My Sewing Journey
Did you know my very first blog post was about these Banana Booties by Max & Meena? I haven't made them for about two years, but when I had a request for a pair, I jumped at the opportunity. Making these booties brought back memories of making them for my son when he was just... Continue Reading →
I've always loved the look of Moto pants, but never thought I'd be able to make them. Then, Greenstyle came out with the FREE Moto add-on for their Inspire Tights and I knew I had to try to make some. The Inspires are on sale all month long for 15% off. I absolutely love how... Continue Reading →
This summer, I have plans to spend lots of time at the beach, pool, and a lake... which means I need a new swimsuit, right? After some thinking, I decided to use the Greenstyle North Shore Swimsuit for the bottoms and the Power Sports Bra for the top. I ordered some beautiful swim fabric that... Continue Reading →
I absolutely love my Helen Dress from DIBY that I wrote about here. I was going to make the short sleeve option for my next version, but with my summer plans, I knew I would get more use out of another tank version. I wanted a solid color, but was trying to think of how... 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...

I bought this pattern, the DIBY Helen Drawstring Dress, when it released and still had not sewn it up! I always told myself it was the perfect casual dress. Especially for Tucson where most days are casual! So, when I received this beautiful large waterfall rayon spandex fabric from Boho Fabrics in the mail on... Continue Reading →
Hello! Y'all, testing the Greenstyle Clara Wrap Top was such a fun test for me. This is not a top I would normally pick out for myself (I normally skip anything that accentuates my small chest), but I really love this one. The pattern is really versatile. It looks great as a wrap top for... Continue Reading →
A couple of months ago I had a poster session to present at, and wanted something "me made" to wear. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling anything in my closet. I had bought this amazing fabric from Boho Fabrics that was just sitting in my closet waiting to be sewn up... but I didn't have the right... Continue Reading →
