February was a great sewing month for me, and I wanted to take a moment and share with you all of the projects that I finished this past month. This month I sewed lounge wear, athletic wear, a dress, knit t shirts, and even a pair of culottes. I think you are going to love all of these projects!
So, I went way out of my comfort zone and shot a video modeling each of the outfits while chatting with you about the details of sewing the pattern and my thoughts on it. You can watch it here.
I also want to go over each of the projects here in case you can’t watch the video or want to see still photos. It also will serve as a way to condense all the different posts I have done this month into one place! So let’s get started.
Wardrobe by Me Freedom Dress
I kicked the month off by dreaming of spring weather and flowy dresses and made a Wardrobe by Me Freedom Dress. I used this gorgeous Art Gallery Rayon Challis print. I have worn this dress several times since making it, and I feel like I am floating around in all the tiers and layers. It is so romantic and pretty, and it has convinced me that I need to sew dresses more often.

The Greenstyle Bianca Pullover and Brassie Joggers
My next sewing project this month was some comfortable lounge wear. I made two pair of Brassie joggers using two different french terries (a berry one from Made Whimsy and a neutral hazel brownish color from Fabric Snob). They are both cozy and perfect for my lifestyle.
I also made two Bianca pullovers, one in a matching berry french terry for my joggers, and another in a Knitpop floral.
You can read my more detailed blogpost on the Bianca here. I also have a sew along for the Brassie Joggers here.
Greenstyle Sundial Leggings and a Cropped Scarlet Swing Top
My next project was an activewear set. I did a sew along for the Greenstyle Sundial Leggings at the beginning of March so I spent a lot of February videoing and sewing pairs of Sundials.

Art Gallery Knit Tops for My Daughters and I
I sewed some comfortable knit tees for my two older daughters using a pretty yellow Art Gallery print.
For my middle daughter, I used the Sofiona Clover pattern and did a simple one with a neckband instead of using the hood. She loves it! I wrote a more detailed post on this project here.
For my oldest, I sewed an Elllie and Mac Oversized tee. She says it is exactly like her favorite store bought top! I also wrote a more detailed post on this project here.
Next, I sewed the cutest Art Gallery strawberry print for my youngest daughter and myself. I used a top pattern with pockets for hers and then all the sleeve detail for mine.
The pattern I used for her top is the Striped Swallow Falling for You. I wrote a detailed post on that one here.
For my strawberries top, I used the Greenstyle Cambria and did the pleated version. Are the pleats so pretty!? I wrote a more detailed post on this project here.
A Quilted Jacket and a Sew House 7 Merlo Field Tee
After sewing for Spring at the beginning of the month, Texas took a turn back towards winter. Out of the blue, we got negative temps and lots of snow – for a WEEK! Not only did we get cold weather, we got rolling black outs and chaos. So, in the dark one day, I was cleaning out a bin of fabric (Side note: It was staying very cozy in my sewing room since it is lined in fabric!), and I found an almost finished quilted jacket that I had started last fall and finished it up. I also made a quick long sleeve tee while I was at it.
You can read the blogpost for that project here.
Named Clothing Ninni Culottes and a Greenstyle Centerfield Raglan
Last but not least, I made another pair of elastic waist pants. These are high rise and full of room and as comfortable as they come. The fabric is a soft and breezy tencel twill.
I think my “go to” simple fitted top pattern for knits like cotton lycra lately is the Greenstyle Centerfield Raglan. I made another one to go with these and love this pairing.
You can find my more detailed post on this project here.
