Sneak peek 👀 of our next pattern, releasing mid-May! ✨️
Truth is, we planned to have released it earlier, but we've had several family medical emergencies as of late.
And there's nothing like the needs of my 91 year-old grandma and my Dad who has Altzheimer's to re-align priorities. I have been here and now, which is exactly where I need to be.
But we did sneak in a quick visit to my in-laws in Florida before my grandma's hospital stay, and I brought my machine (graciously lent to us by @bernina_world_of_sewing for course filming) and sewed up our next pattern, which happens to be named after my Grandma.
The #JoanieTop will come with camp collar and shawl collar options, short and cuffed sleeves, cropped + notched or curved + hip-legth hems. And the cool thing? ALL of these elements are interchangeable, which means you get 8 tops in ONE pattern!
(And I'm wearing my handstitched, wool jersey #bedrocktee while sewing!)

Well it’s storming here today, but yesterday was perfect for my go-to spring outfit, #estuaryskirt + #bedrocktee ✨
As much as I love the cozy winter months, the change in seasons always helps me reflect on so much, from what I’m wearing and why, to the kind of person I’m hoping to continue to grow to be. It’s always the right season for setting new goals and showing yourself and those around you kindness.

There's one thing that makes me really bummed about warmer weather - losing my layering game.
The vests, the tops peaking out from beneath sweaters, the luscious, contrasting textures of knits, the plentiful opportunities to mix and match textiles.
I'm really happy that I decided not to add a layer of batting to my reversible #hinterlandvesthack (tutorial on the blog,) because now I can wear it over my #BedrockTee and #StrataTop all through Spring!
I'm sewing another (Top secret! Amazing!) light layering piece today ... can't wait to show you come May. 😉
Worn here with a pair of #ArthurPants + cat fur, as always. 🐈

Yesterday I celebrated a 40-something birthday. It was lovely.
You know what else is lovely? Having enough life experience to know that I can, truly, wear whatever I want. Other people's style opinions have zero sway over me.
But the hardest opinions to get over have been the ones in my own head. The "rules" that can take up residence in our minds, keeping our creativity under wraps.
And so I present to you a very liberated #styleover40 outfit, one that gives you complete permission to not match, to blend geometry with lace, and to just wear the things that make you smile. 😁
Wearing: #BedrockTee + #CosechaPants + #thrifted lace button down worn as a "jacket" layer.

When designing the #BedrockTee , I wanted it to layer beautifully both under AND over a sleeveless #hinterlanddress . The curved hem of View B is also designed to look fantastic over the #EstuarySkirt , #ArenitePants + #ArthurPants .
My goal here at Sew Liberated is not to make one-off designs, but to thoughtfully curate a collection of designs that help you build your wardrobe with pieces that are comfortable + that work well together ... all with a fun, creative vibe. If eccentric art teacher is your vibe, WE GOT YOU. 😜
To help you round out your artful Spring wardrobe, everything on Sew Liberated (including courses) is on S A L E. 🥳

Do you bring a spirit of imagination to your closet when getting dressed? For me, imaginative style happens most often when I take a piece and ask, "How can you be used in a new, out-of-the-box way in an outfit?" Here, I'm playing around with the possibility of using a tank as a vest, and a dress as a duster.
You see that I'm not always successful in my outfits - and I want you to see that, even though I do this for a living, I still don't knock my style out of the park on the first try every morning.
It's always an experiment, during which I enjoy the playfulness, the imperfection, the possibility of creating a delightful visual combo.
Wearing: secondhand, altered Ace & Jig tank,
Older rtw jeans, Doen blouse, @jungmaven tank, and the pintuck #hinterlanddress hack from our Creative Hinterland patternmaking course.

How do you decide what to sew next, when there are SO many possibilities from which to choose?
Because I strongly recommend NOT making an entirely handmade wardrobe (there are so many secondhand clothes that could use a loving home!) I think we should consider this question with care.
We sew for the joy of it, so try to pick a project that either lights you up or adds something unique but versatile to your wardrobe.

I know, I know, it's just me and the fluffy cat today. Sorry to disappoint those who were wanting more of Patrick's clueless style commentary. 🤣 He promises to return with more style-ambivalent expertise in the future.
Here I'm styling my cat fur ... I mean, my #arthurpants and #stasiatee ... as a column of color (or lack thereof) under my hand-tailored #oslocoat . None of these are new makes, but they are well-loved and worn frequently.

This is a reminder to take time to play in your own closet. Get curious about the pieces you already have, and think about how you could wear them in different ways. 💓
