My Sewing Journey
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 →
Do your Littles have any favorite toys that they carry around everywhere? For awhile (over a year), our kiddo has loved these little rocket pool toys that sink to the bottom of the pool. They are his favorite "lovey" to have at naptime. When I found these rocket fabrics, I had to snatch some up... Continue Reading →
I love the Studio to Street Top by Greenstyle Creations. It is one of my favorite tops, and I can't wait to make all the comfy hooded versions this winter! But, to last through the still warm weather here in Arizona, I made a cropped version a few weeks ago. Instead of using bands for... Continue Reading →
You may have noticed that I've been sewing a few sweaters, looking forward to the temperature dropping twenty degrees or so.

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 →
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 →
When I first saw this pattern, I thought the shorts were so cute! I have been looking for more patterns to use up some of my athletic scraps, and this one is perfect! I have not seen many waistbands around like these shorts have and was excited at the opportunity to sew them up. The... Continue Reading →
