Happy Hannukah: Day 4
I couldn’t let Minnie be the only fashionable one at the party, so I had a matching apron. Don’t they look nice together?
Happy Hannukah: Day 3
Try as I might, life gets in the way and I wasn’t able to post every day. But life is good, so here are my catch up posts. 🙂 This is Minnie’s Hannukah outfit. She wore it at the Hannukah party we had (where she was SO well behaved!) and was just the belle of…
A little more Thanksgiving
Wanted to share a couple other items I sewed for Thanksgiving. Above is a collar I made for Minnie. I used the same three fabrics you saw in the tablecloth and runner for everything, working with leftovers and scraps. Below is a skirt I made with leftover tablecloth fabric. And finally, since we already had…

Mitered Corners

Burda Anda Review
I thought I would take a moment to review the Burda Anda pattern. I posted the review to Pattern Review but I have it below for my faithful readers.
Pleated Kitchen Curtains
This weekend I finally got around to making curtains for my kitchen window. Since it looks onto the backyard I didn’t really need any that would close. Just wanted something to finish off the look and make it look homey. Did this somewhat freestyle, figuring out how much and what to do along the way.…
