My Sewing Journey
I reeeally like cardigans. My goal is to try multiple cardigan patterns this fall/winter. The first one of the season is here. I really like long cardigans, so opted to find another longer, knee(ish) length. I had picked up the Harper Cardigan by Sinclair Patterns this summer when it was still free on the website....

I had the opportunity to join The Pattern Emporium in the testing of one of their latest patterns. I had not tested for them before, but I loved the process! 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 →
Last winter I made my kiddo a jacket (that post is here), and was determined to make one for myself this year. I've been thinking about it for months, and knew I wanted to try making the Midway Bomber Jacket by Greenstyle Creations. The pattern is on sale this month, so what a great time... Continue Reading →

Boho Fabrics has another great fabric stocking today! I... Continue Reading →

Greenstyle Creations has been working their butts off (pun totally intended) on this new pattern... The No Show Briefs! I'm here to tell you allll about it! So, I... Continue Reading →
Tailor Made Blog is hosting this year's BRAugust challenge on Instagram. The idea is to post a photo of a bra (or undies) that you made each day of the month. I had never heard of it until a fellow sewing friend, Alex, mentioned it. Alex dove into making a ton of bras and I finally... 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 →
When I first saw this pattern, I thought the shorts were so cute! I have been looking for more patterns to use up some of my athletic scraps, and this one is perfect! I have not seen many waistbands around like these shorts have and was excited at the opportunity to sew them up. The... Continue Reading →
