Project Sewn Sew-Along
Are you sewing along with Project Sewn this month? We are doing a sew along of the free pattern, The Coffee Date Dress.I finished mine late yesterday (ok except for the hem---I ran out of navy blue thread---but I promise to finish it up today!)The dress itself is made of navy blue weaver's cloth, which I love because it is so lightweight but looks like linen to me. It was in my stash and I thought it would make the perfect summer dress.I didn't line it but used blue bias tape to finish the ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: All because I was sanding…..
Lately, I have been feeling like I am failing as a mother. I know it's normal and I know we have all been there, but the feelings have been so real and so overwhelming lately.Let me share a couple of examples....I have one child that is struggling with growing up, toss in some learning issues and childhood anxiety, and life isn't so simple.

Not that it is anything exciting....it is probably the most boring sewing space in the bunch! But it's functional and I can leave my stuff out and it won't get snatched which is want I wanted needed with lots of small fingers around this place. Let me first say that I don't have a dedicated sewing ... View the Post
Girls Ruffled Apron Tutorial
Hey! Today I am knee deep (actually it's more like up to my eyeballs) in preparing for some upcoming events: sewing for the fashion show at Riley Blake's Fabric Fest, putting things together for our class at The Sewing Summit, and a top secret project that Elizabeth and I are CRAZY excited about. (Ok, it's not top secret...but we aren't ready to spill the beans just yet....) So, while I'm outside cutting and sewing on the patio (and letting the kids enjoy one of their last days of summer ...
