Nothing to wear? Make something.

Posted on April 5, 2017 by heatherlauraclarke

I went to a special photography + flower-arranging workshop for bloggers on Sunday (more on that soon) and, of course, I started the morning in a panic of what to wear.

Since I work at home, I live in leggings and T-shirts and sweatshirts. Oh, and Zumba clothes.

So when I’m going to be out with REAL ADULT PEOPLE in a PROFESSIONAL kind of place, I get really, really nervous that I’m going to be an out-of-place slob.

As usual, my favourite adult pattern came to my rescue. I’d had a piece of cozy knit fabric sitting on my shelves (having bought it MONTHS ago and never getting to it), so I whipped off another Laundry Day Tee in 20 minutes before leaving for Halifax.

Don’t mind the selfie stick. It’s just easier if I take a picture myself rather than whining that my husband is taking shots where I’m all chin.

These shirts are THE MOST COMFY SHIRTS EVER, so I highly encourage you to hop over to Love Notions and buy the pattern (which is on sale right now for five bucks).

You don’t need a serger.

You don’t need crazy sewing skills.

You just need some stretchy fabric, thread, and like 20 minutes.

You’ll LOVE it. Trust me.

More Laundry Day Tees!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
