It’s the first month of Sew My Style and I’m happy to be sharing my version of the Toaster Sweater with you today. Sew My Style is a really fun, year-long sewing project hosted by Bluebird Fabrics, with one pattern featured every month. Official registration is closed but you can still join along and sew up your own wardrobe. Get all the details here and the sewing schedule here. I didn’t want to overextend myself, so I’ll just be joining in here and there. I actually wasn’t even planning to do January but I was inspired by Sara’s lightweight, gray Toaster and seeing as I already had a similar fabric in my stash, I just had to make my own.
DIY Pajama Bottoms – Review of the Sew Over It Ultimate Pyjamas
Los Angeles is pretty much summer weather for 10 months of the year so when those 2 months of winter show up it’s a tough adjustment. My wardrobe has plenty of me-made nighttime garments for the summer months but it wasn’t until it got cold that I realized I only had one pair of pajama pants that wasn’t horribly frayed and worn out. So of course, I had to put pajamas on my 2017 Make Nine list. Pajama bottoms are one of those easy projects that even a beginner can make which makes them seem a little boring. But those boring things are often the most useful. So while I could have added another fun dress to my list, I love having a project for something that I actually really need and can use right away. Plus, because it's easy that means I already have one thing checked off my list.
