For those who celebrate, I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend! As a little girl I always got a new spring dress to wear on Easter Sunday and it’s a tradition I just can’t shake. The past few years, I haven’t been able to get a new outfit for Easter for whatever reason, but this…
If you follow me on facebook, you saw a (blurry) pic late last week of my Fancy Maggie Mae in-progress. As you know from my last post, I am in LOVE with Maggie Mae and as I considered all the possibilities, I envisioned this Audrey Hepburn style, fancy version in black satin & sheers. I…
My five year old son is just precious. He is just old enough to realize what my sewing means to him and in his eyes, nothing is beyond my ability. Aside from his persistent, “are you done yet?” inquiries, he also frequently visits my sewing space to tell me what a great job I’m doing…

HOWEVER…look at the project picture of the Spring Ruffle Top here: Sew Mama Sew tutorial: Spring Ruffle Top And see my Spring (non) Ruffle Top below: Now, it looks okay enough, sorta from the front, but the problem comes…
