Big Easy Pullover in Caron Simply Soft Super Duper Yellow

I choose Yarnspirations Big Easy Pullover because there is a crochet along associated with the pattern. You can find the pattern here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/spinrite/pdf/CARON-SIMPLYSOFT-C-BigEasyCrochetPullover-WEB.pdf The online crochet along has been posted on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vckx3Av9LS8 https://youtu.be/z3crFFSvPqY https://youtu.be/reRPxEYeiiI As far as fit goes, I've already made some edits to the pattern. I didn't like the wider neckline, so... Continue Reading →

Brindille & Twig in Sweetkniits

Normally I don't buy knit fabric for kids clothes, but instead, use leftover scrap fabric from my stash. Waste not, want not. However, I just couldn't resist these prints. I was dubious about ordering fabric through a small studio selling through Facebook, but I thought what the heck. I ordered fabric in both the cotton... Continue Reading →

McCall’s m6649 in Flannel

Bring on the mystery flannel fabric I found while wasting time. I wish I knew more about this fabric, but unfortunately, I can't give you any more information than that. I can tell you I got it at Fabric Mill in Orem, UT. I got to sew this shirt using my new sewing machine, Babylock... Continue Reading →

How to Sew Bed Sheets

We recently upgraded our queen size mattress to a king size mattress by way of getting two twin XL mattresses and shoving them together to make a king size mattress. I needed to make new bedding!!

Made by Rae Geranium Dress

I recently found a local fabric store that has a ton of excellent quilt cotton fabrics. I wanted to show my husband, so during the Christmas holiday, we went. While meandering around the store, I found the perfect fabric to make an Easter dress for a friend's little girl.

Nosh Obsessed: Sew House Seven Toaster Sweater #1

Nothing beats a good sweatshirt and urban fit track pant combo. In the last week, I've made myself several sweaters out of the most glorious sweatshirting fabric you could imagine. NOSH's stretch sweatshirt fleece is made from organic cotton. It contains elastane which gives it great stretch and recovery. This fabric is resilient, flexible, durable, does not pill, and is super easy to work with.

Peek-A-Boo Riverside Robe

I've put off sewing a fleece robe for 2 years, almost as long as I have been sewing. Why? First, I was not looking forward to tracing out the pattern. B (or second), I was not looking forward to cutting out long pieces of fabric that wouldn't fit on my sewing table, so I'd have to get on the floor and cut out fabric. Third, I hate sewing with fleece. IV (or D or Fourth), if you are a Doctor Who fan, I hope you got my joke...

Neon Pink Polkadot Blouse

I'm starting a full time position this semester and I'm going to have to get serious about my work appropriate wardrobe. First step is to make a bunch of great button-down shirts. Luckily I'm able to wear jeans to work, so a classy shirt with jeans is going to be a great go-to outfit.
