Welcome to my blog! I created ‘The Ravel Out’ to capture my makes while I unravel my sewing ideas, one stitch at a time.

Ravel (out)

verb

  1. unravel; untangle.

  2. undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads).

Two-for-One

With warm weather on my mind, I've been trying to find ways to quickly fill up my closet with fun, handmade clothing. I found a great pattern to help me with this mission. I love how my first try went so i'll definitely be making a couple more. What makes it even better is that there are so many ways this look can be worn - with a belt, without a belt, with a blazer, with heels, the list goes on! FullSizeRender
