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 →
Inspires with the Moto Hack
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 →
It’s swim season!
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 →
Another Helen – Faux Placket Hack
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 →
EM – Ruched Crop Tank
One thing I love about sewing is sewing items for myself I normally would not even dream of trying on in the store. 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 →

GG – Drama Dress
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...

DIBY – Helen Dress
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 →
Testing the GS Clara Wrap Top
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 →
5oo4 – Weekender Tunic
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 →
