4 years ago Elizabeth and I spent hours sitting on the family room floor in Elizabeth's old house dreaming about designing fabric. We would talk and talk and dream and dream and meanwhile I would draw or paint little images on tiny scraps of paper... ... View the Post
Clothesline Bowl Tutorial
Over the weekend we had the chance to teach a sewing class on how to make a Clothesline Bowl Tutorial. I think I love this project because they are fast and you really can make them your own! I wish I would have got a picture of everyone's bowls at the end because even though everyone had the same supplies at the beginning of the class, every bowl was unique and awesome at the end. I absolutely love that kind of creative project where in a few simple steps...everyone's project is so ... View the Post

So taking inspiration from my mom today, I am making some fabric baskets similar to how she handmade our Easter ... View the Post
Sewing Cart Tutorial
I think one of the biggest misconceptions about wanting to pick up sewing or quilting as a hobby is that you need a lot of space! Or some even believe you need a whole room to start. And we are here to tell you---you DON'T! When I started sewing again almost 13 years ago, I started at the kitchen table. I then moved to a little corner of our play room loft where I sewed for years and years. My kids were little and I could watch them play while I sewed. It was ideal. And while I feel so lucky to ...
