Hello there!

I'm Cara. Thanks for stopping by! Let's get crafty!

Follow @thatcraftycara on Instagram!

I finished my first dress! (And it is fantastic for twirling!) 😍 °•°•°•°•° I don't like to post about a finished dress right before I wear it to #church because it feels a little like, "Hey church friends! Notice me at church today!" So you're getting very-quickly-done shots from my driveway when we got home. (I also know I won't post about this dress if I don't do it TODAY/the first time I wear it. Rushed shots are better than no shots! 👍 °•°•°•°•° The fabric is a lovely stretch sateen from @teliofashion, purchased from @stylemakerfabrics while I was at @sewexpo this year. The bright yellow bias binding is @konacotton "Citrus." °•°•°•°•° The bodice is straight-up just my sloper bodice (McCalls 7279) after all the necessary fitting, attached to the box-pleat skirt of the Emerald Faille Party Dress in #gertiesultimatedressbook by @gertie18. I bound all my raw edges, and freehand cut some keyholes in the sleeves, and I love, love, love this dress so crazy freakin' much! 😍😍😍 Woo hoo for finally finishing #caraslemondress!!! 🍋🍋🍋 °•°•°•°•° #sewing #sew #sewingproject #sewingaddict #sewinglove #sewcialists #clothing #modestclothing #dress #partydress #dressmaker #dressmaking #dressoftheday #dresslover #midi #mididress #creative #diy #diyproject #finish #finished #learning #calledtobecreative #makersgonnamake #lemon #navy

Look what Renaissance made for me! 💕 She learned to embroider two weeks ago, and asked for more patterns, and when she saw these adorable @penguinandfish ones she was sold. She whipped then up, painted the frames, and left them on my cutting mat for me to find. 😊😊😊 They're now hanging proudly in the entrance to my craft room. °•°•°•°•° #embroidery #embroidered #embroideryart #embroiderylove #craftycat #knittykitty #penguinbrooke #handembroidery #crafty #craftykids #makersgonnamake #calledtobecreative #gift #grateful

😤😤😤 I have to wait before working on my #carassmittenquilt because my thread is too thick and showing my stitches! Boo. 😖 °•°•°•°•° What are your favorite thinner threads? I'm leaning towards Aurifil 80wt because I like 100% cotton, and all the others I've seen have some polyester content, which I don't like. °•°•°•°•° I think I'll go unearth some long-abandoned early #epp project so that I can continue participating in the #sipteaandepp party with @mollyandmama and @stitchingnotes! #englishpaperpiecing #englishpaperpiecingeverywhere #sewingparty #handsewing #quilt #sewistsofinstagram #slowstitching #slowstitchsunday #calledtobecreative #makersgonnamake #crafty #craftymom #summer #quiltingismytherapy #sewingisfun #smittenquilt

Do you see one of your favorite prints? 😍 °•°•°•°•° With the hand piecing coming to an end on my patriotic star quilt, I need to start loading my portable sewing kit with pieces for the next quilt! I went stash-diving and had so much fun unearthing scraps of some old favorites! °•°•°•°•° I'm going with a vibrant pastel rainbow color palette on this next quilt--working with the very limited red, white, and blue palette of the patriotic quilt started wearing on me after five years of stitching. 😜 Time for some color variety!!! Which ones do you think I should definitely use? °•°•°•°•° #fabricpull #workingmystashoff #sewyourstash #stashbusting #stopstashingstartsewing #scrapsaremyfavorite #fabric #quilt #scrappyquilt #scrapquilt #ilovesewing #ilovequilting #quiltersofinstagram #quiltingisfun #quiltinglife #choices #rainbow #color #pastel #newproject #itbegins #excited #pretty °•°•°•°•°
