I’ve always loved this Star Trek meme and I really wanted to make it into a cross stitch pattern to have in my sewing room. My pattern is available for download (click the link below). Happy Stitching!
Everything about this sweater makes me so happy. This sweater was my first attempt at stranded knitting and I’m still shocked at how easily I was able to pick up the technique. In the end, I held one yarn in my left hand and knitted continental style and I held the second yarn in my … More Sipila Sweater by Caitlin Hunter
I needed a simple pattern to get over my jean fitting frustrations. I’ve been interested in the patterns from The Assembly Line. I really love the silhouettes. They’re just my style. I choose the High Cuff sweater for my “easy” project. My only word of caution is that the patterns are very expensive and the … More TAL High Cuff Sweater
I was nearly defeated. This pattern made me question everything I thought I knew about fitting pants and my body. It all started when the pattern size for my measurements (size 14) was too small and I had to size up to a size 16. I knew things were going to go badly for me. … More Megan Nielsen Dawn Jeans
Ryan has recently learned how to cross stitch and we’ve joined together for this post. I designed the patterns and Ryan stitched them. I’ve made the patterns available for download. Happy Stitching!

I dove into this project, thinking I could easily alter the pattern using my pant block, but after one test pair, I realized I needed to step back and start … More Peppermint Magazine Spring Shorts
Buckwheat sounds scary if you are trying to avoid gluten. Despite its name, buckwheat is not wheat. It’s a seed rather than a grain, which means it’s gluten-free. Buckwheat flour gives these cookies a delicious flavor and a soft, chewy texture. You probably won’t be able to tell these are gluten-free cookies; they are just … More Gluten-Free Triple Ginger Cookies
We finally have warm weather, and that means I’m living in my short-sleeve t-shirts. Unfortunately, all of my favorite t-shirts have changed shape and size all of a sudden. Even though I’m super aggressive when I prewash my fabric, the shirts didn’t take kindly to drying during one of my business trips this year. I … More Hey June Handmade Union St. Tee
I’m finally getting back to sewing and blogging after a crazy few months. It’s now spring and I desperately need some warm weather pieces. I’ve never sewn a pattern from Papercut Patterns but I’ve seen a lot of other sewers make the Palisade shorts / pants and I wanted to give it a try. Sizing … More Papercut Patterns Palisade Shorts
