I love when I discover new fabrics and companies, especially a small business like Sew Dynamic FabricsĀ that is a great source for recycled fabrics! I actually knew very little about fabrics made with recycled fibers before becoming a customer at Sew Dynamic FabricsĀ last Fall. Now, I've done some research, have felt all the bases (thanks...

Summer Staples for the Little
I tend to fall into habits in many aspects of my life. This happens in sewing too; when I like a pattern, I make a million of that same thing. But, I'm trying to venture out. I have a couple of go to shorts patterns for my 3.5 year old and wasn't sure if I... Continue Reading →
