I mean I've downloaded around 8 patterns and counting. The reason I enjoy them so much...they are so easy. Terribly easy. And, a quick sew - the Harem Pants pattern took me a total of 15 minutes - with the occasional stop to check in on Dylan. With Dylan growing so quickly and going through clothes left and right - it's nice to have these patterns in all sizes to make more clothes to throw into his wardrobe. With one yard of fabric, I can get 3-4 pieces out of it at for the 3-6 month size. Talk about a cost saver, 3-6 different articles of clothing for a $17 yard of fabric - WOWZA!<br />
<br />
So I thought I would review a few patterns for you from the brand here over the next few weeks. First up, the Harem Pants - no cuff. I found This pattern to be a breeze, and this is coming from someone who has used a commercial pattern to sew a similar item and struggled. The cut is quick and simple - just three pieces - the back, front and waist band.<br />

I needed to make no alterations for my little one. And the assembly, even easier. The pattern recommends a serger, but I used my overcasting foot on my sewing machine. You simply serge/sew the front to the back. Next, serge/sew the waistband together, fold it in half right side up, then place it inside the pant where the right sides are together. Sew it together, turn the pants inside out and voila. Hem the bottom of the pant and you're done. </div>

You'll want to use some nice stretchy knits for this, and the softer - the better. I also trace patterns, so I don't cut them - so that means I can go back and whip these out at every size for Dylan. Love it! </div>

But, I have been CRAVING chicken. And not just any kind of chicken, SPICY, HOT, CHICKEN. Thank heavens Google came to the rescue with a number of recipes to choose from. I did cut some corners to make things a bit more healthy. First of all, I used organic chicken breasts, organic flour for the breading and almond milk for dredging. Then for the hot chicken rub, I used coconut oil, hot sauce and my spices.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h5UJojo_b_Y/WmnNXxCJBMI/AAAAAAAAGLU/1GgDYi6BamwCA35tsPZab3wdpP8AHafBQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_5610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h5UJojo_b_Y/WmnNXxCJBMI/AAAAAAAAGLU/1GgDYi6BamwCA35tsPZab3wdpP8AHafBQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_5610.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here's what I did to make this so delicious, my husband asked for it by request. First, I used Texas Pete Hot Sauce. I don't know if it's available nationwide so any other trusted hot sauce may do the trick. Second, since the chicken breasts I used are skinless, I soaked them in a mixture of almond milk, Texas Pete's Hot Sauce, and Cayenne Pepper for 2 hours. This made the absorption of the flour more clingy and built a better crust. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it came to frying, I used peanut oil and fried for 13 minutes. This may take a longer or shorter amount time depending on the size of the chicken. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the chicken is done frying, use a pastry brush and brush the rub over the chicken. The hot chicken rub consists of paprika, brown sugar, pepper, chili powder, hot sauce, and coconut oil. </div>

My husband suffers from a dairy allergy, which prohibits him from having a lot of sweet treats. With my baking past, this challenges me to make vegan treats that we both can enjoy. Enter mu, me-made vegan cinnamon rolls. De-lish! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I used <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/206039751686294517/?source_app=android">this</a> recipe, and instead of eggs used Bob's Red Mill Flax Meal, vegan butter, and unsweetened almond milk. The results? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Something that went WAY too fast at our Christmas Eve Gathering. I just made another batch for NYE. So worth it! </div>

What are your vegan dishes? What have you made recently? </div>

I ended up having to have a c-section because my boy was sunny side up and just not burying. It would have not been my first choice, but my doctor was absolutely amazing and did not put me or Dylan at risk. I think he is absolutely beautiful. I was able to make a few things for him prior to his arrival. Mainly a hat, swaddle sack and some lounge pants. The hats I got the idea from Made Everyday. ( I love Dana!) And the pants I hacked a pattern I found on Pinterest. I'm sharing some photos of Dylan here, and my makes. Be back soon!<br />

Between doctors appointments, a full-time job, a full court press on volunteer efforts, and prepping for Baby time flies. But we are really close now, 4 weeks out to be exact. I’m looking forward to taking some time off and bonding with my little one. I of course have sewing plans, and one of my goals for next year is sewing pieces that are timely and express my style. I am obsessed with the sketch below, I don’t know if it’s the wide leg pant or the wine jersey that I’m dying to cut into. But I cannot wait to see this!! What are you guys waiting to sew? I literally don’t even feel like I have a size right now, so this is totally on the post baby list. Check out my sketch!<br />

We were BLESSED, to have minimal damage mainly to our master bedroom and not to take on water in our home. We got REALLY close to having water come into our home, and I spent every night during the storm watching in fear as the water came closer. To come through that you think, "Shew! We've made it." And, then you hear from your friends and neighbors and reality sets in. So many, lost everything- all that they had. And, it's devastating. I saw light in so many though, people helping people, students from Texas City High working hard to help with cleanup efforts, my local women's group mobilizing to do the same, and my chapter of the Junior League putting together a fund to help the community. If you're not from Texas, you probably hear all the time how STRONG we are and how we have big hearts. Well it's all true and we ARE. This is a rough patch, but we will rebuild and we will prevail. If you are able and would like to help and cannot be here in person, donate to the Red Cross or you can donate to the Junior League's fund as well. And if you are unable to give, just pray for us that our city will b<span style="text-align: center;">e restored soon with God's Grace.</span><br />

Thursday is such a positive day of the week, right?! I mean Friday is drawing near, if you're me, it's pay day(Yaaasss!), and you're already making plans for the weekend. But if you suffer from Anxiety, you might be thinking, "Oh my gosh, we only get two days." It takes time to break the cycle of living for the weekend and being terrified of Monday. We are BLESSED to have each day, to do what we love, to be able to pursue our dreams - so why do we feel dread? It could be a lot of things - people you work with, tests you are about to take, a major life change. It's hard, I know. But think of this, what rain comes from today's issues, will be tomorrow's sunshine. I read somewhere that Beyonce gives herself one day to be sad, and then bounces back the next day. I think that's a great rule of thumb, be sad, be mad, cry and then the next next day GO KICK BUTT! Being Zen is not sitting in a tree and getting your Yoda on, it's accepting the moment, appreciating the lesson, and moving forward with love and light. I challenge you this week to find Zen in your good and bad moments, and keep moving forward.<br />
<br />
XO,<br />

I don't know what it is about Maternity and Kimonos, but I have several in my upcoming projects. I think it's that they are comfy and I can pair them with jeans and tank tops. I LOVE the comfort, but ADORE the style. Check out my mood board, and if you're preggo tell me are you rocking kimonos right now. </div>

But guess what y'all?! I'm having a baby. That's right - a B-A-B-Y. And, I'm excited. I'm also constantly evolving in terms of what I'm interested in and new things to conquer. My plan is to become certified as a Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Specialist - but more on that later. And to sew, yes to sew all day long! Updates are needed, I know, I know. But, they are coming! So Stay Tuned!<br />

I member to all the wine clubs, I shop at all the boutiques, I try to speak German - well not really. But I love it! So my latest trip to Fredricksburg was so inspirational. What I loved most was all of the cute flowy clothes, and the quilts, and the needle work. Loved everything I saw, and it definitely made me want to sew a few things and get back on my quilt grind.<br />
<br />
<br />
Saw this carbon copy of McCall's M7577 ...on the list.<br />

Super excited when I see a sale, especially when I see a pattern sale. When you sew you spend a lot of time visualizing a project and unless you see like this person (see link: http://snip.ly/zv6wx), you need a pattern to bring your vision to life. You can make a pattern, but really you need the pattern to even learn how to do that. So I'm always excited when there is a pattern sale. I'm a member of the McCall Pattern Club - which includes - Butterick, Vogue, Kwik Sew and a few more. I'm obsessed with Vogue patterns. Want to see my haul? Of course you do, especially if you've read this far! So here's my haul!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little lovely has been on my radar for a while! I love the look of the long sleeve dress, and I have a FEW dress ideas. The short sleeve option also is must for me as the ever humid Houston summers rapidly approach. The lines on this are to die for!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm in love with the jumpsuit in this pattern! I mean it is chic AF, no lie. I have a few colors I want to try, but my go to fall is always shades of pink. I also envision a navy option for evenings and events.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This skirt pattern is going to get through my holiday formal season. I love the high-low formal skirt and the fact that it is a full circle skirt. I'm thinking sequins, satin, a velvet option. The sky is the limit, which is why I love sewing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The next is this lovely formal dress slip dress. It seems pretty straight forward, but the darts and seams in the back scare me a bit. I know that vogue described it as, "very easy", but we shall see how a sewist with only 1-2 years under her belt tackles it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And last but not least, this awesome vintage pattern. I'm loving the waist on this - I'm not going to lie to you - I have curves. And, a dress with this shape and waist always makes me feel beautiful. I can't wait to whip this up! I'd love to do one ASAP, so I'll share results with photos, of course...lol</div>

You guys know I've been sewing up a storm. I love the critical thinking and creativity that goes along with sewing. Sometimes you will find me just sitting alone in my craft room, thinking through how to execute a technique or looking at fabric. With that in mind, I knew quilting was a logical next step. I love the fact that a quilting project is not just a blanket for your bed, but a piece of art - created by you.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Quilts in history have always intrigued me, the fact that they were something created long ago and still around today captivate me. I didn't want anything terribly complicated for my first forray. I decided to go with the Aria quilt, created by Suzy @ Suzy Quilts. The most tedious thing about this quilt is the splotch like circles. The pattern requires 168. Yep, 168! That is a lot of circles. And needle turn appliqué, Suzy makes it seem like a breeze, and I think she's just more coordinated than me, but mine not the same. I still love what I have so far though - I have no eta for completion either... lol But you can follow along on my Instagram @tammieloves. </div>

My instructor at a local college was overwhelmed with the amount of students in the class, each with their own pattern, and I often felt ignored. Even in that moment, I still had a great passion for sewing and creating my own clothes but put it on the back burner for the time being. Enter my Mom, who I completely forgot was basically a seamstress some time ago - working in a garment factory. So I thought, this is awesome, spend time with Mom and make garments. Perfect! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Well here I am three months into the process and I'm still loving it. I get excited putting together my own pieces and rocking the finished product. Most recently I completed Simplicity Pattern 1318. This is the pattern for a kimono jacket I've wanted to make every since I saw this <a href="http://www.iamwithwendy.com/blogfull/2015/12/11/diy-velvet-cardigankimono">tutorial</a>. I intended originally to make the same exact version of <a href="http://www.iamwithwendy.com/blogfull/2015/12/11/diy-velvet-cardigankimono">With</a><a href="http://www.iamwithwendy.com/blogfull/2015/12/11/diy-velvet-cardigankimono"> </a>Wendy's Velvet Kimono, but after buying the fabric - was inspired to add Fringe instead. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The Simplicity Pattern was easy enough to follow. Pattern instructions are still a bit of a mystery to me, so there was a good deal of Google involved. The sleeves proved to be most challenging because of their volume and the need to hem them. My machine also struggled to <u>sew</u> the 6 inch chainette black fringe. I think all the little pieces just were just making my machine very grumpy. But, I completed it and I love it. It feels like it's not cold enough to wear it everyday because even though this is a velvet panne, it tends to be very warm. It's supposed to get chilly this weekend - color me excited. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Xo, </p>
<p dir="ltr">Tammie </p>

Hey guys! So I know everyone is excited about fall fashion or at least I am. But I wanted to put up a post specifically about the "Fall Delicates". That's right, the pretty dainty delicates we wear under our favorite pieces of clothing. That's right - Lingerie! Soft frilly, lovely, plush and soft - lingerie is gorgeous. Since reigniting my passion for sewing and taking on many projects - one that really interests me is sewing lingerie. Though not creating anything just yet, I was inspired to post some of my favorite lingerie pieces and fall delicate inspo. Check it out in the photos here! </div>

I have always wanted to go to Sonoma, but with expenses and my lack of vacation time - it's looking less likely this year. What's a girl to do? Go to Fredericksberg! Yep, you heard me right! Fredericksberg, TX! While it's not humidity free like California - it is beautiful. I went on a Girl's Weekend with my sister and we had an awesome time. My favorite winery to visit was Grape Creek. Their sweeter wines were some of the best, especially since I am not a sweet drinker. I would recommend their Rose' and Reisling. Delightful! I'd also recommend the Inn on Barron Creek for loding. Great service and the room was HUGE! There is also great shopping with cute boutique shops, and my new favorite diner, City Cafe. So good! Can't wait to get back again! </div>

I gotta say, there is something so peaceful about watercoloring! I get stuck on certain objects and want to perfect them. Right now, I'm all about the watercolor wreathe and calligraphy combo. I wanted to make a special note for my friend for an upcoming event - and crafted the lovely card featured. This is the second attempt. I loved the first one, but I suffer from "add too much crap" syndrome and altered it in a way I didn't like it. I love the version featured and the the accompanying envelope.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Another new thing - bullet journaling. Okay I love keeping a planner, pretty. But actually adding data and using it, no bueno. I started watching YouTube videos about bullet journaling, and fell in love. I love the mix of function and traditional journaling. I'm just getting started but so far so good. I'll share more in the coming weeks.</div>

I sometimes scribe all day, without tiring. Currently I'm taking a bunch of online classes and practice tutorials that I've found online. Do you scribe like a Victorian? Share your practice pages with me, I'd love to see. </p>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wWrU8RhzfGQ/Vbe_Ax9zlqI/AAAAAAAACcM/wC8tTx6W_Jk/s1600/4776c5a04829ac94c74af2436663a814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wWrU8RhzfGQ/Vbe_Ax9zlqI/AAAAAAAACcM/wC8tTx6W_Jk/s320/4776c5a04829ac94c74af2436663a814.jpg" /></a>So I love blogging, but to be honest I got a little out of touch with it. My business blog was so focused on my business. My fashion blog was uber focused on fashion - more so than it probably needed to be. So I got rid of that darn thing and took it back to the beginning and ...me. I'm at a pivotal time in my life - there are things that used to matter to me that just don't anymore. It's a new day, a new journey and I want to share and inspire people with my story versus try to outdo, one up and impress. This new blog is called Tammie Loves..because it's about what I love. There will be pop culture, because I'm obsessed. Photography because it's my passion. Fitness because it's a current journey. And of course, style and my current path as small business owner. I love to cook and entertain - and I hope to share little of that too. At the heart of it, this will be a lifestyle blog, but this is just the beginning. I'm starting down this path and will see where I go. So I hope you follow along - I can't wait to share this new chapter in my life.
