I am the type of person who does not like to buy or make things that I will only use/wear once or once in awhile. The exceptions are rare occasions like a big wedding (did I mention my brother just got married!!). So, when I plan items to make, I make sure I can get... Continue Reading →
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....

Here in Arizona, we're still hitting the low-mid 80's in the afternoon, but the mornings are chilly, around 60 degrees. I wanted to make another comfy casual outfit to last through the beginning of our warm fall. I am on a mission to sew up some patterns in my stash that I've never printed and... Continue Reading →

But, to last through the still warm weather here in Arizona, I made a cropped version a few weeks ago. Instead of using bands for... Continue Reading →
You may have noticed that I've been sewing a few sweaters, looking forward to the temperature dropping twenty degrees or so. Living in Arizona means we're still hitting 100 degrees (or close to) everyday. So, those sweaters I've made? They're sitting in my closet waiting also. Boho Fabrics has another great fabric stocking today! I... Continue Reading →

First, so everything in my closet doesn't look the same, and second, to learn more about different fabrics and content of fabrics.
