Last winter I made my kiddo a jacket (that post is here), and was determined to make one for myself this year. I've been thinking about it for months, and knew I wanted to try making the Midway Bomber Jacket by Greenstyle Creations. The pattern is on sale this month, so what a great time... Continue Reading →
BRAugust 2019
Tailor Made Blog is hosting this year's BRAugust challenge on Instagram. The idea is to post a photo of a bra (or undies) that you made each day of the month. I had never heard of it until a fellow sewing friend, Alex, mentioned it. Alex dove into making a ton of bras and I finally... 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 →

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...

Jacquard Mesh Hooded Tank
I have trying to be more adventurous in my sewing (I may or may not have a pattern with a button hole planned in the near future). Most times that means new patterns with new techniques and features (for me), but sometimes that means fabric, too! When I saw this jacquard mesh would soon be... Continue Reading →
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 →
