My Sewing Journey
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...

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 →

I have always considered French Terry a winter fabric, though, since it is thicker and warmer. When I had the opportunity to sew up this new Dusty... Continue Reading →
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 →
