Works in Progress
I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress in the last week. Unfortunately, it’s the sort of progress that doesn’t seem like anything got done. I spent the majority of last night taping together and cutting out pattern pieces for a few upcoming projects: The Scout Tee from Grainline Studio, the Betty Bowler Bag…

I’m super excited that I finished a project this weekend. About a month ago, my sister saw my Aeroplane Bag by Sew Sweetness and wanted to know where I got it, because she wanted a similar bag for school. When I told her that I’d made it, she asked if I would make her one,…
Read MoreNunsense
Last week I was lucky enough to get to take photos of the Broadway Players production of Nunsense. It was a great show, and I hope that those of you who live near me got a chance to see it. For everyone else, here are a few fun moments from the show.

I seem to be doing a really good job of not getting much sewing done these last couple weeks. I really don’t have anything new to report so here’s a recap of where my current projects are at: Finished Flimsys: I have a total of 4 quilts with tops and backs ready for quilting. Those…
