Sewing Back to School

I’m wrapping up the sewing back to school challenge (#sewBackToSchool) over at Love Notions. Keep reading to for lessons learned as well details of the easiest and hardest make for the challenge.

Birthday Dress Tradition Continues, 6.0

It was that time of year again! Lilli, my daughter, gets a new dress for her birthday. Past 3 years, she has been the designer for her dress. It’s our little thing we do now. I am excited to see how our tradition changes overtime.

Pattern Testing – Making it Yours

Keep reading for all the details and pattern review.

Finally, Woven Pants

Do you sew for special occasions or everyday life? Or do sew a mix? I am going to show you how I turned a special shirt pattern into an everyday wear.
