A space for sewing and other things I love
Hey y’all! It’s been a while. I thought I’d come on here and talk a little bit about what I’ve been doing and where I’ve been. I missed my 1 year anniversary of starting this blog. And I’m okay with that. My first blog post was on November 2, 2018. I talked about why I…
Read MoreHey y’all! It’s September and we are making the perfect transitional garment — the blouse. I find that blouses can be worn throughout multiple seasons AND situations.

I really hope you read the title to the tune of “Everybody Dance Now” by C+C Music Factory. If not, go listen to it and meet me back here. I also hope you’re a Parks and Rec fan and remember when Leslie Knope sang that line. Its January and I’m making pants!!! In 2018 I…
Read MoreSo I learned about the make nine challenge in late 2017 and it seemed pretty cool. I chose nine patterns that I planned to make in 2018 based off the sewing patterns I already owned or had seen other people make. It was pretty early in my sewing journey so I didn’t put too much…

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but making sweatshirts is so delightful. Yeah that was cheesy but it’s me. As I’m adapting to weather in New England I’ve started to really examine my wardrobe. I have winter clothing but not a lot of REAL winter clothing. I lived in the south for many years so…
