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 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 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.
