I do LOVE a tailored shirt and pants on a boy! When I was asked to sew up something for a fall blog using anything from the Raspberry Creek Fabric collection that didn't always get a lot of love, my eye was immediately drawn to the linen chambray collection, and the twill! When I spotted… Continue reading Tailored Outfit for Boys {for Raspberry Creek Fabrics}
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!

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!

I always hesitate to test pant/shorts patterns because let's just say I've been jaded by bad fits. I knew a Peony… Continue reading Peony Patterns Lilac Shorts + FREE Tigerlily Tank {Release}

I tested the Itch to Stitch Lemont Top this week, and ended up making two! (I had hoped to get #2 photographed before the release, but I still need to remove the basting stitches from it and clip all the threads.... so, maybe in a day or two I'll get some photos of it!). After… Continue reading Itch to Stitch Lemont Top {Release}
