My True Bias Emerson Shorts

June 4, 2017June 21, 2018 ~ Rebecca ~ Leave a comment

Last year I made the Emerson crop pants. I didn't blog about them or photograph them because it was just as the pregnancy symptoms hit me like a ton of bricks and all creative projects came to a screeching halt. The pants were the last garment that I made before my bump really started to show. … Continue reading My True Bias Emerson Shorts

Hi!

My name is Rebecca, my initials spell RAG, and I like to sew. I started making my own clothes shorty after I quit my engineering job to stay home with my daughter. As it turns out raising children is hard. Sewing keeps me sane. Read more about me here.

Feeling bummed because I haven’t been able to dedicate more time to sewing. My four year old has a problem with me “being in the sewing room all the time.” Apparently, I don’t play with her enough. 💔 I feel guilty about this and then my husband tells me to chill out because she’s the same girl that “never gets new toys” with an entire upstairs floor dedicated to toys and playing. She really knows how to lay it on thick. #jennytrousers in progress... #houstonsews #imakemyownclothes #designyourwardrobe

So I hear it’s cold outside... a whopping 58F in Houston but I’m still in the mood to knit this thick cardigan...and I have to be because my son won’t let me leave his side. #oxbowcardigan #slowknitting #momlife

Hi! Today I'm sharing the looks I've picked for the Seamwork Design Your Wardrobe series. I'm being really ambitious but I think I can make it happen! Check out my blog for more details. Link in bio. #seamwork #designyourwardrobe #fabric#imakemyownclothes #imakemyclothes#houstonsews

DYW Update! With my swatches and guidance from the Week Two dispatches, I was able to define my color palette. I picked four basic colors: burgundy, navy, blush, and olive green as well as three neutrals: black, dark grey, and a creme-y white. I also picked a few accent colors and a few prints. They are shown in the images as well. I expect to narrow this down a bit more or even swap out some of the prints and accents for others, once I choose the looks I want to create. Loving this process! . #seamwork #designyourwardrobe #fabric #imakemyownclothes #imakemyclothes #houstonsews

I’ve cut out swatches of 95% of my fabric collection in order to plan a little better. There are over 50 swatches. 😁 🤯 Which means I should be able to plan a few outfits without evening setting foot in a fabric store or shopping online. I feel good about this and about the fact that I’ve stayed pretty true to certain colors and patterns of fabric. Now I’m going to define a day to day Wardrobe, my mom uniform, if you will, and find some inspiration online with consideration for the fabrics and patterns that I have. Stay tuned... . #seamwork #designyourwardrobe #imakemyownclothes #sewersofinstagram #mycolorpalette #designinspiration #houstonsews #fabriccollection #fabricstash

Happy Monday ya’ll! I just wanted to share something that I started working on in September of last year. I decided to use the Seamwork Design Your Wardrobe program to plan my sewing. This is my mood board! Or at least a digital version of it. I recently decided to get some images printed out to facilitate the planning process. I’m going to use the printed images, fabric swatches and a cork board to further explore this method. My hope is that it will help me to better plan and make the clothes that I want to wear! Exciting things will be happening this year! Let’s go!!! . #seamwork #designyourwardrobe #handmadewardrobe #imakemyownclothes #houstonsews #designinspiration #mycolorpalette #sewing #makersgonnamake #sewersofinstagram

Here are couple of Christmas gifts that I got from my fam! This gorgeous lip gloss by NYX and a yarn bowl! A great pair, if I do say so myself. #knittersofinstagram #knittinghottie 😂

I didn’t quite make my #2018makenine as planned but I did make a few things that I’m super proud of. Here are my #2018bestnine

This is another #halifaxhoodie. I call it my granny shirt because, well, it looks like one. But I’m owning it and it’s super comfy and my mom would have loved it. ❤️ It reminds me of her.

I totally loved this version of the #halifaxhooie by @sew_help_me so I decided to make my own. I’ve been wearing it like er’y day. It’s a great addition to my very small collection of winter clothes! #houstonsews #imakemyownclothes #joannfabrics #madewithjoann #imakemyclothes #sewersgonnasew
