My Sewing Journey
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 →
I’ve seen so many cute crop tops everywhere lately and wanted to jump on board! I did not have a pattern for one, so looked toward my pattern library to see what could work. I wanted something a bit sporty, so I first looked at patterns with a racerback. I had purchased the Lille Tank... Continue Reading →

I love being able to see pdf patterns on different individuals of all shapes and sizes. I also enjoy seeing how different fabric choices affect the fit of the pattern. This is... Continue Reading →
On Thursday, I was trying to decide if I wanted to sew up a new dress for graduation on Saturday. I was eyeing the George + Ginger Facebook page, knowing that a new test was coming up for the updated version of the Drama Dress. Friday morning, I decided I was going to print off...
