Hi, I’m Sam.

I love making things. I’m an engineer by trade and a creative person by heart. I love color, plants, yoga, and fabric.

I sell laser cut art and jewelry at SamanthaSews.

You know us... just going for an after dinner stroll to get an ice cream (yes “after dinner” was like 6pm) after spending much of the afternoon in the ocean watching the planes fly by 😍 Such a wonderful holiday day with my handsome photographer.

Jumpsuit is #simplicity1355 and fabric is one of my favorites from Jaipur. My one mod to the pattern is I sewed the back shut (rather than a wrap over) and added an invisible zipper in the side seam.

Today’s #memade is this gray heather tee, it’s a basic tee with 3/4 sleeves but I added little sleeve tabs with some of my FAVORITE buttons. They’re from my magical aunt Jeanie button box, of course.

Green shorts are @gap and they’re perfect for shorts Friday at work!

I like buying rayon fabrics because they have a wide variety of prints, but they’re not very comfortable to wear. Here I combined this one, a cute translucent striped fabric, with a knit yoke to make it comfy and wearable.

Today’s church outfit: an old circle skirt that I made in 2012 when I lived in Somerville, MA. I love how a handmade wardrobe becomes a time capsule, a vessel for storing memories. I remember finding this fabric at one of the local fabric stores, and cutting out the skirt on the floor of the skylight-filled attic bedroom where I lived. I loved that summer.

Necklace is @freckledpottery (a gift from David) and I just love it.

Hair is still feeling great. No regrets!

Thanks @pablothestylist for the chop! It feels great ☺️

This morning! I walked to the beach to read in my comfy pants. I made these pants for my trip to Jaipur in 2019, and during blockprinting class with wonderful @jenhewett I took my block and printed a border on my pants. I love it.
Pants pattern: #simplicity1887

Tomorrow, this hair is getting CHOPPED! I can’t wait to be free. I’m donating it, and nervous it will end up a bit short... but I have a lot of hair to spare.

#ithaspockets ! I was scheduled to read at Mass this morning so I wore my favorite lector dress.
I love the giant poppies on this fabric and I love how maxi dresses are so effortlessly comfortable!

Today’s #memademay - I love these shorts I made last year. Elastic waist, pockets, and block printed fabric from India - three of my favorite things.

And I may have made a hashtag just to compare this braid to my braid from last July... #samsewsquarantinehair
It’s almost time to chop it all off! I want to make sure I have enough so that I can still make a ponytail after I chop and donate it. I think we are almost there! 💇🏻‍♀️
