I have been in love with this pattern from the minute I saw the testing call. My life has been borderline insane recently and sewing hasn’t been top of my to-do list so I was so excited to make some time to sew up the Fulton Sweater Blazer this weekend – I want to make […]

It doesn’t take you looking around my blog too long to see that I am a huge Sew Over It fan! Almost all their patterns immediately make my to-sew list and the Heather Dress is no exception! I put off making this dress as I was nervous about some fitting issues, but decided to take […]

Earlier this spring and summer I sewed up a bunch of t-shirts for my Search for the Perfect T-Shirt series. The Favorite Tee from Patterns for Pirates was a recommended t-shirt that I didn’t have a chance to sew up as part of the series so I decided to sew it up this week! The […]

Last week I chatted about my #SewingTop5 Top 5 hits and had such fun going back through all my makes for the year and figuring out my favorites! In that process, also was able to identify some handmades that just didn’t get the wear they should have for one way or another. To read about […]

One of my *secret* goals this holiday season was to do some sewing for others. Truth be told, other than the random baby gift and a dress for a friend, I haven’t really sewn anything for anyone but me. Number 1 on the list was my husband – he is the best blogger photographer I […]

I had the idea for this post a couple months ago and never got around to writing it. But now it’s happening! I thought it would be fun to share the patterns I make to wear to work and then some additional work wear patterns that I have my eyes set on. I wear business […]

I’ve been skipping out on my monthly favorite posts the past two months but now they’re back! They’re really fun to put together because they’re my time to share all my favorites from the prior month with you. In the past, they’ve been pretty sewing focused, but I’m going to try to make them a […]
