’ll get done eventually 🤷🏼‍♀️. ⁣
⁣
When I sew, I try to plan out my projects and buy the fabric I need for that specific design. The times I’ve purchased cute fabric on sale, they’ve sat in my stash ... sometimes for years (there’s one in this photo 😉). Doing this has helped me curate pieces that work together & also helps me organize my space (because I need all the help I can get here!)⁣
⁣
I also have a few drawers filled with fabric scrap pieces that I might use eventually for something ... and a lot of those pieces went towards making fabric masks earlier this years. ⁣
⁣
If you’ve posted your fabric stash on your grid - let me know ... I’d loved to see it!! ⁣

Hey! I’m Kelsey. I’ve been sewing my clothes consistently for a little over two years now, but taught myself how to sew in high school when I wanted to recreate ready to wear looks on my own. ⁣
⁣
For the past year I’ve been working on creating seasonal capsule wardrobes. My goal is to create pieces that I want to wear all the time and that easily fit into my current closet. This helps me focus my makes and I try to be as intentional as I can about what I’m producing. I’m no perfect, but I’m slowly finding a creative process that works for me. ⁣
⁣
A little bit more about me - I live in Ohio with my husband and four year old. We’re enjoying our concentrated time together but are looking forward to one day being able to travel and explore again! These photos were taken at the end of last year at #joshuatreenationalpark 🥰⁣ (it was very cold - we were not dressed appropriately 🤷🏼‍♀️)

Have you ever started a project, realized you made

Have you ever started a project, realized you made a mistake and kept going, with fingers crossed that it would work out? ⁣
⁣
That’s me with my #joanieboatneck sweater. I accidentally skipped over a section and increased the stitches too quickly. I kept going, hoping that it wouldn’t impact the fit too much, but it did. ⁣
⁣
So it’s time to take a quick break and work on something else. I’ve already made two swatches to test out two different projects. 🙌🏻 After finishing one, I’ll come back to this one. ⁣
⁣
So the question becomes, should I knit another #lawrensonsweater in the blue/purple or jump on over to the #awholedotoflovejumper in the green 🤔. Let me know what you think in the comments below! ⁣

Fashion statement or just too lazy to change, I’ll let you decide 😅😂.⁣
⁣
⁣
This is an example of how multitasking can sometimes get the best of me. I’m working on putting together my #fallcapsulewardrobe - so while I was waiting for a report to be generated, I decided to try on this dress and top combo. ⁣
⁣
Next, I wanted to try on this pair of failed #ashjeans to see if they fit & can be stretched out. What’s wrong with them? Well, they’re not opaque enough so that’s problem 1. The thought is I might might be able to dye them, but I needed to wear them long enough to see if they’re comfortable enough (not enough stretch in the material).⁣
⁣
Well, once my report was done running, I decided to get back to work instead of changing BUT I did read that wearing pants under dresses will be a thing this fall 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣

It’s after 5 and I’m still drinking coffee (which I promptly spilled on my dress 🤷🏼‍♀️), but I stopped working to quickly take a photo. ⁣So I count that as a win!

🤞🏻 I wont regret drinking coffee ☕️ this late later! ⁣
