Ok fine, phone, chill out. He’s not even up yet. I also have hours to go before class – don’t judge me! 😆

Why did I decide it was a good idea to eat breakfast outside this morning? It was *only* 106 and they have portable air cons, but still … it was delicious, though. I had basically breakfast pizza – manakesh (kind of like a pizza) topped with muhamarra + a side of fried eggs and a no-sugar lemon mint (think aggressive lemonade blended with fresh mint). 10/10 would eat (inside) again.

We will call this my early August make. Hand sewed the top – actually just a half top – this past week to go with my dirndl.

Still snuggly (as always) but feeling better. No idea what was wrong with my little love but he had a rough couple days. He’s happy to be back on normal food.

My poor little not feeling great man – hoping his stomach is actually on the mend and he gets to keep his banana & rice dinner

I waited all of 3 hours of being home & awake before grabbing my hand sewing kit & an ‘emergency project’

Todays picture of the day is a compilation of pics from last week. Sorry for anyone following me on Instagram & Facebook for the spam – this project took forever and I’m shouting from the rooftops now that I’m done and have worn it all! 😅

My Summer 2023 Me-Made Holiday Capsule

1: Teahouse Dress by SewHouse Seven in a soft medium-weight linen. This dress slips right over the head and has pockets big enough for my phone. An instant classic.

2: 1890s Big Sky Riding Skirt (secret pants!) by Folkwear Patterns in a rougher mid-weight linen + a self-drafted tie shoulder tank in a drapey cotton blend. The pants fulfill all my teenage JNCO-loving historical-goth fantasies and the tank worked surprisingly well for not knowing what I was doing.

3: My 3rd bifurcated garment ever, first zip fly and first pair of self-drafted shorts. And they’re actually comfortable. The top can go straight to hell. 40+ hours of hand-shirring and I need to do some major shoring up of the top hem before this is ready to attempt to wear again. A wardrobe malfunction threatening to happen at any second. The shorts are in a super nice Italian cotton pants material and the top is a cotton check.

4: The Coquelicot Skirt by Wildflower Designs in a medium weight marl linen + my first ever stab at self-drafting a princess seam top. I’ve been seeing these super cute structured crop tops everywhere on Pinterest lately and attempted to recreate the design with what I had on hand. Worked surprisingly well with this beautiful tone-on-tone embroidered cotton I impulse bought a few months ago.

5: And last but not least, a self-drafted circle dress in thick cotton. This dress was a bear with miles of ripped and re-done seams. But it was comfy.
