My Sewing Journey
One of my very first me made items was a pencil skirt with a cactus double brushed polyester fabric. I wore it quite a bit, but now have come to find patterns and fabrics that fit me better! When I saw this gorgeous Payson Fabric at Amelia Lane Designs, I HAD to have it! I... Continue Reading →
Waffle knit is all the rage this season. Bow Button Fabrics has a great variety and their waffle knit is very soft with 4 way stretch. When I received this gorgeous Emerald in the mail, I could NOT decide what to make with it. I first wanted a cardigan, then a fitted long sleeved tee,... 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 →

Plus, I got a couple of gorgeous new tops out of the deal. 🙂 The new pattern I tested was Hello Gorgeous. The other that... Continue Reading →
Last summer, my mom gave me a long sweater that didn't quite fit her right, and I wore it ALL. THE. TIME. So, I figured I needed another for this winter. I knew exactly what pattern I was going to sew up, too. I had snatched up the Sunday Cardigan by Greenstyle Creations this summer... Continue Reading →
After I made myself and the Little a couple of tops with the Bamboo Lycra Jersey from The Fabric Fairy, my partner asked for a hoodie with the same fabric. When that one was made, he asked for another. When that one was made, he asked for another... but I have yet to order fabric... Continue Reading →
