As soon as I saw this striped viscose fabric, I KNEW it had to be a shirt dress! Truth is, I've been wanting a striped shirt dress for years now, but never had the chance to make one. Jalie Florence caught my eye, and after scouring some Instagram versions for inspo, I set to work!… Continue reading Jalie Florence Dress for Minerva
I'm so excited to be a Fabric Mart Fabricista this year! Given that most of my fabric stash is from their store, it seemed a perfect match! In my first post on their Fabricista blog, I'm sharing a girls' spring mini capsule wardrobe with just 4 of their fabrics and a $50 budget! I really… Continue reading Girls’ Spring Capsule – for Fabric Mart!

My husband doesn't get a whole lot of sewing love. I've made him a grand total of 4 things: a woodworking apron, a star wars themed t-shirt (plus the wearable muslin), a really awesome jacket, and finally a Star Wars themed hoodie! Up until a few days before Christmas, I had no plans to actually… Continue reading Finally: Hoodie for my Husband!

I've been a long time fan of Wolf & Rabbit Fabrics, and when I saw the latest preorder collection with puffins, fish, pandas, rainbows and more, I knew I had to sew some up! My son doesn't get a whole lot of sewing love, so I decided to make him the priority for this round of sewing! Thankfully he loved it and mostly cooperated for photos!

The Jalie 2020 collection has landed!!!!!! 13 new patterns for you to sew! Here's my take on Bianca.
What a wacky year 2020 is turning out to be yes? When I was first invited to join the annual Raspberry Creek Fabrics Suit up for Summer Blog Tour hosted by SewSophieLynn and Paisley Roots, I of course had no idea that there would be a chance we may not actually GET to wear our swimsuits this year, but one can always HOPE! I don't know about you, but my emotions have been all over the place. Last week all I could see was a downward spiral of gloom, but this week I have a bit more hope. So, here's to a summer of sprinklers, water tables, and HOPEFULLY swimming pools too!
