I recently saw a super cute skirt tutorial on Pinterest for Simple Simon & Co.’s Vintagely Modern Skirt. I fell in love with it pretty much immediately. The one problem? The tutorial is really for a little kid’s skirt. Well, I tried it anyway. And I’m happy to report that it looks great even with…

As many large projects as I work on, sometimes it’s nice to have a quick and simple project. Thanks to Anna over at Noodlehead, I have a super fun and easy project to do when I need a break – or run out of the fabric I need to finish the project I’m supposed to…

I loved making my Colette Mini Bloomers so much that I want to learn more about sewing clothes. To that end, I’ve picked up a copy of The Colette Sewing Handbook. My goal is to work my way through the entire book, learning some useful skills and techniques along the way. I’ll be updating my…

The yellow spiral quilt is officially finished! I completed the top a couple weeks ago, but couldn’t decide what to do about the binding. With Friday having been the Friday Night Sew-In, I wanted to get it out of the unfinished pile. After all, I’ve already started another quilt you’ll hear about in a few…

I’m doing Friday Night Sew-In tonight! It’s my very first one. Tonight I’m planning to add the binding to my yellow spiral quilt and hopefully get a little more done on my newest quilt project, or maybe make a zip pouch that goes with my Weekender bag.

In my last post I mentioned that I was making a Weekender Bag. I’m happy to say that it’s done! The project uses a ton of fabric and the pattern was a bit difficult for me to follow, but I’m blaming that on the fact that I’ve never had to read a pattern before. After…
