My Sewing Journey
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 →
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 →
Hello! Y'all, testing the Greenstyle Clara Wrap Top was such a fun test for me. This is not a top I would normally pick out for myself (I normally skip anything that accentuates my small chest), but I really love this one. The pattern is really versatile. It looks great as a wrap top for... Continue Reading →
A couple of months ago I had a poster session to present at, and wanted something "me made" to wear. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling anything in my closet. I had bought this amazing fabric from Boho Fabrics that was just sitting in my closet waiting to be sewn up... but I didn't have the right... Continue Reading →
I have been seeing these super cute casual skirts everywhere. I like to call them sweat skirts!

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 →

Today, I am going to tell you how I created this crop hoodie that I have had sitting in my sewing inspirations on my Pinterest page since... January!!!... Continue Reading →
I finally found the motivation to try another legging pattern during Greenstyle's 2019 Fit Capsule. I bought the pattern on discount excited to see the differences and for leggings with a tad less compression than the Super G Tights (written about here). I measured myself and got started printing, tracing, and cutting the Greenstyle Strides.... Continue Reading →
