I was super excited a couple weeks ago when Leila (you may know her from The Three Dresses Project) asked me to try out and make a promotional version of Lolita Pattern’s latest release, Gunmetal. It was the first time I’d ever been asked to make a test/promotional version of a pattern, and it was…

It’s November already, which means time to start on my Christmas sewing. OK, so I started this project a couple weeks ago. But in my defense, I am making myself another embellished crazy quilt, so I expect it to take a while to put together. Actually, I expect to be working on it until after…

It uses lots of great fabrics, including the Victorian Dream line from Roberta Morales for Quilting Treasures, some beautiful hand-dyed fabrics from Just Plain Laine, and of course, lots of scrap and stash fabrics. I am in love with…

My steampunk crazy quilt project is officially halfway complete! I have 2 rows sewn together. The rows still aren’t attached to each other. First, because I am not sure what order my rows will need to be in to make the final quilt look best and, second because I don’t have enough bias tape to…

Yesterday was an amazing mail day! My Spooktacular fat quarter bundle came in the mail from Fat Quarter Shop! It’s nine super great Halloween themed fat quarters. I’m thinking I want to make a quilt of some sort, but I’m still not sure what I want the quilt to look like. There are some great…

The exterior of the bag is made from lime green sheepskin leather and raw silk. The lining and detailing on the exterior are made from 100% silk. My favorite part of the bag are the…
