Over the summer I've been working on a few projects that I haven't had a chance to share yet. Like this field journal and messenger bag that I made for Simon. The fabric came from a fat quarter bundle that we received in the mail from Coats and Clark. It is a sneak peak at a brand new line that will be released in the United States next month! The line is designed by Tim Holtz and is called Eclectic Elements. The line has a great turn of the century vibe and it reminds me of adventures, ... View the Post
Strange Things Are Afoot At the Circle K…And It’s Going to Keep Coming…
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away (a year and a half ago in Elizabeth's van on the way home from a pattern drafting course) we has this idea to make T-shirts for ourselves and our kids.

Because we could use a little Hamburger Helper….
No, this isn't a sponsored post. It's not really even about Hamburger Helper.But who can resist this little guy?(source)Let's start at the beginning. The other day Ruth and I were at the grocery store. I needed to grab a few things for dinner, it was getting late in the evening, and I had a hungry family. So as I'm whisking up and down the aisles systematically gathering the items on my list I came to a halt. There in front of the tomatoes was an older gentleman reading something on his ...

Skirting the Issue: Bereavement Gown Pattern
Today we'd like to share the links to patterns for Bereavement Gowns.
