My Sewing Journey
About a year ago, I tested the Around the Block Hoodie pattern. That post is here. I recently had the opportunity to sew up the kids version-and it is so cute! The Little and I spent nearly 45 minutes picking out fabric for this, but he is so happy with the results (and so am... Continue Reading →
I'm back to tell you all about the latest cardigan pattern I've sewn: The One Button Cardigan by Greenstyle Creations. I've been drawn to this pattern in the past because of the unique shape in the front of the cardigan. The one button crossover closure is so unique! For me, though, I opted not to...

I'm sure you've all seen the Tempo Tights from Greenstyle Creations floating around by now-if not you will love them. I did not have the opportunity to test these beauties, but purchased the pattern as soon as it released! I had been waiting for these tights since the first sneak that Angie from Greenstyle leaked.... Continue Reading →

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 →
