Erin from Thread Therapy Fabrics contacted me about her new round of custom prints and asked if I wanted to sew something up with her geometric roses. Yes, girl. YES. Of course. I am a huge sucker for a geo print and I ADORE floral fabrics. Sign me up!
Sew, What Do I Wear? | P4P + M4M Valentine’s Day Tour

Watcha Wearing January | Week 4
I’m back for my fourth and final week of sharing the handmade pieces that I’ve managed to wear over the last week. Tibeca of Sewing by Ti is hosting this blogging series all month long…and my take on it is to show just how easy it is to wear something handmade every day.
Let’s get started!
Pizza + Doughnuts
I was sent some fabrics by RP Custom Fabrics and seriously couldn’t wait to stitch them up into something for Louis and me. (Sorry Bennett, you’ve been left out again.) RP is running a line of pre-order fabrics right now that is called “Happy or Hungry” and is filled with fun prints of foods like doughnuts, pizza, hamburgers, tacos, and various candies.
I was sent the “jumbo sized” versions of doughnuts and pizza and here’s what I made out of them!
Watcha Wearin January | Week 3
I’m back for my third week of sharing what handmade pieces I wore over the last seven days. Tibeca of Sewing by Ti is hosting this blogging series all month long. Whatcha Wearin January, for me, is just a visual way to show how easy it is to incorporate handmade into your daily wears.
Let’s get to it!
Watcha Wearin January | Week 2
Hey-o! I’m back for a second week of Watcha Wearin January! Thanks to Tibeca from Sewing by Ti for hosting this fun tour. You can check out what I wore last week HERE, if you’re curious. And without wasting any more time, let’s get down to talking about what I wore all week!
Mama Claire by Made for Mermaids
Made for Mermaids has a way of bringing sexy back. You can see one instance HERE. And they did it again with their latest release: Mama Claire. I don’t think you guys are ready for this one! It’s a dolman style shirt, with a cross-over…and it’s REVERSIBLE. Hello awesome!
Watcha Wearin January | Week 1
Welcome to Watcha Wearin January, hosted by the lovely Tibeca of Sewing By Ti!! With the new year, there are a lot of new resolutions. One that we’ve seen floating around the sewing world a lot is that people want to stop being such sewing-group lurkers, and actually take some of that inspiration and sew more for themselves. We are here to help!
Mama Joy by Made for Mermaids
By george, Team Mermaid has done it again! Allow me to introduce you to Mama Joy.
Joy is coming out as part of Made for Mermaids’ “Dreamy Collection” and is simply stunning. I love that it can be so dressy and so dressed down, depending on how you style it. Plus, HELLO options! Peplum, dress, maxi, optional zipper, two necklines, pockets…and they have some hacks coming to the blog that will take your pattern even further. It’s perfection.
Slouchy Hats :: P4P Holiday Freebies
EEEEEEP! I’m back again, tooting my own horn. I drafted up this slouchy hat for one of my KatyMade boxes and decided to turn it into a real pattern for Patterns for Pirates to be able to share. And it’s FREE for the 2016 Holiday Freebies. Fun, right?
Fleece Mittens :: P4P Holiday Freebies
We couldn’t let the mermaids have all the fun this season, could we? Judy, Nicole and I thought that it was our turn to make some fun freebies for Christmas too!! We’ve got a set of three items that are coming out in the next couple of weeks, and today was the release of the first: fleece mittens!
Fleece Earwarmers :: M4M 12 Days of Freebies
