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...

One of my very first me made items was a pencil skirt with a cactus double brushed polyester fabric. I wore it quite a bit, but now have come to find patterns and fabrics that fit me better! When I saw this gorgeous Payson Fabric at Amelia Lane Designs, I HAD to have it! I... Continue Reading →
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 →

To get the pattern free, you need to be a member of the Greenstyle Facebook group and check the announcements for... Continue Reading →
The Little is back at preschool this year. This summer he's grown quite a bit, so I figured he needed a few new items for his wardrobe to get him through the fall. Since we wear tees and shorts until November, that's what I decided to make! I've had this dinosaur jersey knit from Raspberry... Continue Reading →
I love my Brassie Jogger Shorts by Greenstyle Creations as you can see in this, this, and this post. Those were all made with Cotton/Lycra or French Terry... so I was looking to branch out. I hopped on The Fabric Fairy's site a couple months ago and found their Carbon Stretch Woven. I had never... Continue Reading →
