My Sewing Journey
I've been looking to reuse some of my old clothing items that don't fit well. Last last year, I used some old sweatpants and made new sweatpants for my kiddo. They are the perfect sleeping pants and looks so cute on. So, I wanted to do that again! I went through my donate pile recently... Continue Reading →
Bow Button Fabrics is one of my go to fabric shops and I am so excited that they have started style boxes! I have never bought a mystery box, scrap box, subscription box, etc., because I really hate surprises. I even have a hard time buying new to me fabrics because I hate when I... Continue Reading →
Our family has a fun little tradition that has become quite popular in recent years. On Christmas Day, we wear matching pajamas. But, unlike many families that wear reds and greens, we choose pajamas that don't necessarily are only pajamas and fabrics that will last all year long. This year, my partner requested a shirt...

About a year ago, I tested the Around the Block Hoodie pattern. That post is here. I recently had the opportunity to sew up the kids version-and it is so cute! The Little and I spent nearly 45 minutes picking out fabric for this, but he is so happy with the results (and so am... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been trying to sew up some of my pattern stash. I have a love of dolmans, and found that I had the Slim Dolman by Halla Patterns on hand. I quickly printed it out and checked to see which fabric I had on hand. As I've mentioned... Continue Reading →
The Little has been very interested in pirates and ships lately and has requested to be a pirate for Halloween. I'm still not sure he completely understands what Halloween is, but he keeps saying he's getting ready for the Halloween party. With him being 3, I wanted to include him in this big day. I...

Do your Littles have any favorite toys that they carry around everywhere? For awhile (over a year), our kiddo has loved these little rocket pool toys that sink to the bottom of the pool. They are his favorite "lovey" to have at naptime. When I found these rocket fabrics, I had to snatch some up... Continue Reading →
I've been trying to expand the variety of fabrics I sew up for two reasons. First, so everything in my closet doesn't look the same, and second, to learn more about different fabrics and content of fabrics. So, I decided to sew up some Waffle Knit and European Knit from Bow Button Fabrics! I had... Continue Reading →
You would think I lived in an area that wouldn't still be reaching the 100's for another month since I've already started sewing sweaters. I couldn't resist when this fabric came in! Boho Fabrics just stocked this new hacci sweater knit (among others), and it is glorious! It's great for adults and kids. The scale... Continue Reading →
