Twirling in Liberty of London! {for FabricMart}

I was OH SO excited to spot Liberty of London at Fabric Mart recently, and just HAD to sew it up for my quarterly Fabricista project! Deals at Fabric Mart don't last long, so when you see something you want, you need to snap it up immediately. This can also result in a very overflowing…

It’s Bluey! (and) Costume Week at Peony Patterns

This week I'm hosting the Peony Patterns' Costume Party over on their blog, and while I hadn't intended on sewing up a costume myself, after seeing so many amazing projects, I had to get in on the action too! My youngest is obsessed with the Bluey tv show, so when I spotted a similar inspired…

Roller Skate Calendula Dress

I just can't stop sewing Calendula dresses! My eldest got into roller skating late last year and when I saw this Indy Bloom roller skate fabric from Hawthorne Threads, I just had to have it! The fabric is a custom print available in "little" and "big". I went with the little version, but I wish…

You Had Me At Sushi!

When my kids saw that the new Raspberry Creek Fabrics Fall Collection had SUSHI fabric, it was pretty much an expectation that I'd be making them something with it! My eldest requested a top and my son surprised me by saying he wanted a sushi shirt too. And, unsurprisingly for him - a tshirt with…

Raspberry Creek specialize in custom printed fabrics, and while they're mostly known for…

Peony Patterns Mariposa Hand Embroidery {Release}

Summertime by the pool is the perfect opportunity to lose yourself in an embroidery project. As long as you're not chatty like me, and find yourself talking to all the other parents instead of working on the embroidery you'd planned to do for 3 hours while your kids swam. Ahem. So, this week I hunkered…

Jalie Faux Jumpsuit + Minerva Viscose

Hi sewing friends! A few months ago I signed up to receive Minerva's newest exclusive product, their custom designed Viscose Challis line! They had so many gorgeous new prints, it was hard to pick, but I settled on this bold floral design for my first selection! Normally my kids get all my nice fabrics, but…

Itch to Stitch Soller Top & Dress {Release}

I always love a quick and easy sewing pattern test, especially when the end result is so satisfying! The new Soller Top and Dress from Itch to Stitch checks off that box - I was able to get it cut and sewn in just a couple of hours and I love how it turned out!…

Peony Patterns Calendula in Jersey & Chiffon

A few months ago, I was checking out the $3 p/yard remnant room of one of our local fabric stores (G Street Fabrics), when I found some polkadot ITY knit and a matching polkadot chiffon! With no project in mind, but in awe that I'd stumbled upon two identical prints on two different bases in…
