Welcome to the Just Add Sugar Fabric Tour!

Just Add Sugar…The Making of a Fabric Line
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
Gingham Girls Spring Boho Blouse
Today we are joining our good friend Amy Smart on her tour of her first fabric line, Gingham Girls by Penny Rose Designs and we couldn't be more excited for her!

I am joining along the fabric tour with a boho blouse pattern made from two of the fabrics in her line, ... 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 ...
