#OurProject52 – Out of Focus
Do you ever feel out of focus? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately, and I know it’s been seeping into the blog. I can’t remember the last time I had a finished sewing project to share with you. Ok, I can remember when it was, but let’s just say it was a while ago. Instead…
Read MoreFoxy Scarf
It was selfish sewing week a couple weeks ago, so I used that as an excuse to finally get around to making myself a fun infinity scarf. I used a great linen blend Japanese print fabric, backed with a teal knit, finishing the look with some vintage pom pom trim. I absolutely love how it…
Read MoreDenim Book Covers – #AnnaInSpain
Today, I’m happy to be sharing another one of Anna’s projects- a pair of book covers made from upcycled denim jeans. How cool is that? These book covers are made from jeans panels with simple pocket style slits in the interior to hold the book cover. This is a super fun project, and I’m so…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Handmade Clothes
I love handmade clothes. I’ve even made a few for myself. But I have one problem with making my own clothes- I can never get the finish the way I want. The outsides always look great, but my inside seams ravel. I think I need a serger, unless you have another, less bulky way to…

You can vote for your favorites until 8:00pm CST on Friday, January 16th, 2015. The only other thing that…
Read MoreIntroducing Yuletide Magic
I’m excited to share my most recent quilt finish with you all today. I’ve named the quilt “Yuletide Magic” after the panel that I pulled the focus fabric from. Aside from that panel, the rest of the fabric was left over from my Christmas Emporium quilt (also known as the Christmas crazy quilt). I wanted…

I actually feel like I’ve made a lot of progress on my in the last week. I finally finished the binding on my the Christmas quilt I made from the leftover Christmas fabrics I had after I made my crazy quilt. I think I’ll call the quilt Yuletide Magic, after the panel that I used…
Read MoreWorks in Progress
I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress in the last week. I finished all the blocks for the Christmas quilt I’m making with the left over fabric from my Christmas Crazy Quilt. Then I got those blocks put together for a finished top, pieced the back, and quilted it. Now all that’s left…
