Summer/Spring DIY Roundup

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5

Hey Everyone!

How are you? Any special 4th of July plans? I wish I was one of those people that gets into holiday sewing. I always admire folks who take the time to make a red,white and blue kind of sewing project. Or costume sew for Halloween. or make matching christmas pajamas for their kids. Thats just not my thing. lol!

I am looking forward to the 4th of July holiday though. My kids are away with their dad but my brother and his family are flying in from Arizona. I am really looking forward to spending sometime with my nieces and nephews.

This week’s post is a Sew Easy Summer Sewing Pattern Round UP. Like I mentioned when I announced this series I was looking to sew projects that had minimal pattern pieces (5 or less), no zipper or button closures. Pretty much anything that I can pull up or pull over my head. I also thought some of you might be feeling kind of craft lazy this summer also and would like to keep sewing projects laid back and easy. Below is a list of what I pulled from the latest spring/summer collections from the Big 3 as well as a few indy patterns companies.

For this list I just linked you to a handful of company websites because many of them only have a handful of patterns on their site. Many of which are stylish, very easy and beginner friendly. Its worth the extra effort to spend time on their sites. They often have really great blogs and tutorials in addition to their shop.

That’s it! A nice round up of some great and easy sewing patterns to help you build your handmade summer wardrobe without too much fuss. Have a great 4th of July holiday everyone! Catch you next week…

Hello Everyone!

I hope your week is going well! I’m a little behind on my post this week. I closed on my house last week Friday yaaay! And my children returned from their summer away with dad and I’ve been working on getting them ready for their first day of school. So It’s been a little hectic!

This week marks a benchmark for the blog. We made it through our first season! One of my blogging goals when I started The Modest Life was to have a place where I could develop and document my creative process.

So to have made it through our first season is a huge celebration for me. I’ve learned so much about blogging, but also about things like my personal style and photography. It has also challenged me to remain consistent and confident in what I create and share with you all!

So this week I thought it would be only fitting to post a round up of all of my spring/summer makes! I love them all but I definitely have a few favorites. If you missed the original posts with the details of each make. No worries! I made sure to link to the orginal posts under each photo. I’d love to hear in the comments which was your favorite look!

I also wanted to thank all of you for supporting The Modest Life. Your comments and likes of each post keep me encouraged to keeping going. I’m working on fall/winter and I can’t wait to bring you all what I hope to be really great content!

That’s it for now! Until next time!

❤️ xoxo,

Iris
