One of the questions that I have been getting lately is where would I begin if I wanted to make a quilt? Well, next week we are going to spend Monday, Wednesday and Friday showing you how to make a quilt top. It should be a fun week....and if you can't sew along, it will still be a good reference for when you do feel like quilting. I pinky promise the pattern is easy (me and my old-school graph paper made it...you bet it's easy). And you will essentially be learning how to make a simple ... View the Post
The Princess and the Pea Necklace Tutorial
"ONCE upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones." ~Hans Christian Anderson We have been playing Princess and the Pea around here lately....and as fun as the story is I do think that there is an important underlying theme. No, it's not that they are going to ... View the Post
The Princess and the Pea Quilt Tutorial
And for all of you who know us, once we get a theme in our heads---we can't quite leave it alone. So we made a quilt for our own little princesses to dream of their own story. I love this quilt. It is simple....and made with scraps! What's not to love about that? I did take a few pictures of how I did it....so that you can make your own too. First I cut 2" strips of the leftover fat quarters from the Peggie people story. The fabric is Riley Blake's Willow line. Then ... View the Post
DIY PVC Pipe Princess Dress Rack—A How To
Ok...I know! PVC Pipes and Princess Dresses...it's a weird project...really weird. But I don't care. And my girls are crazy about it so it's what I'm sharing today. Here's the story: Awhile back Deborah from over at Sew Much To Give posted some hangers that she had made for her granddaughters princess dresses. Then she hung those princess dresses on a low bar so the girls had easy access to the dresses. It was brilliant. And I wanted to do the same thing However, I didn't have a great area ...

The Hexagon Quilt and Invisible Thread
The hexagon quilt is finally finished, washed and on its owners bed. Yippeee! I know you have seen this hexie one before (it's been a work-in-progress with the binding for awhile). But, I am so happy with the way it turned out. And I have a binding tip that maybe some of you already know (and you should have told me a long time ago)....but INVISIBLE THREAD is the bomb dot com (okay I never say that so I have no idea why I just wrote it). But, it really is. source I found this ... View the Post
The Vintage Sundress Pattern
Today we are over at We All Sew sharing our Vintage Sundress Pattern that I have been working on behind the scenes for awhile now, and I am very excited to be sharing it with all of you today. I feel like this dress is kind of a momentous occasion around here (even though it's really not--I am totally being dramatic) but is the first time that I patterned-drafted completely from scratch for more than one size. I think I tested it about 8 or 10 times and although I am still nervous ... View the Post
