Here’s a real throwback. This is the Amy Butler Honeybun Pouf (available here but you’ll need to scroll down the page). You may notice that it looks only partially filled and that’s because it is. It was created to fill with with scraps. You know all the those off cuts from making clothes? Or from…
This is probably one of the fastest finish to photos I’ve ever had. I finished this last Wednesday (literally, I was finishing up the lining by hand in the hotel room that night because I wanted to wear it the next day), got photos over the weekend and you get to see it today! The…
This little cottagecore number is the newest pattern from Pattern Emporium that I had the pleasure of testing called the Meet You There Dress. This pattern has several options including 2 sleeve lengths or sleeveless, 2 necklines, at least 5 possible lengths and a bunch of add-ons. I went with the 3/4 sleeves (pushed up…
This pattern is the Anna Dress by By Hand London. For years I saw reviews and pics of this pattern and really wanted to make it. I love a good boatneck top. And it seemed to look good on everyone. I finally got it and used this beautiful metallic quilting cotton that looks like mermaid…
This shirt took me about 2 years to finish. I actually started it during the same Lauren Taylor workshop as this shirt. Basically I’m fast (when I want to be)(at sewing, not taking photos . . . obviously) and don’t really need the full three days. So on the third day I started a new one…
Here’s a Grace Circle quilt from the start of the pandemic. I was the quilter for this one and asked everyone for a single Welcome Home block (pattern) which I thought was appropriate. I requested bright colors with a black background and I think the colors pop quite nicely. It’s go a great clean, modern…
I have another pattern test to show you! This is the Flawesome Cut Out Top (and dress, but I only made the top for the test) by Pattern Emporium and it was just released today! It’s a fun top with a little bit of an edgy vibe due to the cut out on top. I probably…
I did this quilt as part of the 4th Mystery Quilt Along with Hello Stitch Studio. I love their mystery quilts because the woman Nancy who runs them makes you feel like family and that you’re getting together with a bunch of friends each week despite the fact that you’re all over zoom. Plus, she…
During 2020, my quilt guild did a block of the month in a very modern way. They had us pick out 5 fabrics and then each month we got a different type of block to make. However, at the end, there was no direction for how to put them together. That was up to us.…
This was the Belle costume that I made for my cousins daughter (first cousin once removed?) a year or two back for Halloween. I used the same pattern McCall’s MP551 that I used for the Cinderella costume I made. Apparently after she got the Cinderella costume, she loved it so much she wanted to be…
