(some new pillows in the making) The last couple of months have been a lesson in "starting over" for me in many ways. We moved, the kids moved schools, and we are officially starting over in a new neighborhood and as corny as it sounds a whole new world. I had to find a new grocery store (one where I don't have things memorized) and a lot of new "firsts" even though we only moved about 15 away. And while I was fully expecting it to be hard....I think it's in the "starting over" phases of our ... View the Post
A Simple Stretch Denim Dress
Today I get to share a simple stretch denim dress. I got to make it as a part of the Shaffer Sister's "sew-a-bration of Womanhood" series. It's a month long series in May that encourages women to take the time to sew for themselves. (You should head over there and check it out....so many great ladies and lovely projects.) The project I chose to make for myself is actually the exact same pattern I sewed for myself for the Ugly Duckly Pattern Challenge we held last month. But this ... View the Post

So, I have been trying to find fun projects that incorporate some of those lovely quilt blocks into useful projects! What a better way to use up a leftover quilt block than a quilt block pocket. Below is the quilt block pocket tutorial.... skirt fabric elastic ... View the Post
Color Blocked Skirt Tutorial (Super EASY!)
Today we have an EASY color blocked skirt tutorial for you! Actually we've shared this tutorial with you once before but back then we called it the "Melon Blocked Skirt". Remember this? Since then I don't know how many of these exact same skirts I've made. I loved them then and I love them now. The original skirt was loved to pieces and no longer fits either of my girls. But Grace wears this neon and white one ALL THE TIME. As you can see by the photographs the skirt has seen some ... View the Post
Quilted Zipper Pouch Tutorial
Zipper pouches are one of my absolute go-to's for a handmade gift. I think I love them most because they are simple (don't be afraid of the zipper part....they are easy!) and I can whip one up in an afternoon which is a quick success when it comes to sewing projects. I have created a short tutorial to show you how I make my easy quilted zipper pouches and I hope that you will try one. (And then you might get addicted too ;) ) I made this one for a quick gift this last week. I added in some ... View the Post
