Enjoying my new #comillasdress from @itchtostitch.bsky.social
Took me about 10 hours from cutting to hemming and an easy pattern to follow.
Leftover fabric from Kiki's Textiles.
It's the perfect lightweight dress for this hot summer.

Finished my 3rd pair of Lander Pants today! This time I opted for a zipper instead of all buttons, and I'm a huge fan of the look. They fit great standing up, but quite tight when seated. 😑
Pattern by True Bias. Fabric from Blackbird Fabrics.

Best day of my life so far.
I'm so glad I challenged myself to make my wedding dress, because I truly enjoyed it.

On May 25, 2025 I married the love of my life in a fairy princess dress that I made. I used the Cottagecore Dress Pattern by FourSeasonsPatterns on Etsy and also purchased the bodice fabric from handtfabrics on Etsy. I felt so beautiful in it! #diy #handmadeweddingdress #memademay #ithaspockets

Started on a muslin for my wedding dress. Main fabric from a thrifted table cloth and crocheted curtains given to me. Pattern by SD Patterns (Etsy) - the Cottagecore Fairy Dress Pattern. Sleeves are a bit small, but that's why I test!

Finally made a Nikko top!
So quick and easy, I'll definitely be making more.
I'll make the arm holes slightly smaller next time, but otherwise love the design. From cutting to hemming, it only took me 4 hours!
