 Hi you guys! Happy March! Spring is near! I can feel it as you can tell by my little dress that I'm wearing today. Even the dress that I wore in my or the jumpsuit that I wore in my makes video for February. Like I'm transitioning. I'm just going to if I have to will it through my wardrobe I will will the spring temperatures to come. I will will the sun to come earlier and stay in later and just bring me all that spring energy the renewal and the just positivity that I need in my life right now. And that is also my mindset with all of that is also very reflective in my plans for this month as well. I know I said I wouldn't do this but I have a lot of plans. I'm really trying to keep like rain them all in but I just have a lot going on this month so I hopefully am gonna have tons of energy be able to maintain this positive energy and get it all done but let me show you what I have planned for this month. Okay first of all our Sew Together 22 pattern for March is the Petite Stitchery Remy Sweater. It's this really cool crew neck or turtleneck drop shoulder kind of a bigger oversized sleeve sweater with all these different options for the hem. You can do this like curved gathered hem you can do vertical gathers lots and lots of options which is why I have a lot of ideas for this pattern. I think I'm definitely going to want to make more than one version possibly a version that doubles as like wear it out on the streets like that athleisure kind of thing where you can lounge in it but you can also go run errands in it too and you don't feel like a total slob but for this initial version I am going to make something that in my mind is going to be a little bit more just stay at home because this fabric I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this just doesn't feel like anything that I would want to wear out. I got it when I was in Montreal what three years ago at this point I saw it I loved it right and I knew I wanted to make like a sweatshirt type thing with it and then I got it home and it's just sat in my stash ever since and I think it's because I don't envision myself wearing this like what do I wear it with jeans like okay but then it feels I don't know it just feels not like me and so I'm like you know what this is the perfect project to use this fabric for because worst case scenario is I just wear it around the house and it's still like a cute comfy cozy situation that I don't feel like you know embarrassed to answer the door in um and kind of works as a wearable muslin that way the project doesn't turn out for some reason which I can't imagine why it wouldn't fit wise the pattern's not an issue so I don't I can't imagine why it wouldn't work out but for some reason if it doesn't it's not like I am like married to this fabric and so so so in love with it so this is the fabric I'm going to be using um they all petite stitchery also has a free jogger pattern which is like a yoga pant um jogger pant combo um and if I have enough they have like that pattern has well I guess all pant patterns have multiple length shorts bermuda capri full length some of them have cobs some of them don't um whatever I have left of the fabric I'm going to try and whip out a pair of bottoms to have like a matching set which feels more intentional to me especially if it's out of the same fabric um this fabric just feels feel pajamas I don't know this I don't this fabric just confusing to me I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around exactly what it should be but I don't even remember what fabric it is oh it's just a jersey I think all this time I thought it was sweatshirt fleece so that just goes to show you I I'm lost so this is what it's going to be final answer and we're gonna get this out of my stash and hopefully have something cute to wear around the apartment all right next up we have where should I go next let's go for the dog stuff since y'all seem to love that so much in the uh last month's makes video so I talked about making them little t-shirts I even showed you biscuit wearing the original t-shirt that I had made so this is the pattern quick so four three eight two all right quick so patterns go on sale at joann a lot but regardless every sales period I feel like quick so is on sale for like two dollars sometimes one dollar but um mostly two dollars anyways you can grab this pattern I think the last time quick so had a dollar sale I just went through their entire collection the whole all the drawers I didn't even look at the book I just went through all the drawers and picked out all the pet patterns like I have a bunch of pet patterns so I want to do that out of scraps that I have left over from June and Lou from the Love Notions tranquil sleep set that I made because I think it would be cute if we all matched so that's one thing these are super quick and easy to whip up I just got to figure out sizing I know biscuits size because like I said she's wearing one honey has the same body measurements as biscuit but not the same neck measurement so we might need to size up for her I'm not sure but we'll figure it out right it can't be that hard um anyway so yeah just a little t-shirt for them I mean maybe I can make one out of that first floral too if you know five scraps of that the next project okay so um there's this fabric line that was said to me I'm gonna be telling you guys more about it when I show you kind of like the clothes that I made the little um treat pouch that I made and when this gets finished as well so I can tell you guys more about this fabric line then like in a week or so um but it is so so so cute I think it's called off the leash um and it has so many different prints in it but this one I'm using this like line drawing one for the lining and this one's so cute with all these different kinds of dogs on it for like the main fabric and here's my wild idea so honey is an ESA she is my emotional support animal which means I can take her to stores that you normally can't take dogs for me that really only means like I've taken her to goodwill with me to target once she doesn't come a lot but when I need that extra comfort my anxiety is like super super high she can come with me most other places will allow dogs like did you know you can bring a dog to Joanne's did you know you can bring dogs obviously to pet smart or any pet store so if I do that I wanted to have something to make the experience better for her because when I took her with me the first time I put her in the buggy right or a cart what do you guys call it we I call it a buggy I guess I'm southern I don't know and you know how it has the holes for the baby's legs to go through um and so she kept kind of like sliding around because it's like that plastic seed and I could just tell it was cold like she didn't love it too much so I saw this pattern recently and I thought to myself this feels so silly to say out loud I thought to myself okay I can make this little buggy what do they even call it they don't have a description but this little buggy cover and I could just not sew the leg parts right like here's the pattern line drawing I could just not cut out those holes in the middle and have just like a full buggy cover that honey can sit in or sometimes biscuit tube she comes with me um with us to like pet smart or whatever it is and they will be more comfortable and not slide around a whole bunch and it's kind of cleaner and they won't slide through the little leg holes for the baby so that's my plan with this I think it's going to be really fun getting the video for this is going to be hysterical um you're just going to have to tune into the video just to see kind of them trying to model and hopefully participate in me getting this uh video done so that's the idea I have for the girls just little t-shirts and the buggy cover which is so extra and awesome and I'm excited to try it out I think it's a good idea though for those of you with dogs you put in the buggies do you have a cover what do you think is that a good idea let me know in the comments um next up okay let's talk about the sew along we are making mccalls 8 1 2 1 do not be alarmed by the glitteriness of this jacket it really is just a standard moto jacket with lots of really fun details with zippers and all that jazz it's nicole miller pattern okay here's the fabric that I got for it um it is like a cotton um sort of like a brushed cotton that I got at joanne and I put a lot of thought into what fabric I wanted to use for this moto jacket I definitely considered the usual suspects like leather corduroy denim all that kind of stuff and I just thought it would be so cool to do something a little bit preppy kind of juxtaposed with that you know the the edgy vibe of a moto jacket so I'm going with this I think it's going to be super cool and super fun and green for march which was kind of unintentional but then I got this lining to go with it as well so we're going for like a whole green vibe and don't worry if you're stressing about what fabric to get for your version of the sew along I'm going to be doing a whole video soon like maybe next week um I call it episode zero where it's like all the prep work for your pattern so we are going to talk about fabric I went to joanne and took like actual video of different fabrics that they have that are available they both got the zoomies and they're going crazy like just chasing after each other it's like an epic game of dog tag um so I've got some ideas for fabrics um maybe some that are a little bit outside the box as well so if you're thinking about like going around like I did where it's not super obvious of a choice tune in for that video I've got information on sizing fit all the notions that you need all of that stuff so don't stress about it if you don't how all that stuff yet we'll get there trust me episode zero is coming but that is my plan for the moto jacket I am cautiously very excited about it in my head it's going to be amazing um but there's always a chance that like that fabric just is not right for it but I genuinely think it's going to be okay even I don't know oh isn't that fun okay then I told you I had a lot it's just I think the new season I think that's what happens the new season comes and I just get so excited about all the new patterns that just came out and all the ideas are flowing and the energies up and all of that so either way you guys know that when vogue released their early spring patterns I flipped for this pattern vogue 8172 absolutely love the circle skirt fullness of it all the drapiness of it all the print mixing of it all so I tried to shop my stash but that takes a lot of fabric and your fabric must be wide it must be wide so I either would have to cut in single layers and need twice the fabric that I have or find a fabric that's super wide and you know be able to cut it in pairs like we normally do so didn't have anything here went to joanne didn't love anything at joanne so I went online and went to fabric comm this is what I got um and I'm not taking them out of the bags maybe this is another question for you guys so amazon owns fabric comm right so when I put all the stuff in my fabric comm order I didn't have enough for free shipping but I'm an amazon prime member so I could just go to amazon prime and order what I needed and get it shipped quicker and for free but I needed two yards of each of these and so you just do you know quantity two and they sent me two separate one-yard cuts I have two separate one-yard cuts of this and two separate one-yard cuts of this can I get a refund did they make a mistake or did I make a mistake can you not do that on amazon do you have to order multiple yardage through fabric comm I don't know I don't know what happened either way that's why I still have them in the bags in case I have to return them but these are the fabrics don't those look great together they are oh shoot maybe cotton some kind of cotton blend I can't remember but these are them and I am thinking of this for the main and this for the contrast so you can imagine nice and twirly their drape is great I think they're gonna wash up really beautiful they're opaque all of those things that you need for a beautiful skirt so if I can get the fabric situation maybe I will lay these out and I won't need to worry about it because each skirt fits each piece fits exactly where it's supposed to and that'll be fine but if not I'm gonna have to send this stuff back and they're gonna have to send me two-yard cuts like I thought I was ordering anyway so that's that's vogue little skirt I'm so excited about this I'm gonna wear it just like she is with either a white bodysuit white t-shirt something along those lines and then this is going to be a really long video last thing last thing that I pulled out is the Rachel Comey dress from vogue early spring vogue 8159 I love everything about this the shakeness of it all the simplicity of it all modern cool like I just want to wear this every single day and I happen to have a really really really beautiful linen in my stash that I think will be perfect the only issue is I might not be able to make it as long as this granted she's probably very tall I do not want to wear it with heels I normally have to shorten my bodices because I'm short-waisted so maybe maybe I can eat it out of the fabric that I have but this is the color what do we think green lime fun and then if I really wanted to just like go to town I can wear with my bodo jacket I think that's really cute maybe it's a lot for some people but I mean it is the season of color they're all talking about you know in all the fashion places that big big big bold bright colors are all the rage right now so why not pair lime green with green plaid you know what I mean um worst case scenario they don't look good together I wear them separately it's fine I have a navy coat that would look really beautiful I say coat but I really mean jacket a navy jacket that would be beautiful or just I mean in no time here it's going to be too warm for another layer anyways so those are my plans I told you it's a lot I know um but I think that the sew together thing is a one-day project the the dog stuff is a one-day project that vogue skirt is a one-day project so I think once I get those things knocked out I'll have plenty of time for the Rachel Coney dress the sew-along dress or the sew-along jacket um and we will be well on our way um but that is it those are my plans for March what are you gonna be making are you gonna be doing the sew-along with me I really hope you are are you gonna be doing something together with me I really hope you're doing that as well um I know I'm adding a lot to your plates this month with all the things that I've got going on but um I would love to hear what you are working on I have linked here in the Inslate to my
