My Winslow Pants and Nikko Top

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

I'm super pumped to share this make with you for two reasons. 1. This the first time ever that I've made a complete outfit. I made the top and I made the pants. How dope is that? And 2, this particular outfit is one that I've never thought that I could pull off and, I … Continue reading My Winslow Pants and Nikko Top

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.

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

And we have a hood! My #halifaxhoodie is coming along! #houstonsews #isewmyownclothes #frenchterry #stylemakerfabrics

Back at it! Woohoo! It took me 15 minutes to find my things but here we go! #imakemyownclothes

I’m working with a size 11 knitting needle in this bulky weight Berroco yarn. The needles felt clunky and my stitches looked sloppy but wow, what a difference blocking makes! This is a swatch I did in preparation for my first knitted garment. I’m making the #oxbowcardigan for ME! Wish me luck!

I’ve never made mittens, or a hat with ears, for that matter. My take away is that if you’re trying out something new, knit it in a baby size and the imperfections won’t matter because it will be so freakin’ cute anyway. I hope my new niece likes them! #wikstenanimalbonnet in #leonalexanderyarns @dora_lynn 😍

I bought this gorgeous #leonalexanderyarns DK hank at a trunk show this past Saturday. It was my first time at @parkavenueyarns and I am so pleased to have found a lovely shop relatively close to my new house. I went outside to snap a photo of the hank and my daughter insisted that she be in it. She scooped up the yarn like a ninja, after I had carefully placed it on my patio to snap a pic, and plopped herself in front of my iPhone. She wouldn’t move until I snapped the photo and showed it to her. 🙄

This cowl is shaping up to be a nice make. I’m not sure how I’ve managed to make so much progress so quickly but not having access to my sewing machine is probably helping. It will be a Christmas present for someone... #lucyandethelcowl #drop-deadeasyknitsbook #houstonknits

Life is messy right now. My husband and I have bought a house and we'll be moving to a suburb of Houston. My walls are becoming bare as I pack things up. Things are in a state of disarray. It will likely be a while before I will sew another garment, which makes me kinda' sad. But if I focus on all the good that lies ahead, a new start for my family and a new sewing space 🙂!, I will get through this transition. And of course, this jumpsuit! This is the last garment I was able to sew before packing up my sewing machine and it brings me so much joy. I'll may write more about it soon but for now, I'll ride the wave of excitement over its new release and give you a peek of my tester version. Here's my #amyjumpsuit by #closetcasepatterns!

Pants. Not the best idea to try to finish these up post vacation. Maybe they’ll fit me in a couple weeks. 🤫 #landerpants in #cottontwill
