Gardening and Sewing




Mr. and I are on vacation for the rest of the week! Yay!! It has been a pretty crazy year for us and we have been looking forward to a little relaxation time at home. We spent the morning planting a mini herb garden full of basil, oregano, mint, lemon balm and cilantro.

Afterwards I was able to get a few quick snapshots taken of one of my latest projects.

The Pendrell top with three different version pleated sleeves (pictured above), ruffle sleeves and sleeveless is very versatile! I love that it looks great with jeans as well as skirts! I am already working on another.

This was my second Ginger skirt, but by far my favorite in a nice linen blend that doesn't wrinkle! I am thinking that I need to do a hip adjustment to the pattern because it does ride up a little, but otherwise perfect for dress up days at work!

  1. Hey those look amazing! They look so professional and pretty, and really suit you. Love it! And the herb garden & table look really nice outside. Nice job! :) So excited to see it all in person. (We should be able to come up on Sunday - yay!)

    Love,
