Netflix never was happiness

Staying up too late

And sleeping in too long

When will I stop feeling

Like I’m doing this all wrong

Oh so true. I’ve made the Netflix mistake several times this week.

And this is the Easter dress I sewed for my daughter! 🐣 It’s the #geraniumdress pattern from @madebyrae with the short fitted sleeves + longer bodice from the expansion pack. The fabric is a super soft cotton, but is also pretty thin/see-through, so I lined the bodice like normal in the pattern, but then I also did a double layer for the skirt too. 💙 I also added the pockets from the #cleoskirt at the side seams because it was easier than printing another pattern piece. 😜✌🏻Also included a custom tag for her too. I stitched the edges with my fave valdini from @sunnydaysupply & then stitched it in place on the lining with a slipstitch. ❤️ The necklace she wore with it today is one of my faves from @thejonesmarket. ☀️ It takes a lot of time & energy to sew these custom made clothes for the kids, but it brings me so much joy and I hope they feel wrapped in love every time they put them on. ❤️✂️❤️ #katielewismakes #geraniumdress

Happy Easter! 🐰 I decided yesterday to sew up an Easter dress for my daughter and then our tender-hearted middle son asked when I was going to make something for him to wear. ❤️ So after he went to bed I sewed up this little Easter tie for him! I used the free little boy tie pattern from @purlsoho and it turned out great! It was a lot of hand sewing, but pretty simple and easy. And it turned out like a real tie! Not flimsy & a great fit on him. ✂️ I wanted each of the kids to remember how loved they are every time they put on these pieces of clothing that I poured so much time and love into, so I added a couple little special details. On this tie I added the yellow tie bar at the back (this was my husband’s suggestion 🙌🏻) & I love the pop of color it gives. I cut a scrap 1” x 5”, folded it lengthwise twice & pressed, stitched down the middle, then folded it into shape & stitched it in place by hand. The other little thing I added was this tag I printed onto some muslin with my customizable stamp. 🙂 During church today my little boy was wearing his new tie & leaned over to whisper in my ear that the tag was his favorite part. Mine too, buddy. ❤️✂️❤️ #katielewismakes #purlsohobusyhands

Happy *almost* Easter! 🥕 I made these sweet little robins egg sugar cookies and then packaged them up for friends & family to look like little robins nests. Swipe through for a little step by step! #katielewiscookies #alisonscookieparty

I made another shirt! 💙🙌🏻 This one is made from the geranium dress pattern by @madebyrae at the top length for my 9 year old daughter. I just bought the pattern yesterday & we bought some fabric for a dress, but then I decided to do a practice run first & I figured the top would take less fabric than a dress. Plus, she doesn’t like to wear dresses except on Sunday, so this is likely to get more wear anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This one is made from some fun vintage yardage I got about a year ago from @wildthymelucketts and a few spare wooden buttons I had on hand. (And a hidden snap at the top because I only had 3 buttons & it called for 4, so I moved the placement, but put the top button too low. Of course. 😂) I love the way it turned out. The pattern & instructions were so well written & I got the expansion pack too, so I’m excited to try out all the options! Whoop whoop! ✂️✂️✂️ #katielewismakes #geraniumdress

Been sewing on my machine for 12 years. Just figured out where the tension dial is today. 🤦🏼‍♀️💯😂 #katielewismakes #geraniumdress

I made a shirt! 🙌🏻 Oh my goodness, I struggled with the muslin for this one so much. I started several months ago & got the kinks worked out. (I ended up adding 1 1/4” at the center back + on the collar which fixed the issues I was having with the sleeves/shoulders feeling too tight. But I tried much more complicated adjustments before that. 🤦🏼‍♀️✌🏻) By then I just needed a break from it & then moving across the country took over my life. But then I started this cheery green one two nights ago & finished it the next day. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still had some trouble with the inset, which I think I’ll hand baste next time. But I love the way it turned out. The fit is comfy & covers up the fact that I’ve had 3 children nicely without looking too maternity shirt. (I hope! 😂) And I love all the details on it. Already got more fabric for another one! ✂️🎉 #katielewismakes #wikstentova
