I have been reorganizing the blog over the past few months! I am trying to make it easier to find posts. 🙂 With a larger audience these days, I decided to update the menu options on the home page! Pattern Companies: Under this tab, I have listed all the pattern companies that I have written... Continue Reading →
Max & Meena – Banana Booties
Did you know my very first blog post was about these Banana Booties by Max & Meena? I haven't made them for about two years, but when I had a request for a pair, I jumped at the opportunity. Making these booties brought back memories of making them for my son when he was just... Continue Reading →
DIBY – Helen Dress
I bought this pattern, the DIBY Helen Drawstring Dress, when it released and still had not sewn it up! I always told myself it was the perfect casual dress. Especially for Tucson where most days are casual! So, when I received this beautiful large waterfall rayon spandex fabric from Boho Fabrics in the mail on... Continue Reading →
Testing the GS Clara Wrap Top
Hello! Y'all, testing the Greenstyle Clara Wrap Top was such a fun test for me.

It looks great as a wrap top for... Continue Reading →

I had a casual backyard birthday party to go to,... Continue Reading →
GS Brassie Shorts-CL
This post is going way back to a few sews from last summer! It all started when my mom's friend asked me to make her a pair of comfy shorts with pockets. I knew right away what fabric I would use, but wasn't sure which pattern I wanted. The search began! I started going through... Continue Reading →

Testing the GS Muscle Up Tank
I recently tested another Greenstyle Creations pattern, the Muscle Up Tank! I had never done a pattern test for anyone other than myself, so I was eager to try it out using my husband's measurements. I asked him if he was willing to test and be my model, and he agreed! (Thanks again) The tank... Continue Reading →
