I'm thrilled to be bringing you my first "shared" project for dye sublimation printing on the blog today! I saw these coasters at JoAnn Fabrics the other day and immediately was overcome by my impulse purchasing ways. Cricut has been pushing their "Infusible...
Judy had the. best. idea. ever. She thought it would be super fun to take different sewists from our community and ask them to sew up one item with a P4P pattern -- and show (at least) three different ways to style it, using the items they already had in their...
We've been on a kick with Louis lately, watching classic movies from the 1980s and early 90's. Since late September, we started watching movies in that era, but more on the Halloween themed side. Beetlejuice was on that list and Louis immediately knew what he wanted...
I've got a second round of fabric reveals for you, for the Patterns for Pirates' fabric subscription service: FABRIC for Pirates! And I'm just as excited about this fabric as I was the first. No joke. Both fabrics are the same base, a deliciously soft and stretch...
It's the official reveal day for Patterns for Pirates' fabric subscription service: FABRIC for Pirates! I couldn't be more excited about it, either! Let's start with the best and dorkiest thing I've made in a really long time: this video. You're welcome, fam....

If you had to ask me to name my favorite Halloween movie, I wouldn't even hesitate to tell you that it is HANDS DOWN, no questions asked, Hocus Pocus. Honestly. Isn't it everyone's favorite Halloween flick? So. Freaking. Good. I've been on a super...
As I'm working on finishing up Louis' winter jacket for this year, I couldn't help but take a trip down memory lane of all of the jackets I've made him. And they all happen to be from one single pattern: the Lumberjack Shirt by Patterns for Pirates. Seriously, sewing...
Like many others, I've been struggling with the news of the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I'm stuck in a moment of wanting to mourn the death of such a vital, powerful female figure in US history....and also living in fear of what's to come with the...
