Dream PJs alert!!! 😍🤯 And boy did I take my time with these! I love hot air balloons so much!! Ever since watching Sound of Music as a kid, they seemed like magic from another time!
And so, I had been saving this fabric for at least 4 years because I knew I needed to turn it into my new favourite !! I think I cut these 2 years ago, then finally sewed them on mother's day weekend this year! 🙈 Talk about procrastination!!
They turned out just as I'd dreamed!! With wide cuffs, LOVE elastic waistband and the perfect rust-coloured piping from Mimifabrics , I couldn't be happier with this project! Friends- these are so much better than store bought!! 🥹
Scroll through for all the angles & close-ups of the little details. Bonus guest appearance by my sweet, elderly puppy who didn't want to miss the photoshoot. 😘

I love love this super cute fall dress in these pretty, delicate leaves! 🍂This dress is a recreation of my friend's favorite dress that had shrunk over the years! She wanted it re-created in a different fabric and size, and I can't wait for her to finally have this in her closet!! 🤩
Scroll through for a look at the cute, rounded pockets and a close-up of this lovely leaf print. I love the texture of these leaves!!

Wowza! The camera archive is giving this weekend!! I made this almost 2 years ago!!! 🙈 for a great customer who is so lovely that she let me try it on to a) take these pics for the feed, and b) live forever with fomo that I didn't make myself one!
This is incredible thick, buttery soft sweat is something I think about often- probably the softest fabric ever inside! And that green solid has a little glitter running through it- I always something special at Mimifabrics ! Both were a perfect match to the small pieces of this pretty Sea Buckthorn print by Rebecca Reck that I had in my collection. Scroll through for some different angles and close ups of this super fun hoodie, and spot the matching Mariela Paz slippers I made years ago with this same print! 😘

Hey there lovely humans!! 🌞 Summer has finally hit the Ottawa area and I am overjoyed!!

Well friends, this is the first thing I've made for myself in a really long time and I'm super excited to share it with you!! 🩷

Last year I picked up a RTW (🙈) solid black beach romper and it became my most worn piece of the summer. So I just HAD to try to replicate it in this incredible graffiti hearts jersey print I picked up awhile back from !
Self-drafted and added some much needed pockets and I'm thrilled with how it turned out!

And what a perfect piece to wear to show you all my whimsical tattoo that I've been thinking about for years and years. It's a total dream come true- something to represent my family and best friends and myself; to literally wear my heart on my sleeve- and my incredible tattoo artist wqs able to pluck this random jumble of thoughts out of my brain and made absolute magic! 🌈 I am obsessed! She is such an incredible human and I'm so thankful to have met her. I can't imagine anyone else having been able to bring my ideas to life in this way! Go see her if you've been thinking of getting some body art!!!

So scroll through for some close-up details- on both the romper and my sleeve. (Did you clock the glitter black drawstring at the waist? 🤩)

What do we think? Do I need a lightweight denim version? A shorts version!

Tattoo walk-through coming soon- promise! 😘

Well hello springtime!! 🌸🍃🦋
I've been asked a bunch lately if I'm still sewing and I figured it was time to get some new pieces posted!
I am so in love with this fairy inspired dress- each leaf petal features a gorgeous garden print on the underside, and I had fun adding a hint of detail to the green side of the leaf- swipe through to see the subtle details and 360° view of this fabulous little birthday dress! 🧚‍♀️
I'm definitely not doing the volume of sewing I once was- the last year and a half navigating deep grief and big life changes has required me to slow down on a lot of fronts and get much more sleep than I used to. And it's been good. And I also really miss creating! So as I work to find the right balance, I super appreciate everyone's energy and support, and I find a special joy making pieces like this! 🌞
I have been making birthday dresses for this sweet girl for 7 years now!! How crazy is that?! I am honestly so honoured to be part of folks' birthday traditions- I never imagined I would be so lucky. 🍀
So a huge thanks to my very special clients who have become friends over the years, who have so much patience and trust, and who have stuck around through all the seasons.
I adore you! 💖
And of course, shout out to the incomparable for the best of the best fabrics!! Always!!

Eeeks! This happy treats fabric just keeps on giving!! 😍🍭
This birthday delight of a dress inspired itself as soon as we decided on a cupcake pocket!
Why should the top be only one colour, when it could be swirly purple and pink to match that sweet cupcake icing?!! 🧁
I'd say this is one of the happiest birthday dresses I ever did see- how 'bout you? 😘

Scroll through for close-ups of this delicious print and the sweet pocket details!

Now THAT is a birthday shirt!! 🤩🧁🍭🍔🍕
A special request for a rainbow-loving little guy, I'm super in love with how this happy, bright top turned out.

I've made a few hoodies with this pattern before, but I am loving this as a tshirt! What do you think?!

I hope this makes you smile as much as it makes me smile. 🥰 Happy almost-weekend, everyone! 🌞

Hey friends, happy weekend! Another holiday throwback that I haven't yet shared is this super sweet Mommy-and-me 'grandpa' cardigan set that I got to make for my best friend and her daughter in the coziest brushed sweatshirt fabric.
The order was 'oversized and comfy', so this slouchy and 9-12 year grow-with-me were the perfect patterns!
🎄
I wish I had recorded my son's reaction when I asked him to model this with me. He was like "Is this mine? Can it be mine? I want one just like this mom, with pockets and buttons so I can be fancy. Are you sure I can't keep this one?" Haha- it was so cute and I promise I WILL make him a cozy one of his own now that I'm back at my machines more. 😘 Scroll through for our little photoshoot. 🩷

These versatile pieces are my favorite style to make, especially those grow sizes for kiddos- I love when special handmade pieces get to last even longer!
