In exchange for taking him to the dentist, I got my unofficial photographer to snap a few pics of my new #avenuevest by @toriknitsnyc.bsky.social I knit it with about 200 g of @honerocheir.bsky.social My gauge was off so this was knit as a size 2 to get 40” of width. #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Happy to have some #teaguedress weather today. The 🥶 weather last week was doing nothing for my ever increasing existential dread. I wore 👖 every day and wasn’t a fan. Even if I have to do a bit of a 🧜‍♀️ shuffle when I power walk, still so much comfier than 90% of pants. #sewsky #garmentsewing

This is my second True Bias #blairskirt I made this one out of a wool -poly blend #deadstock from Stone Mountain Fabric

Story of the adventure in this thread 🧵

Making modded Rambler pants for my spouse who often has not enough room in the seat for his waist size. And I made the fatal mistake of serging and top stitching the elastic BEFORE the try on. Also the engineer in my finds it interesting to fit a body different than my own. #sewsky #garmentsewing

Finally warm enough to get some photos of my Helen’s Closet #dawsontop hack into a dress. This is my second take, and this one has a sway back adjustment for my low seat.

The fabric jersey is deadstock from Stonemountain and Daughter.

First knit FO of 2025. The #superlativesweater by @samanthaguerin.bsky.social in @explorerknits.bsky.social Boucle DK in the Gaudi colorway. Definitely a learning curve with Boucle.

This is size 2 which fits my upper bust measurement but has slightly less ease than called for at the full bust.

This has been a shit week on so many levels, including cranky flu kids who thankfully had flu shots. I channeled some of my frenetic energy to finally finish these socks after two years on the needles. Socks are usually my side gig. (I made the critical mistake of a charted side gig. 😂 )

I’m Sarah. I live in Philly. I knit and sew. I have a soft spot for jumpsuits and dresses. I like to find a few patterns I like and tinker with fit, making multiples. Between the two weeks of frigid, cold weather and my kids having the flu this week, I have a bit of a back log to photograph.

Similar to my knitting posts, top 4 sewing makes of 2024. My style is 60% utility/ 40% dopamine dressing. #sewistsofbluesky #phillysews #sewingcommunity

In the spirit of starting over and happily trapped under sleeping kid, I present my top 4 favorite knits from 2024. This was really hard to narrow but 4 picture limit made for some tough calls. #knittersofbluesky #knitting #phillyknits #knittingcommunity
