Handmade Boy’s The Fighter Tee | Blog Tour!

May 29, 2017

Throughout my sewing adventures in the last few years, I’ve met some really great people and made some amazing friends. I’m honored to say that Kelly from Handmade Boy is one of those sew-friends of mine! She’s a fabulous maker, but an even more fabulous person. Why?

Kelly is running in a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital marathon and pledged to raise $1,000 for this very worthy cause. In the ultimate bout of creative thinking, Kelly decided to create a sewing pattern and donate 100% of the proceeds to her fundraising efforts for the run. Amazing, right??

Last Day of Kindergarten

May 26, 2017

It’s official. When we pick Louis up from school today at 11:30, he will be on summer break and we will have a First Grader living under our roof. FIRST GRADE. Dead…I’m just dead.

This year has just absolutely flown by. In a good way. (Minus all of the doctors visits due to 230948203948 illnesses during the last few months.) But damn, I feel like I needed more time to take it all in.

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.

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.
