My Sewing Journey
Y'all, I think I've found my new favorite comfy hoodie/sweatshirt! The Nova by Sinclair is a great relaxed raglan that is perfect in French Terry and Sweater Knits! I've made three and am going to tell you all about them today! I started with a crew neck version to check fit. I first went with... Continue Reading →
Bow Button Fabrics is one of my go to fabric shops and I am so excited that they have started style boxes! I have never bought a mystery box, scrap box, subscription box, etc., because I really hate surprises. I even have a hard time buying new to me fabrics because I hate when I... Continue Reading →
Our family has a fun little tradition that has become quite popular in recent years. On Christmas Day, we wear matching pajamas. But, unlike many families that wear reds and greens, we choose pajamas that don't necessarily are only pajamas and fabrics that will last all year long. This year, my partner requested a shirt...

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 →
I'm back to tell you all about the latest cardigan pattern I've sewn: The One Button Cardigan by Greenstyle Creations. I've been drawn to this pattern in the past because of the unique shape in the front of the cardigan. The one button crossover closure is so unique! For me, though, I opted not to...

Waffle knit is all the rage this season. Bow Button Fabrics has a great variety and their waffle knit is very soft with 4 way stretch. When I received this gorgeous Emerald in the mail, I could NOT decide what to make with it. I first wanted a cardigan, then a fitted long sleeved tee,... 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 →
I reeeally like cardigans. My goal is to try multiple cardigan patterns this fall/winter. The first one of the season is here. I really like long cardigans, so opted to find another longer, knee(ish) length. I had picked up the Harper Cardigan by Sinclair Patterns this summer when it was still free on the website....

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 →
