Oh back-to-school time. It's when all of the parents are having mild heart attacks over the cost/quantity of the school supplies list. As well as the stress and hassle of new clothes. Oy. New clothes. I wish we could grow the clothes with the kid sometimes. Made...
When Sew Stylish Fabrics arranged this tour, the must have known I'd be all over it. I am craving fall hardcore right now. I'm just not much of a warm weather person. I practically hide from the sun with this fair skin of mine, and our house isn't air conditioned....
Geometric designs are prints are all the rage right now and I am totally right there with the trend. I mean, our logo has been a geo design for the last two years as well. It speaks to me. When Big Sew Fabrics posted their Woodland Creatures knit....I had to have...
Psssst!! Made for Mermaids just released an update to the Mama Ella (and girl's Ella) tops today. You should probably get it on it. The Mama Ella is one of the flirtier of the patterns I've sewn in a while and it's all because of the back. Wha-pow! I mean. Is Ella...
I've FINALLY knocked out one of the projects I've been meaning and wanting to do for forever. I made table settings for our dining room! (Well...breakfast room. Except we eat breakfast in the kitchen and other meals in the breakfast room. We are a little odd.)...
Brace yourselves. I'm officially sharing something from a different designer today: Love Notions. In all honesty though, I've sewn her things before! Remember the crocheted yoke sweater I made? I also super love the LN Sybil Skirt with a drop yoke...and I've made...
It's about time that I got some new models for this blog, am I right? Made for Mermaids is celebrating FIFTEEN THOUSAND FANS on their Facebook group with new patterns! Congratulations Megan! You are amazing! The best part about these patterns? THEY ARE FREE!...
Today is my 31st birthday! Whoop whoop! I know some women hate turning another year older. And admitting their real age. But honestly, I have no issues with it. I am who I am. We can't stop Father Time, so we might as well party on with him! Though, I'll admit...
Have you heard the news? I am leading a blog tour starting Monday, June 27 that is ALLLLL about sewing in red, white and blue.We will be featuring TWENTY EIGHT (whoop whoop) amazing sewing bloggers who are showing us their take on Americana-style sewing with...
I told you that this was a busy week! I've been a part of three big releases, the Wear to Where? blog tour, Louis' last day of preschool, and a 20K P4P celebration. I'm whipped and my phone has been getting so many alerts that it won't stay charged. But having a...
It's wedding season, you guys! And that means you're going to be spending some (or a good amount of) time in front of your closets, trying to figure out what to wear. We've got you covered with this one! ME! (Keep scrolling for my photos) | Wally and Grace | Hayes...
A year and a half ago, I sewed up my first P4P pattern ever. I was overly ambitious and took on a Lumberjack Jacket for Louis...even though I was still pretty new to sewing clothes. Two weeks later, I sewed up my first shirt: the women's raglan (now called the...
