Time Traveling | Edwardian Era circa 1903
I’ve fallen down another rabbit hole. I really didn’t intend to do any new eras this year, but somehow I landed right at the turn of the century in the Edwardian era.

Jessica Sews | Matilda Dress
Today I’m excited to share a project that took me a while to jump into, but when I did, I couldn’t stop myself from stopping! This is the Matilda Dress from Megan Nielsen Patterns. After starting with the Dawn jeans (I know you’re tired of me going on and on about them), I decided I’d…

Jessica Sews | Overalls Hack with Dawn Jeans
On to the next piece of my capsule wardrobe – my high waisted overalls! I had originally wanted to make the bib overall version of this pattern, but… I lost it! In a fervor to make something, I ordered the Megan Nielsen Dawn Jean as a pdf I could print at home. In the course…

Jessica Sews | Beach Comber Blouse + Dawn Jeans
Greetings friends! I wish I could say we’re still in sunny Florida, but we’ve traded sand castles for snowmen back in Indiana. It’s coming down right now as I write this, so I’ll just transport myself back to ocean breezes and beach combing with my kids. For this trip, I made all my clothes. Ha!…
