We just finished up week 3! Crazy how fast time is flying and I’m still wearing me made garments 🙂 I may not be repeating items but I sure am 100% repeating patterns. I felt bad saying the same patterns over and over again but then I realized that maybe someone will see how awesome these patterns (or pattern companies) are and be inspired to sew them up! That being said, let’s get started:
May 15
Today has been busy, it’s my husband’s birthday! Happy Birthday Honey 😘 Now that we are in for the night, I’m sporting my lazy people pants. I made these about 2 or 3 years ago. #thatssewamy #memademay #handmade #madewithlove #isew #sewing #lazypeoplepants #sundayfunday #relax
I can’t even remember what pattern this was, I think maybe McCalls? Never blogged about and made of snuggle flannel from JoAnn’s. Super comfy and warm. I feel like the angle makes me look pregnant, which I am not (sorry Mom!)

This is another @jalie_patterns Nursing Tee. Love these tops! #thatssewamy #jalie #nursingtop #isew #sew #sewing #memademay
What can I say? I can not get enough of this pattern! My #1 pattern of 2015 – by far. This one is made from a burn out fabric I found in the red tag section of JoAnns (p.s. go to that section on any holiday and they have it 50% off – great time to stock up!)

Today’s garment is another Slim Fit Raglan by @patternsforpirates This fabric feels great and is nice and warm but doesn’t have the stretch needed for this pattern. Oh well, it still looks pretty good. #thatssewamy #patternsforpirates #slimfitraglan #memademay #isew #sewing #whyisitcoldinmay
I finally blogged about this one! The Slim Fit Ralgan from Patterns For Pirates. I love that Guinness is in the background judging me for taking mirror selfies.

Todays garment is once again Peg Legs from @patternsforpirates I whipped these up last night so I would have something comfy for today. #menhaden at #thatssewamy #sewing #patternsforpirates #p4p
More Peg Legs! But seriously, you can’t ever have enough leggings. I like to be super comfy and my husband likes me in tight clothing, so that’s a win/win here. These were made from some amazing Hobby Lobby fabric.

This is the Jalie 3132 Nursing Hoodie. Fantastic pattern. This one is 2 sizes too big though. It’s keeping me nice and warm 😊 #memademay #sewingblogger @jalie_patterns #jalie #nursingsewingpatterns
Jalie Nursing Hoodie this one is too big though. I made it when I first got the pattern and didn’t quite fit myself correctly. I’ve debated making it smaller but figure when I have another baby I’ll wear it right after.
May 20
Another Jalie nursing top. #reallife #ilovethese #thatssewamy #memademay #sewing #isew
That’s a record right? Three of the same pattern in a week LOL. Jalie Nursing Top forever!
May 21
It still isn’t warm enough for any of my dresses, so here’s a lightweight jacket. This is the Robson coat by @sewaholic and it’s gorgeous. I tried to use filters that would lighten it up so you can see detail but this is as good as it gets. I blogged about this one so if you want more detail the link is in my bio. Side note, I need to clean the mirror and the mess of toys 😆 #thatssewamy #memademay #robson #sewaholic #messyhousehappykids #alwayswearblack #trenchcoat #mirrorselfie #slowfashion #sewingblogger #ohio #linkinbio
I really can’t be bothered to clean my mirror, there’s sewing to be done! I wish this would have photographed better, but if you want detail check out the blog post here. This is the Sewaholic Robson coat and it’s really a work of art. There is so much detail and topstitching, which of course you can’t see because of me always choosing black on black on black. While I was wearing this I went to JoAnn and the lady asked me what I was going to make with the fabric I was buying, I said “I don’t know, I just need more black knit for whatever” she’s like “oh, do you sew a lot?” I said “yeah, all the time” she’s like “are you any good?” I said “I don’t know, I made this coat though” she was like “OMG you made that?! HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT?! That looks so professional!!!” Needless-to-say she made my day 😀
I hope you enjoyed my roundup! If you haven’t already please follow me on Instagram: @amynxdx. I’ve been really getting into IG and trying to post and socalize more on there. It’s just easier because I’m a visual person. Also, it’s FINALLY starting to warm up so I will have some dresses in the mix – just beware of the “porcelain” legs. (My husband says I’m not pale or super white but porelain – he’s sweet).
I was just talking to my husband today about how my skin “glows” next to him. All that Norwegian blood in me – I never tan.
you are doing great with MMM. only 1 week left! I love seeing all your P4P makes. I broke down yesterday and bought the sweetheart dress, sweet tee, and slim fit raglan. Now I own like all the patterns lol. But it’s ok because they all rock! I have the sweet tee and relaxed raglan on my table to cut my fabric out today.
Guinness sightings are always exciting and who cares about the mess, having a life is more important! 🙂
Glad I’m not the only pale one around here! Those 3 are my favorites, well and Peg Legs. I dunno, it’s all so great! Haha I swear I should get free patterns for all the love I share about them online 😀
