Works in Progress
My weekly update on projects progress. Finishes This is the second week in a row that I haven’t had any finishes. It’s almost depressing. But I have a decent excuse for the lack of sewing. My birthday was yesterday, so I’ve spent lots of my spare time this week out shopping with mom, going to…
Read More#DYOSampler Quilt Along: Picking Blocks
This week, I’m happy to share with you the second part of my process for my sampler quilt – picking out the blocks I want to use. Remember that as part of the #DYOSampler quilt along, we’re designing everything ourselves, from the fabrics and size, all the way down to the layout and selection of…
Read More#DYOSampler Quilt Along: Designing the Layout
You may remember that I mentioned in my Quilting Bucket List, that I really wanted to make the Gypsy Wife quilt…. It’s something that I’d still love to do, but SewMamaSew recently announced the #DYOSampler quilt along (and also a medallion quilt along, if that’s more your style), and I thought it would be a…

It’s spring! And that seems to make me feel like making dresses. Well, that and the wedding I’m attending at the end of April. I’m hoping to make myself a dress to wear to it. I found a pattern I’m super excited about to make for the wedding, but I wanted to do a test…

My weekly update on projects progress. Finishes This week I made myself a wonderful wearable muslin of Victory Patterns Ava dress. I’m glad I did, as my “for real” version will need to be several sizes smaller. Finished Quilt Tops: No quilting has been done on any of my previously finished tops. And the gift…
Read MoreNewsboy Cap
Last week, Craftsy featured a free pattern for a newsboy style cap on their site. I love a good hat, so as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make it. The pattern was very easy to follow, and took very little fabric. There are only 3 pattern pieces printed across 3…
