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… Continue reading Raspberry Creek Fabrics Christmas Collection 2022
My daughter has been in dire need of more cardigans, and so she was thrilled when I obliged her with a new one today! Read More...
Because I clearly didn't have enough things to do last week, I also found myself testing the new Gothenburg Top from Itch to Stitch. What can I say? I really love Itch to Stitch patterns so I try to prioritize their pattern tests!
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!
Time for another Itch to Stitch Sew Beautiful make! The Carlsbad Cardigan is my FAVORITE thing in the upcoming book from Itch to Stitch, Sew Beautiful: Make Stylish Handmade Clothing with Simple Stitch-And-Wear Patterns. As I mentioned in yesterday's post about the Prague Top, this book includes 8 beginner friendly patterns, perfect for a capsule wardrobe, and releases on December 8 in both Kindle and paperback versions, and you can preorder it right now!
Late last year my neighbor was getting rid of some fabric, and my eyes landed on some gorgeous floral scuba, gray double brushed poly, and a purple sweater knit. I thought this combo would be perfect as a dress and cardigan for my two girls!
I’m so excited that my kids are starting to read the Harry Potter books! While I have the series in a combo of paperback and hardcover - and some British, some Australian, and some US editions - we’ve been borrowing the e-audiobooks from the library and listening to them instead. And of course, one of the best outcomes from getting my kids into HP, is that my daughter picked out this HP inspired fabric from the current pre-order round at MK*Designs!
The new Itch to Stitch Cape Cod Capelet (try saying that 10 times fast!) is available now and is a perfect quick sew AND gift for the holiday season!
I tested this garment last week, and it is seriously the fastest pattern test I think I've been on! You could really cut and sew this one in under an hour!
As I mentioned in my last post, my 3 year old is Owl obsessed. She is constantly hooting, flapping, requesting to watch videos on owl pellets, demands owl books when we visit the library each week, and has been gradually amassing a collection of cute, stuffed owls. She was over the moon when I showed… Continue reading Misusu Dia Tunic & Boo! Leggings
This month we're pulling out less popular patterns from the Itch to Stitch catalog and giving them some love! The rule was that no more than 2 bloggers could use the same pattern. With 24 bloggers on this tour, you're bound to find a big variety of new loves! And there's a **GIVEAWAY** and a **SALE**. So read on ;-).
