During Shelter-In-Place, my one bedroom apartment has become my entire world. Not only does it serve as my living space, it is also functioning as my husband's office and a wardrobe room for a late night TV show. Shipping supplies are currently taking up our entry way. I've always used our dining table for cutting… Continue reading Free Sewing Machine Cover Pattern

What I’ve Been Doing During Social Distancing
These are unprecedented times we're living through right now. There are no hard rules during social distancing (except stay at least 6 feet away from people and wear a mask whenever you go outside!) So I've made a bullet point list of all the things I've been doing while quarantining over the past month. This… Continue reading What I’ve Been Doing During Social Distancing

Embroidered Floral Emery Dress
Around this time last year, I started working on a dress to wear to a dear friend's wedding. Since I know what I like, I resorted to using my go-to pattern for special occasion dresses- Christine Haynes' Emery Dress pattern. However, this time I wanted something a little different than my previous versions, which I… Continue reading Embroidered Floral Emery Dress

Christmas Gifts 2018
Christmas is always my busiest time of year. While I enjoy the holidays, my work schedule always makes it hard to fit in celebrating. So I like to spend little bits and pieces throughout the year making gifts for my family as my own way of enjoying Christmas all throughout the year. Here is a… Continue reading Christmas Gifts 2018

When I found out my brother and sister-in-law were expecting a baby, I couldn't wait to get started on making gifts for them. Their Pinterest board was full of woodland creature themed decor so I went onto Fabric.com and searched for "woodland creature fabric" and loaded up my cart with everything that I thought might… Continue reading Mini Moy Baby Gift Roundup
Striped Chambray Tamarack Jacket
I had had my eye on the Tamarack Jacket by Grainline Studio for a while because I still wore my old North Face fleece jacket from college when the weather turned cool in the Fall and I wanted something more adult looking. Thankfully Jen Beeman, the owner of Grainline Studio, announced a new sew-along for… Continue reading Striped Chambray Tamarack Jacket
