Spring into 2023 with Liberty of London {for FabricMart}

I'm excited to be a FabricMart Fabricista again this year, and I couldn't resist sewing a second project with Liberty of London Tana Lawn! This fabric is so luxurious and wonderful to work with, I just can't pass it up whenever I see it come on sale! With such a high thread count, Liberty of…

African Print Buttercup Romper

While trawling through my cache of old photos today, I discovered I had failed to blog a few baby rompers I'd made for people! This is the challenge with gifts - I want to wait until after either the recipient has seen the gift, or the baby has modeled it before I share it! Well,…

I'm always so inspired when I see projects made from Farmhouse Fabrics products, so I was over the moon to get selected to do a promotional sew for their spring collection!

Tailored Outfit for Boys {for Raspberry Creek Fabrics}

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…

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…

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…

Peony Patterns Lilac Shorts + FREE Tigerlily Tank {Release}

The cobbler's son has no shoes. The dress pattern tester's kids have no pants. The complexities of life! I'm excited to report that my girls finally have not one, but multiple pairs of shorts! I always hesitate to test pant/shorts patterns because let's just say I've been jaded by bad fits. I knew a Peony…

Mix ‘n’ Match Shorts & Tops for Summer {for FabricMart}

Since I prefer to sew for my children, my own closet gets seriously neglected! I decided to put my own needs first for my FabricMart make this time, and create a pair of comfy shorts and tops for ME! This month I used the Itch to Stitch Hermosa Shorts, Pattern Emporium Hello Gorgeous Top, and…

Lemon Flavored Jasmine Dress

There are two ways to my youngest daughter's heart: lemons and owls. Last Halloween she was a lemon, the previous Halloween she was an owl. Next Halloween, she has declared she wants to be a bee. Why a bee? Well, this adorable lemon and bee fabric of course! When I spotted this citrus fabric collection…
