- [2025 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2025-year-in-review/) - So much has changed since I started this blog back in 2012. That was the early days of indie pattern designers such as Colette (now Seamwork), Closet Case (now Closet Core), and Grainline Studio. It was the heyday of blogs—sewing blogs for me—and discovering them felt so special. I’m so thankful for the sewing community
- [The Great Chicken Coop Remodel of 2015](https://rakeandmake.com/the-great-chicken-coop-remodel-of-2015/) - Okay, now that the Coop Tour is over, I can finally share some of the prep work we did for it. One huge thing we did was finally remodel the chicken coop. Not only was the fence behind the coop rotting, but the coop itself had a dirt floor, so rats were getting in. I had also always wanted
- [Pattern Testing: Jennifer Lauren Cressida Skirt](https://rakeandmake.com/pattern-testing-cressida-skirt/) - After the wedding was over (and with it all the planning that had taken up so much of our time for so many months), I kept getting asked what I was going to do with all my new free time when I got home. My answer was, "Whatever I want!". I knew I wouldn't have
- [Black Ginger Jeans](https://rakeandmake.com/black-ginger-jeans/) - My Mid-rise Ginger Jeans get worn an almost embarrassing amount. I mean, like almost every day. I, of course, have other clothes, but jeans are just what I like to wear and what I reach for day after day. That said, a gap in my wardrobe has been more pants, specifically a pair of black
- [Joanie Top](https://rakeandmake.com/joanie-top/) - Here's a make that should have ended up on the blog a long time ago: Sew Liberated's Joanie Top! When this shirt came out last year, I sewed it up right away. It's everything I had been looking for in a short sleeve button up and has that classic, timeless look that I love. Details
- [Arlo Track Jackets](https://rakeandmake.com/arlo-track-jackets/) - Here are some goofy AF pictures of me in a couple of Friday Pattern Co.

- [Matt's Birthday Negroni #4](https://rakeandmake.com/matts-birthday-negroni-4/) - Since Matt and I live together (and have for over fifteen years), I have never been able to make him anything as a surprise. A well timed sewing weekend at Maker's Hideaway finally gave me the the opportunity to do so! Details Pattern Colette Patterns Negroni Fabric Wool flannel shirting fabric from the Pendleton Woolen
- [Matt's Birthday Negroni Shirt](https://rakeandmake.com/matts-birthday-negroni-shirt/) - Once again, I have been a bit absent on this blog lately. Between ukulele lessons on Tuesday nights (plus practice throughout the week) and my knitting group on Wednesday nights and then trying to get some exercise occasionally and balance family life (in-laws were in town, Matt turned 40), I have been BUSY! 2015 is
- [2022 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2022-year-in-review/) - Looking back, I've gotten spotty with these "Year in Review" posts. I'm not sure where 2021 even went. That last few years have been a bit nuts, right? If only I had written a post last year and could jog my memory... That said, 2022 must be reviewed. A lot happened last year and I
- [Olive Ginger Cords](https://rakeandmake.com/olive-ginger-cords/) - 2022 was a good year for me to work on the gap in my handmade wardrobe that was pants! After I made my Black Ginger Jeans, I went right into sewing these next (so yes, I have been sitting on these photos for about a year). I have sewn quite a few pairs of Ginger
- [Last minute holiday gift idea: cloth napkins!](https://rakeandmake.com/last-minute-holiday-gift-idea-cloth-napkins/) - Looking for a last minute holiday gift idea? Everybody loves cloth napkins and they are great way to reduce waste!
- [Sleeveless Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/sleeveless-sew-over-it-vintage-shirt-dress/) - Before Summer officially ends—and it feels like that time is closing in—I must share one of my favorite make of this season: a sleeveless version of my now TNT Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress pattern. Let's talk about the fabric first, as I feel like that is what makes this dress. Details Fabric The
- [True Bias Ogden Camis](https://rakeandmake.com/true-bias-ogden-camis/) - I must have been the last sewist on the planet to sew the True Bias Ogden Cami—I never claimed to be an early adopter—but now I believe all the hype! I had fabric set aside for two Ogden Camis: some leftover Rifle Paper Co. Cotton and Steel rayon (from my Ellsworth Coat) and a beautiful
- [Caftans and Cocktails: A Palm Print Charlie Caftan](https://rakeandmake.com/caftans-and-cocktails-charlie-caftan/) - Last year, I discovered the value of a good sewing challenge with the "Sew Bibs" challenge. It made me realize that deadlines motivate me to get sewing projects done. It's also super fun to share your completed garment with a bunch of people sewing the same thing at the same time. Nowadays, anything that can
- [Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/sew-over-it-vintage-shirt-dress/) - One reason I wanted to start sewing my own clothes was that I had a vision of the perfect shirt dress. Store bought dresses never fit me right. I am tall and pear shaped, so if they fit in the waist they were too big in the bust and they were always way too short.
- [A Starry Sheer Sudley Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/sudley-dress/) - I had high hopes for the holidays last year (and how social we could be), so I dug into my stash and pulled out this beautiful silk I bought at Mill End the weekend of Portland Frocktails and made this Megan Neilsen Sudley Dress. Details Pattern Megan Neilsen Sudley Dress: View C This dress can
- [Black CustomFit Inlet Cardigan](https://rakeandmake.com/black-customfit-inlet-cardigan/) - I knit a black cardigan. Am I crazy? Maybe. Was it worth it? I think so! Knitting a sweater takes me a long time. My average is about a year. This CustomFit Inlet Cardigan by Amy Herzog took me a year and half to knit. I am a slow knitter, but I am also not
- [Completed: Miette Cardigan](https://rakeandmake.com/completed-miette-cardigan/) - I almost can't believe it, my Miette Cardigan is finally finished! And it only took me a year! Oof. In my defense, some things came up and I did sew a wedding dress in that time as well. There is a whole new level of pride that came with completing this sweater though. It was probably a combo
- [Calligraphy Cardigan](https://rakeandmake.com/calligraphy-cardigan/) - Drumroll please! My Calligraphy Cardigan is finally finished! I felt like it took me two years to knit this sweater -which was actually my estimate of how long it would take to knit, since I am a slow knitter- but it actually only took a little over a year. It was SO MUCH stockinette to
- [Hetty Cardigan- A Blue Sweater for a Blue State](https://rakeandmake.com/hetty-cardigan-blue-sweater-blue-state/) - Happy post Thanksgiving weekend! Hope you all had a good one. I spent Thanksgiving day with friends, talking about how especially thankful we are (post-election) to have each other and to live in our little progressive bubble of the Pacific Northwest. I probably shouldn't say "progressive bubble" and not say that we also talked about how
- [Railroad Stripe Harlene Dungarees](https://rakeandmake.com/railroad-stripe-harlene-dungarees/) - I feel like I have been crossing so many garments off my "dream wardrobe" list lately and these railroad stripe Harlene Dungarees where high on that list. I had been looking for a classic overalls pattern and I already knew from sewing my first pair that the Harlene Dungarees fit the bill. Details Pattern Merchant and
- [Harlene Gardening Dungarees](https://rakeandmake.com/harlene-gardening-dungarees/) - For a long time, I have wanted a pair of overalls to garden in—something I didn't mind getting dirty in, was comfortable to wear, and didn't involve me constantly hiking them up so that the neighbors wouldn't see my butt crack when I bent over—basically a knock off pair of Carhartts. This past spring, I
- [Planting Garlic](https://rakeandmake.com/planting-garlic/) - In the Pacific Northwest, garlic can be planted throughout October and into early November, so if you are in this area you still have time! The way I learned how to plant garlic is that you should soak the cloves in a solution of water, seaweed extract or fish emulsion, and baking soda for a
- [Mid-rise Ginger Jeans](https://rakeandmake.com/mid-rise-ginger-jeans/) - Jean-making is one of things where you just have to jump in and go for it. I made jeans four years ago at the first Camp Workroom Social and had been hoarding enough Cone Denim (from the White Oak Mill before it closed) to make three more pairs, but for some reason was stalling on
- [Ellsworth Coat](https://rakeandmake.com/ellsworth-coat/) - Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. For the first time in 20 years, I was not working in retail over the holiday season, which means I was able to enjoy some time off. It was lovely and there were actually a couple of sunny days that I took full advantage
- [Seamwork Audrey Jacket](https://rakeandmake.com/seamwork-audrey-jacket/) - Ready-to-wear jean jackets have never fit me right. Being on the pair shaped side, they are often too big in the bust and too small at the waist and then don't button up very well. I had been wanting a well-fitted jean jacket for a long time and last fall, a friend of mine—who was
- [2020 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2020-year-in-review/) - It's taken me a couple of weeks to figure out what I want to say about 2020. Previous year in review posts pale in comparison to this one and I've had some crazy years! The year started normal enough, but no one (except maybe Bill Gates) expected what would soon come. Unlike previous years, I
- [Roasted Garlic and Yellow Tomato Soup](https://rakeandmake.com/roasted-garlic-yellow-tomato-soup/) - We're a finicky lot here in the Pacific Northwest. It's true that it rains a lot in the winter, so we crave sunny and warm days. We had a especially beautiful and unusually warm summer this year, but with many 90 degree days (which we're just not used to here), slaving in front of a hot stove
- [Black Tencel Twill Pietra Shorts](https://rakeandmake.com/black-tencel-twill-pietra-shorts/) - It's been a summer of new silhouettes for me, first with my Sallie Maxi Dress and then my Charlie Caftan. In keeping on the Closet Core train, next up (and possibly my last make of the summer) was a pair of Pietra Shorts in a perfect black tencel twill bottom weight from Stylemaker Fabrics. I
- [My First Ginger Jeans!](https://rakeandmake.com/ginger-jeans/) - It's not that I have been sewing faster than I can blog (I wish that were the case), but I am wearing stuff a lot before I blog about it. I think that's a good sign that I like what I am sewing these days! We finally had a sunny day in Seattle, so I
- [Skull Dot Carolyn Pajamas](https://rakeandmake.com/skull-dot-carolyn-pajamas/) - Pattern- Closet Case Files Carolyn Pajamas Fabric- Skull Dot Metallic Black by Sarah Watts from the Cotton and Steel Spellbound Collection from Pacific Fabrics I'm used to buying a maximum of 3 yards of fabric (to make a dress) and 5 yards were required for this pattern, so I was a tad nervous about buying this much fabric. This fabric felt so good
- [Red Plaid Carolyn Pajamas](https://rakeandmake.com/red-plaid-carolyn-pajamas/) - It's a Merry Day after Christmas for me! I've had some time off for the holidays, so finally had the chance to photograph a few garments that I've made recently, including my most recent pair of Closet Case Patterns Carolyn Pajamas! Like I said, it's the day after Christmas, so that's why there are no
- [Capri Length Mid-rise Ginger Jeans](https://rakeandmake.com/mid-rise-ginger-capri-jeans/) - It's pretty much true what they say about the weather in Seattle; it can be rainy, cold and dark here most of the year. When it comes to sweaters, pants and boots I am well covered, but every summer I find I am severely lacking in clothes for warmer weather. You probably won't ever catch
- [Closet Case Patterns Sophie Swimsuit](https://rakeandmake.com/closet-case-patterns-sophie-swimsuit/) - Growing up on the east coast, summer vacations often involved trips to the ocean, so I grew up a water baby. These days, I'm not the greatest technical swimmer, but I still love to be in the water. In Seattle, I don't get the chance to swim outdoors very much, but I'm definitely looking for
- [Forest Green Waterproof Kelly Anorak](https://rakeandmake.com/waterproof-kelly-anorak/) - The Kelly Anorak by Closet Case Patterns is an intermediate level pattern that can be made more complicated by adding a lining or working with different technical fabrics. Since I live in Seattle and it rains a lot here, I knew I wanted to make a waterproof version like the one Heather Lou made, so
- [Tie Dye Sallie Maxi Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/sallie-maxi-dress/) - It's sort of become a tradition for me to sew myself a dress for my birthday. By sort of, I mean I do it about every other year. With a big party out of the question this year, I didn't even think about sewing a dress until just a few days before my birthday. It
- [Pattern Testing: Grainline Studio Augusta Shirt](https://rakeandmake.com/grainline-studio-augusta-shirt/) - Back in April, I had the pleasure of pattern testing the Grainline Studio Augusta Shirt & Dress. This was early on in the pandemic, so while it was (and still is) a strange time, I remember it being a welcome distraction to have something else to focus on. Using pattern testers is a way for
- [Gray Plaid Archer Button Up](https://rakeandmake.com/gray-plaid-archer-button/) - Hello! So I haven't blogged since February and I'm not "ablogagizing", just stating a fact. I have probably missed blogging more than you have missed me, but I am back nonetheless. It's been an interesting year. My goal this year was to have more fun, which I feel like I succeeded in doing. I went
- [Polka Dot Chambray Archer Button Up](https://rakeandmake.com/dot-chambray-archer-button-up/) - I sewed my first Archer Button Up last year and it has quickly become a frequently worn wardrobe staple.

- [Buffalo Check Archer Button Up](https://rakeandmake.com/buffalo-check-archer-button-up/) - How have you all been? Has everybody still been sewing? Lately, I have been motivated to make things that I need, but it is also a nice escape sometimes. It probably goes without saying that these last few months have been unlike anything any of us have ever experienced in our lifetime. I remember thinking
- [Garlic Dill Refrigerator Pickles](https://rakeandmake.com/garlic-dill-refrigerator-pickles/) - The last few years, I have finally gotten growing cucumbers down to a science. Ever since we got some trees removed, the front yard gets plenty of sun now, so my yields overall have improved. With cucumbers specifically, I have gotten better at remembering to continually harvest, so that the plant keeps producing. What that
- [Zebra La Brea Tee](https://rakeandmake.com/zebra-la-brea-tee/) - I have begun to reach for the knit items in my wardrobe almost exclusively after months of working from home. As the weather has warmed up, I have also started to get sick of wearing the same couple of knit tees over and over again, so I realized I needed more knit t-shirts. Stores have
- [Fitting My Wedding Dress: Ava Muslin #2- a Wearable Muslin](https://rakeandmake.com/fitting-wedding-dress-muslin-2-wearable-muslin/) - It's hard to believe that it has been over a year already since Matt and I got engaged. It felt like we had so much time to plan the wedding and somehow, suddenly, it's only 9 weeks away! We are doing pretty well planning-wise. We were able to get the big things nailed down back
- [Palette Challenge- Completed Crepe Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/palette-challenge-completed-crepe-dress/) - Lilly's Completed Crepe dress
- [Nautical Birthday Emery Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/nautical-birthday-emery-dress/) - It's become a tradition for me to make myself a dress to wear at my annual chicken bingo birthday party and despite how busy I have been this year, I decided I couldn't break tradition and should sew a dress about a week before the party (this should sound familiar to a lot of you). Thanks
- [Matt's Birthday Colette Negroni #3](https://rakeandmake.com/matts-birthday-colette-negroni-3/) - If you participated in #virtualfrocktails back on April 4th, you may have seen this Colette Patterns Negroni I made for this handsome fella. Matt and I posted a pic of ourselves and did a little IG live in our #quarantinelife attire. It made me realize I hadn't blogged about either of our recent flannel makes.
- [Guest post by Flower- Fermented Lettuce](https://rakeandmake.com/guest-post-by-flower-fermented-lettuce/) - Every year I find myself elbow deep in greens. Early this year I planted four varieties of lettuce, two of them mustard greens. After many an inventive salad, it dawned on me: Could I ferment my greens? Lilly blessed me with an amazing crock so I have been doing quite a few ferments lately. Not
- [2020 Word of the Year: Slow](https://rakeandmake.com/2020-word-of-the-year-slow/) - We're just over a week into February, which means we are almost to the eighth anniversary of Rake and Make! Since I started blogging in 2012, many bloggers have left this sphere in exchange for the shorter form of Instagram. I understand why and sometimes think I should do the same, but what keeps me
- [2019 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2019-year-in-review/) - Like most years, 2019 had its highs and lows, but overall it was a productive year for me. I had some personal stress and drama—my mantra for a couple of months was "the only way out is through"—but I just did the best I could and tried to learn from it. I also course corrected
- [2019 Goals](https://rakeandmake.com/2019-goals/) - Okay, my last post was maybe a little somber, but I swear this post will be way more upbeat. I am actually super excited about this year. Matt and I have dubbed 2019 "The Year of Getting Shit Done". You know, all of the little nagging things that have been on our to-do lists forever.
- [2014 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2014-year-review/) - Looking back at 2014 is tricky. It was a year of a lot of change.

- [2013 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2013-year-in-review/) - Well, 2013 is over. Following on the heels of a previous rough year, 2013 was a year of serious ups and downs and it started at the very bottom.

Continuing on with my "cake" kick, I recently sewed not just one, but two Hey June Handmade Halifax Hoodies!

- [French Navy Stellan Tee](https://rakeandmake.com/stellan-tee/) - I'm still on the kick of sewing things that I will actually wear a lot. What that means, is that I am sewing a lot of basics. Or as it's called in the sewing world "cake", which is the opposite of "frosting" (fancy dresses and things that may not get worn as often). Read this
- [Pacific Leggings and Dunbar Top](https://rakeandmake.com/pacific-leggings-and-dunbar-top/) - Making my own activewear and has been a goal of mine for a while, so I am very excited to have made my first ever workout outfit using the Sewaholic Patterns Pacific Leggings and Dunbar Top patterns!

- [Helen's Closet Blackwood Cardigan](https://rakeandmake.com/helens-closet-blackwood-cardigan/) - Meet my newest favorite wardrobe staple: the Blackwood Cardigan from Helen's Closet!

- [Pattern Testing: Maeve Makes Pooze Pouch](https://rakeandmake.com/pattern-testing-pooze-pouch/) - Fanny packs are one of those things that people seem to be divided on. You either love em' or you hate em'. Most of the people I know are pro-fanny pack and I definitely stand on the side of, "What's not to love?". To me, they are both functional and fashionable! So when Maeve Blessing
- [Sew Bibs Challenge: Tilly and the Buttons Cleo Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/sew-bibs-challenge-tilly-and-the-buttons-cleo-dress/) - There are so many sewing challenges now—and that's a good thing—but besides Me Made May and Sewvember, I haven't really participated that much. It's not for any particular reason, it usually just has to do with time (like not enough of it), but the stars actually aligned for me and the Sew Bibs Challenge! If
- [Striped Oslo Cardigan](https://rakeandmake.com/striped-oslo-cardigan/) - One of the things I love about sewing is that once you've made something successfully, the second time you make it is so much faster!

- [2016 Year In Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2016-year-review/) - Happy New Year! Wait, what? It's February, I know, but due to too many New Year's resolutions (Whole30, a fitness challenge and getting back into ukulele lessons), this is the first chance I've had to do a "Year in Review" post. I have written a Year in Review post every year since I started blogging as Rake and Make, so
- [Cotton and Steel Garden Apron](https://rakeandmake.com/garden-apron/) - As I write this post, it's a fairly typical rainy and windy Seattle day. I don't mind this time of year because this is when I can stay indoors and sew and knit (and not feel guilty about it). It's also when I can take time to plan ahead for the upcoming gardening season. You
- [My Sewing Room](https://rakeandmake.com/sewing-room-tour/) - After 10 years of living in my house, I finally get the bigger spare bedroom for my sewing room!

- [Seed Starting: Newspaper Pots](https://rakeandmake.com/seed-starting-newspaper-pots/) - In the Pacific Northwest, it's time to start your garden—or at least start thinking about your garden—if you haven't already.

- [2017 Goals](https://rakeandmake.com/2017-goals/) - I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions, but sometimes the new year is just the push I need to do the things I've been thinking about for a while. The rainy, dark winters in Seattle can make getting motivated challenging and the last few months of 2016 were especially tough. I needed to get
- [2016 Goals](https://rakeandmake.com/2016-goals/) - Last year, I wanted a better sense of balance in my life. I feel like I achieved that by making some big changes, such as getting a new job and being more choosy about what I do with my free time. I've been purposely trying to move towards quality over quantity, so this year "intention" feels like it should be the word of
- [2018 Year in Review](https://rakeandmake.com/2018-year-in-review/) - In 7 years of this blog, I have only missed one "Year in Review" and that was last year. I also didn't write a goals post, so we don't have to talk about how far I got with my goals. There were a lot of things going on at the beginning of 2018, as life
- [Victory Patterns Chloe Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/victory-patterns-chloe-dress/) - After I finished my Ellsworth Coat, something must have shifted—maybe it unblocked my sew-jo—because I have been completing projects left and right since then! Like the Ellsworth Coat, this un-blogged make is also from last October, but it's what I made at last year's Camp Workroom Social Dressmaking class (the Ellsworth Coat was made in
- [Clarke Pullover](https://rakeandmake.com/clarke-pullover/) - I just realized that (according to Ravelry) I have been knitting for over six years now! You would think I would have gotten faster in that time, but for some reason I'm still a pretty slow knitter. I must be getting slightly faster though, because I knit a Clarke Pullover by Jane Richmond in less
- [Camp Workroom Social 2017](https://rakeandmake.com/camp-workroom-social-2017/) - It's been almost a month since I was at Camp Workroom Social and I try to keep the "camp" feeling alive as long as I can after it ends.

- [Matt's Birthday Negroni #2](https://rakeandmake.com/matts-birthday-negroni-2/) - Happy September! Summer feels like it flew by and already the signs of fall are beginning to show; it's getting dark earlier and the evenings are starting to get chilly.

- [Cloth Habit Harriet Bra](https://rakeandmake.com/harriet-bra/) - You guys! I made a bra! And I made it over a year ago! In fact, I made it at Camp Workroom Social in 2016.

Everything is dead and rain soaked in my yard at the moment, so this makes me happy
- [40th Birthday Cambie Dress](https://rakeandmake.com/40th-birthday-cambie-dress/) - I try to sew myself a dress for my birthday every year, but only manage to get to it about every other year. It's a good goal though, because it gives me a deadline and feels special to wear on my birthday. One year, I sewed myself a Colette Crepe and the year I got married I wore my
- [Staple Dress #2- Birds in Flight Double Gauze](https://rakeandmake.com/staple-dress-number-two/) - I'm happy to say, I have been sewing and knitting like crazy and I have several projects backlogged to share.
