A simple dress with a simple story. This dress has a super simple silhouette and a great fabric will make it shine. Equally, this textured fabric doesn’t need much so that it too can shine. Historically, I’ve been scared to sew princess seams. This dress helped with that for sure! I think the fit is…

Lace Sweatshirt
I saw this gorgeous Zimmerman eyelet lace on Mood’s website and immediately bought a few yards. I wasn’t sure what I’d make with it. I finally decided on a sort of wrap skirt (almost done with that by the way) but then an idea for a girly sweatshirt popped to mind. I wanted to make…
Livin’ in Linen :: Part 2

I just wanted to make something cute for my trip to Cartagena. And I found this super cute sheer dotted curtain at one of my favorite stores,…
I Think I Like Herringbone…
How am I only NOW just noticing that both of these projects are herringbone?!?! HELLO McFly! This dress has been high on my Wanting to Make list since I started back sewing. Very high actually and I really wish I’d made this earlier! I LOVE HER! I love everything about what attracted me to this…
Obsessed with……
…….gift wrapping!!!!! For me, wrapping and presenting a gift is just as important as the gift itself. That and including a card! (I got that from my Mom. If you give her a gift sans card, she’s not opening the gift! Learned that biting lesson one lazy Mother’s Day!) One of my besties was celebrating…
