So I realize that I’ve been a total slacker in posting my running costumes. Because let’s face it — I’ve been a total slacker at posting. But look at this! 2 posts already this year. I’m a roll, don’t you think? At any rate, this was a top I made out of some moisture wicking…
Here is another quilt for Grace Circle. For this one I asked for an improv stripe blocks using green and yellow. One of the stitchers ended up giving me much smaller blocks so that’s what I cut up and used for the border. I think it ads a nice modern look to it. This was…
It’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Did I say minute? I meant months, or maybe even a year 😛 After some existential crisis with my blog I’ve decided . . . it’s fine just the way it is. So, what have I been up to? A lot. But we’ll get to that.…
Along with the baby quilt and bag that I sent off, I also wanted to include something for big sis. After verifying with her mom that she was now a few sizes bigger, I decided to go with a Geranium Dress, pattern from Made by Rae. This is definitely one of my go-to patterns for…
As I mentioned in my previous post, I had some leftover triangles from the baby quilt I was making. Not one to waste already sewn fabric, The triangles were in the perfect dimension to make a bag. I used the same solid color that I previously used for the quilt binding as at the sides.…
A recent finish for my friend’s little girl. I had these Tula Pink fat quarters for a really long time. Probably over 3 years, but just never had the right project for them. I think I may have used one of them at some point, but never got around to using the rest of them.…

We decided on Pokemon because there was variety for people to pick something they liked and they could go as complicated as they wanted or just…
I was sending some quilts for my cousin’s baby boy (post coming soon) but I didn’t want to send them along without sending something for his older sister. She’s quite the little fashionista so dresses are always a good bet for her 🙂 So I made her another Geranium Dress (patter by Made by Rae).…
The next item which I made for the Victorian ensemble for the Dickens Fair was the Truly Victorian 441 – 1861 Garibaldi Blouse. This was probably the easiest and most straight forward piece of the ensemble that I made. I was fortunate that Jill had already made hers (technically twice, since she made a muslin…
When you’ve got a hoop skirt, you’ve got to have a petticoat to go on top of it. Otherwise you can see all the hoops through it. I made my petticoat based off the Truly Victorian Free Petticoat Pattern. They’ve got all the yardage listed there although I ended up buying an entire bolt of…
