Take Online Sewing Classes on Skillshare!
The Jasper sweater has been on my to-make list for probably a year. I even went to my favorite local shop, F&M Fabrics, to buy the fleece and used my thread chart to order matching thread from wawak.com. It sat on my shelf all bundled up and ready to be made and probably got lonely…
Friends, for a few months now I have been showing you my projects made from my great finds from our local F&M Fabrics. They have great deals and a lovely staff and there are so many treasures to be found there! Well I am happy to report that F&M Fabrics is now online at thefabricmarket.com!!!  Not every item in…
Have you heard about Kids Clothes Week?! The idea is to take one hour a day for seven days and work on the kids clothing projects you’ve set aside, been planning to do but just haven’t, or are aspiring to do! Just one hour. Ok, you can work more than one hour, but there’s no…
Well the day has come – the pattern has been released and I’m free to share with you what I did with that Collage fabric by Windham Fabrics I showed my facebook followers a few weeks back! It was the Daydream Ruffle Dress from See Kate Sew! The Daydream Ruffle dress is a high low dress…
I’m so excited to pass on to you this photo of Haley, the youngest member of our sewing day, in her finished skirt! Didn’t she do an amazing job!?! I only had one sewing session this weekend, but I got all my Lady Grey wool pieces serged and managed to practice the bound buttonhole: I…

I DID IT!!! I made pants! Pants I actually will want to wear!! I will not have to face Self Stitched September with only skirts!!I know this fabric photographs grey, but it has a blue-grey denim look to it. And I know it’s not every sewer’s first choice, but it is a flowy linen blend….
So I’ve gotten myself in trouble again. I’ve done so well, REALLY! It’s been AGES since I bought fabric, for myself. Yes, I bought the jacket pattern a few weeks ago and I felt really good about it because I had the restraint to wait to buy fabric until I was free to work on…
A year and a half ago, I posted about making costumes for a church event and I showed you this wonderful table: Well, I use this table as often as possible! And it’s been a Godsend in many ways. My sewing room is very compact and managing yards of fabric is near impossible!! As you…
I remember being newly married and a good friend of mine explaining to me the concept of “seasons”. This idea has brought me comfort already many times in my life – it’s the idea that we all go through seasons and in each season, priorities are different (for good reasons), friends may change, tasks may…
