I'm Jessica, an artist based in the beautiful Midwestern countryside, living my best life with my partner Adam and our children. 

I make my own clothes! Sometimes upcycling them from second hand stores. Check out all of my sewing projects here.

love historic costuming and have recently created 1780s outfits for myself and my children! See them here!

Join me as I share the ins and outs of my life as a stay at home mom, living in the countryside and fixing up our farmhouse.

Fourth wash fade 💙💙💙 I keep popping this newly made denim jacket in the wash with every dark load I’ve got. Seeing some nice color loss on edges where I’ve used sandpaper and it’s definitely lighter as a whole. I’ve been taking some progress shots but also thinking ehhhh... do I want to DO this or do it for a blog post (answer, I just want to f-ing do it)? So pitching the progress documentation out the window in favorite of other things, like... actually sewing. 👖 . . . . . Also: I will add buttonholes and shanks but I want to punish this thing a lot before all of that extra thread goes on. #memademay2019 #memade #sewingallthedamntime #jeanjacket #denim #s8845 #8845 @simplicity_creative_group @mimigstyle
Giving a pattern review of @mccallpatterncompany #m7359 today on my blog. I changed the shoulders which kind of makes the top IMO. I love it!! ✂️ . . . . . And I have been loving sewing things that have less body conscious lines too. After a decade (yes! TEN YEARS!) of posting #whatiwore online I gravitated towards pieces others might call “flattering” which i think is just double talk for “thin”. I avoided anything that would *maybe* look like I was pregnant because y’all know folks on the interwebs would be QUICK to jump on that (cant I gain some weight without speculation? Maybe I just had a pregnancy loss? Maybe it’s just my own damn body and I don’t need someone saying anything about it!!!) You guys would not believe how many people said things along this line when I posted the stripe top to my stories last week. Ahhhh. Anyways. Wear all the drapey non tight shirts you want. I will 💙 . . . . . #memademay2019 #memade #imakemyownclothes #sewing #sewsewsew #ootd #whatiwore #sewingblogger #joannfabrics #handmadewithjoann
Getting out of my comfort zone (ie not blue black or white) with this bold print made up in the #haydentee from @seamworkmag ✂️ I cut two sizes smaller than my last version and this time tried a bunch of different seam finishes including French seams, flat felled, bias bound and mock French (on the armscye). I wanted to drag it out but did finished it in under a day. Bear with my mannequin shot until we get some sunny days and free time from my photog husband ❤️ . . . . . #memademay2019 #memade #memadeeveryday #sewing #sewsewsew #ilovesewing #fashiondesign #sewingblogger
Country morning for the win.
Little goodies from my grandmas sewing box. ✂️ Any of my sewing/tailoring/designing friends have a lead on customized modern option (woven, not printed!) without a crazy minimum? #memademay2019 #memade #customlabels #hivemind #fashiondesign
My babes. Happy Mother’s Day!
