My Sewing Journey
I had another opportunity for testing at Sinclair Patterns and am excited to show you the Rio Tank! This tank is a great summer staple and it is loaded with options. The tank comes in Sinclair's three height options: petite, standard, and tall. The size range is inclusive, covering sizes US0-US30, which translates to hip... Continue Reading →
I am loving the (kind of) new Curved Hem Pocket Tank by Ellie and Mac! The best part? This pattern is free on their website! Who doesn't love free patterns? I love them even more when they are well drafted and unique! First, I wanted to use my latest color of Bamboo Lycra Jersey Knit from... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks or so before I was leaving for the summer, my mom called and asked if I could make her a couple of tanks for the summer. She was looking for some tanks to wear outside while gardening that had a lower back so she would not have a racerback tan line... Continue Reading →
I posted recently about some new shorts that I had made the little (you can find that post here)... and realized that the majority of the photos were paired with the Slope Tank from Greenstyle Creations! This has quickly become a new favorite this summer and I figured another post was needed. You can find... Continue Reading →

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 →
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 →
I recently tested another Greenstyle Creations pattern, the Muscle Up Tank! I had never done a pattern test for anyone other than myself, so I was eager to try it out using my husband's measurements. I asked him if he was willing to test and be my model, and he agreed! (Thanks again) The tank... Continue Reading →
Guess what?? I was able to do another pattern test recently... and this tank is going to replace ALL my store bought layering tanks! Goodbye Target tanks and hello Greenstyle tanks! Introducing the Staple Tank! This tank is a simple layering tank that can easily be worn alone. I live in tanks like this in... Continue Reading →
