My Favorite Manhattan

February 6, 2018April 14, 2018 Dani Malloy8 Comments

You order a Manhattan, and the bartender grabs a dusty, room temperature bottle of Martini & Rossi vermouth. That usually means two things: 1. You should have ordered a beer, and 2. That cocktail is going to suck. I’ve learned my lesson: Make Manhattans at home!

P.S. Yes, you should refrigerate your vermouth.

Loving my @truebias Nova Jumpsuit! We took these photos when I was 20.5 weeks pregnant, and it’s still fitting great two weeks later. Hoping that I’ll get several more weeks of mileage out of it as the bump grows! 🤰🏻I ACTUALLY blogged about this (link in bio) so you can read the full deets there. Essentially I sewed a size bigger than I normally would (10 versus 8). I also added 3” total to the length, but i could stand to add one more inch to the legs. (I’m 6 feet tall for reference.) I don’t want to do a ton of maternity sewing, but rather find some pieces that can work whether I’m pregnant, postpartum and beyond! (I’m sure once i get big enough I’ll have to live in maternity leggings.) I’m all ears if you have ideas for transitional patterns! #sewing #maternitysewing #maternitystyle #sewcialists #sewingtall #novajumpsuit #isewmyownclothes #sewingtall #20weeks #latergram
We’re having a baby girl this July! Marc and I are thrilled. Let the matching baby outfit sewing commence! 👶🏻 ❤️ #pregnancyannouncement #july2021babies #21weekspregnant #shesathinker
It finally happened: A matching outfit for Cora and me. 🐕 👩🏻 👚 👚 I used the leftover @girlcharlee French terry knit from my #lindensweatshirt to copy a Reddy-brand sweater we bought awhile back for Cora. It fits great but sadly she despises wearing clothes, maybe you can tell from the pics? 😂 But when it’s single digits girl’s gotta have an extra layer. 🥶 #isew #sewingfordogs #dogsweater #handmade #muttsofinstagram #ilovemydog
A super quick @grainlinestudio Linden Sweatshirt was necessary after finishing a mini quilt! I realized I hadn’t made one of these since I got my serger, which was over three years ago I think?? This came together in an afternoon 🙌🏻 I cut a size 8 and added 2.5” length to the body and 1.5” to the sleeves (I’m 6ft tall with a long torso for reference). I bought this French terry tie dye knit from @girlcharlee with every intention of making some lounge pants or joggers, but it screamed “SWEATSHIRT” when i opened the package so here we are. I finished the neckline with some cream ribbing from my stash and cut the sleeve and hem bands on the opposite grain for some visual interest. #sewing #isewmyownclothes #isew #sewingknits #grainlinelinden #grainlinestudio #lindensweatshirt #tiedye #sewcialists #loungewear #sewingtall
