My Sewing Journey
About a year ago, I tested the Around the Block Hoodie pattern. That post is here. I recently had the opportunity to sew up the kids version-and it is so cute! The Little and I spent nearly 45 minutes picking out fabric for this, but he is so happy with the results (and so am... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been trying to sew up some of my pattern stash. I have a love of dolmans, and found that I had the Slim Dolman by Halla Patterns on hand. I quickly printed it out and checked to see which fabric I had on hand. As I've mentioned... Continue Reading →
I am the type of person who does not like to buy or make things that I will only use/wear once or once in awhile. The exceptions are rare occasions like a big wedding (did I mention my brother just got married!!). So, when I plan items to make, I make sure I can get... Continue Reading →
The Little has been very interested in pirates and ships lately and has requested to be a pirate for Halloween. I'm still not sure he completely understands what Halloween is, but he keeps saying he's getting ready for the Halloween party. With him being 3, I wanted to include him in this big day. I...

So, I decided to sew up some Waffle Knit and European Knit from Bow Button Fabrics! I had... Continue Reading →

TSM has been blowing up the Facebook sewing world lately with their amazing custom printed athletic prints. They have many other bases to offer,... Continue Reading →
You would think I lived in an area that wouldn't still be reaching the 100's for another month since I've already started sewing sweaters. I couldn't resist when this fabric came in! Boho Fabrics just stocked this new hacci sweater knit (among others), and it is glorious! It's great for adults and kids. The scale... Continue Reading →
The Little is back at preschool this year. This summer he's grown quite a bit, so I figured he needed a few new items for his wardrobe to get him through the fall. Since we wear tees and shorts until November, that's what I decided to make! I've had this dinosaur jersey knit from Raspberry... Continue Reading →
