I Heart Surge Fabric Shop

Jun 19, 2017

If you’ve never had the pleasure of drooling over the delightful fabrics that Surge Fabric Shop carries, allow me to introduce you to some. Kayla, the owner, has this serious habit of spoiling me with extra goodies. And because they show up as a surprise, I don’t always have them on my immediate list of to-sews…no matter how badly I want to turn them into clothing.

But this past weekend, I distracted Louis and Bennett with a new PS4 and got some extra “just for fun” sewing time in. Thank you new gaming system!

Earth Tones

Jun 17, 2017

I’m back for my third share of the Bellisima Mundo fabrics from RP Custom Fabrics. Sara hooked me up with SO MANY strike offs and I couldn’t help but sew and share them all. Plus it gives me an excuse to take photos of and with my two handsome guys…so you’ll never find me complaining.

Take the Plunge Swimsuit by Patterns for Pirates

Jun 16, 2017

Me: I’m never going to post photos of myself in a swimsuit on the internet again.
Also me: Hey Internet, here are some photos of me in a swimsuit!

This isn’t my fault. Blame everything on Judy! She decided that P4P needed another swimsuit pattern and here we are again. This time, it’s a one-piece with a fun cross-over bodice…which magically looks AMAZING on every tester. Want to learn more about it? Let’s do this!

That Sara from RP Custom Fabrics…she just knows how to make some really amazing fabrics! Her newest round of custom prints (going up for pre-order TOMORROW!!) is “Bellisima Mundo” and is seriously the coolest round ever.

Vintage Lace | Fall Flash Round!

Jun 1, 2017

I. Freaking. Love. Halloween.
I’ve probably mentioned this before on here. But it’s true. I’m not all about the blood and gore Halloween…more for the cutesy/dorky/creepy/crawly side of things.

I love themes. I love costumes. And I love the creativity behind Halloween. I just love it all. So even if I’m sewing strike-off fabrics well out of season, I don’t care. Because the strikes are Halloween prints and I am ALLLLLLL over it!

Mama Vivienne by Made for Mermaids

May 30, 2017

PATTERN RELEASE DAY IS HERE!!! It’s like Christmas in the sewing world, am I right?

Made for Mermaids is releasing FOUR patterns all at the same time and I am geeked. They span the entire family…boys, girls, men and women. AND they’re fabulous for pattern mixing, which is way up my alley. I have so many photos to share that I’m going to break it down into two days of posts. And of course, I’m being a brat and showing off my photos first. Would you expect any less?

May BeeBox | Vinegar + Honey Co.

May 20, 2017

The 15th day of every month is quickly becoming my favorite day. Because it usually means I get a notification in my email, telling me that my BeeBox from Vinegar + Honey Co has shipped. Fabric mail is the only kind of mail I like to get.

M4M Ella Sew-a-long :: Flutter Sleeve Add-On

May 19, 2017

Have you guys heard? Made for Mermaids is doing a sew-a-long for the Ella + Mama Ella patterns all next week! So fun, right? Sew-a-longs are just a little way for hundreds of people to sew the same thing, at the same time, and feel like you have sewing buddies making the same thing alongside you…as well as get a lot of inspiration, tips and hacks.

I’m here to share one of the extras that is coming next Wednesday: a flutter sleeve add-on!

I’m Just a Poe Girl | BackStitch Fabrics

May 12, 2017

I was contacted by the BackStitch Fabrics team about sewing some strike-offs for them. Before even really seeing what they wanted me to sew up…I was in. They have some really bold, funky designs and I thought it’d be fun to play along with them!

To find out that their round this time was Halloween themed AND I’d get some Edgar Allan Poe inspired designs was just bonus.

Mama Sommer by Made for Mermaids

May 9, 2017

Summer is quickly approaching…which means we need to kick our sewing into a new gear and make some dresses for the warmer weather ahead! Good thing Team Mermaid has got your back with their latest release: Mama Sommer.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s | RP Custom Fabrics

May 2, 2017

Those girls over at RP Custom Fabrics sent me some more strikeoffs to sew up and I finally get to share what I made! They are running a round of fabrics with inspiration drawn from some cult classic movies (Pretty Woman, Pretty in Pink and Breakfast At Tiffany’s). I was sent some of Tiffany’s Damask and this is what I stitched up!
