DIY Embroidered Christmas Stockings

DIY Embroidered Christmas Stockings

Hello sew-friends! Today, I have a simple variation on my Christmas Stocking sewing pattern. Last year, I found two quilted pillow shams and I decided to upcycle them into personalized Christmas stockings. The shams were a plain white color and I decorated them with freehand embroidery and chain stitched names.

Hello sew-friends! I hope that you are doing well. Today, I have another finished make for you. This dress has a very long and winding road to completion. It was at times frustrating and at other times exhilarating. In the end, I would give myself a B+ for effort, an A for determination and a B- for quality. Honestly, this grading might be a smidge generous. I wish it was an A+ on all counts, but I'm also totally ok with the fact that is beautiful dress is NOT perfect.

DIY Oversized Button Down Shirt — Vintage Stretch & Sew 1504

Hello sew-friends! Today I have a finished make to share with you—an oversized button down shirt that I have been wearing a ton since I finished it a few months ago. This is a 90s style Big Shirt with slightly dropped shoulders, long sleeves and a loose fit. I love this style because the classic button down details make it look polished but the oversized fit is super comfy and breezy. I love wearing a big shirt in the summer because the lightweight fabric isn't too warm but it provides coverage from the sun. And I love how it looks paired with shorts.
