Raspberry Creek Fabrics Holiday Blog Tour

There's just something fun about making dresses for the Christmas season! When I spotted this lovely red stretch velvet in the Raspberry Creek Fabrics collection, I knew it would be perfect for the Holiday Blog Tour AND a Peony Patterns Nettle Dress! I didn't have time to sew this one during the testing period, but…

Raspberry Creek Fabrics Christmas Collection 2022

I'm excited to share the newest collection of fabrics from Raspberry Creek! The Christmas collection this year has a number of "mini" collections, which are perfect for creating a cohesive look in your Christmas sewing projects! Since RCF are unable to print a dark background on their cotton based fabrics, I was excited to see…

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…

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…

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…

Peony Patterns Calendula – It’s Bluey!

One of the benefits of being an Aussie expat and still having family within driving distance of Spotlight, is being able to get your hands on the elusive Bluey fabric! My sister managed to pick up a couple of metres for me a few months back and sent it to me in a care package!…

Peony Patterns Calendula Dress {Release}

I'm so excited about the new Calendula dress from Peony Patterns, designed by their newest pattern designer, Annie Arana! Annie is based in Western Australia and will be focused on *knit* patterns for kids. Huzzah! My youngest, in particular, adores all the knit dresses because they're so much easier for her to put on. And…
