I wanted to share the ✨ 3 things ✨ that I did differently with this Kalle Shirt that make me love it so much more. So let's get into it: 🌷 This was my first time using Tricot Interfacing in a shirt, and it is fantastic. 🙌 I used the same interfacing to mend some jeans, and it's just so nice to use and fuses so much better. This collar turned out really nice, and I love that it's not papery feeling like the interfacing that I usually use. 🌷 When I was getting ready to sew the collar stand, I marked the line that I was supposed to sew along right on the fabric. This might sound dumb, but I have such a hard time getting both curves of the collar to be the same. One is usually good and the other is totally wonky/squarish. So, I tried this and it worked so much better! 🌷 The two adjustments I made were to gather the back along the yoke, and change the hem to be less drastic. For the hem, I used the #CheyenneTunic pattern and literally just lined up the shoulders and made it the same length that I make my Cheyennes. It worked out so well, and I love it! . #KalleShirtDress #KalleShirt #SewCreativePhotos #SewRTWStyle 
I know that I technically have tulips on my shirt, but I had to put these gorgeous peonies from my yard to good use. All for the fun of #SewCreativePhotos. 💕 . #KalleShirtDress #KalleShirt 
I'm SO excited about today's blog post because it's a roundup of my 3 refashions from May. 🙌 This last one in the post might just be my favorite! 😍 This is the Kalle Shirt (up to 63" hip) that I was able to cut out of a skirt that wasn't getting worn very much. I love this fabric SO much, and I'm so happy to have made it into something more realistic for me to wear. I'll be sharing more photos later, but you can also see more on the blog today! 🖤 . Swipe to see the comparisons of what they looked like before.✨ Which one is your favorite? Does this make you think of something in your closet that could use a change? . #KalleShirt #KalleShirtDress #CrisWoodSewsEnvelope #ReetaShirtDress #ReetaDress 
This Cris Wood Sews Envelope got a little bit of an update since I'm not nursing as much anymore, and it has gotten pretty neglected as a dress. I saw @calexan4 make one as a top, and I saw someone else wear a RTW shirt that looked similar to this too -- so I decided to give it a try. And I like it! It will get much more wear this way, and I'm glad, because I love this color so much. 😍 I removed the front zipper and sewed it back together. Then I just cut and re-hemmed. Pattern is all-size accessible, and fabric is a mid weight linen from @makersfabric in the color 'watermelon'. 🍉 . #CrisWoodSewsEnvelope #FreeRangeSlacks 
I finally blogged about these Free Range Slacks! 🙌 I made these *mid rise*, although the pattern is high rise, and they are so much more comfortable for me. I shared my changes in the blog post if you're interested. (Pattern goes up to 65" waist) I'm wearing them with my Envelope Dress (all sizes) that I cut into a top, and channeling @calexan4's amazing style. 😉 Fabrics are both mid weight linens from @makersfabric. . #CrisWoodSewsEnvelope #FreeRangeSlacks 
Sewing isn't very glamorous sometimes.👖 🧵 The last time I mended these pants for Dallas, they sat in a pile for about 6 months, so this time I was determined to not let them sit that long. I don't know how much longer these will last since they're wearing at the inner seam, but this will work for now. 1st photo: after mending ( outside) 2nd photo: before mending (inside) 3rd photo: after mending (inside) This is my first time using tricot interfacing for mending jeans, and it worked really well. It's softer and seems like it melds to the pants a little bit better than the other stuff I've been using from JoAnn's for years. #JeansMending
