That Melilot Top is so beautiful. Jordan is super lucky! You went above and beyond with birthday gifts this year. It's sweet to see them bringing you a cocktail, so clearly you are both spoiling each other. ❤ I never thought to make a t-shirt dress from the core t-shirt. You are giving me some serious ideas! I'm sure I've commented on your blanca flightsuit before but come on.... How could I not say how amazing it looks! 😍🔥 You've been knocking out of the park lately!

A play suit would be nice, but I wouldn’t change this one. It looks great on you and you will get a lot of use of it when the weather is cooler.

Wow! You have been busy! Great to see you back. Lucky Jordan! You made some wonderful gifts for their birthday! Very clever! I love the Core T-Shirt dress! Beautiful fabric! But, I love love love your Bianca Flight Suit! Just awesome! I just finished The Assembly Line cuff sleeve vest in a headstock wool. I lined it and it is so warm! We have had some 0 degree mornings here. I wore it twice in the first week after making it. It is great when a make is perfect! Happy sewing!

Maybe the skirt is a little bigger because the fabric is a looser weave than the previous fabric causing it to stretch more? I LOVE that skirt btw, might need that fabric in my life 😅

You are probably right about the weave of the fabric. I would highly recommend it though...it is lovely to work with.

Welcome back. Great gifts for Jordan! Did you use any heavy interfacing in the Harrison bag? It looked quite supple….just wondering. Love your Blanca & the skirts and the flowered t-dress. Haven’t tried a jumpsuit for myself yet…but I’ve been making a few Juliet tops from LN- sleeveless for the summertime. Glad you still made time to sew during your break.

I can see why you have them on rotation. Jordan's presents are all great! I've bought several times from Spoonflower and have always been super happy with the fabric I've bought. My favorite is your Blanca flightsuit. WOW. Great video and thanks for sharing, xo

What a treat to turn on KZfaq with my morning tea and see you! I would turn the jumpsuit into a romper. I agree, you will get more wear out of it. Your Core T shirt dress is so pretty. You should be proud of your Blanca. I have not sewn a lot lately. Mostly quick repeats.

So many great makes! I am gearing up to make the Blanca Flight Suit (someday, I'm scared!😅) and I am OBSESSED with yours. It's amazing. I've never made a jumpsuit before, so I've been thinking about starting with the Zadie because it seems like it might be a bit more simple to make and fit. Your new Zadie is beautiful on you. I love it long, but I think it would also be super cute if you shortened it. Thanks for sharing your projects! 💙
