My Sewing Journey
This past week, The Fabric Fairy had a 2020 Choose Your Own Adventure Sew a Long. Alex led the sew a long and it was so fun to sew with everyone! The only "rule" of the sew a long was that three items needed to be completed: a top, a bottom, and a layer. They... Continue Reading →
I've been looking to reuse some of my old clothing items that don't fit well. Last last year, I used some old sweatpants and made new sweatpants for my kiddo. They are the perfect sleeping pants and looks so cute on. So, I wanted to do that again! I went through my donate pile recently... Continue Reading →

I'm sure you've all seen the Tempo Tights from Greenstyle Creations floating around by now-if not you will love them. I did not have the opportunity to test these beauties, but purchased the pattern as soon as it released! I had been waiting for these tights since the first sneak that Angie from Greenstyle leaked.... Continue Reading →
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 →
