For Halloween of 2017 (I know, I know, some of these posts are WAY overdue), my cousin’s daughter wanted to be Cinderella. Who was I to say no? Also, I was pretty psyched to make her an awesome costume. One of my favorite parts is the back (above). I love the giant bow although it’s…

Here’s another one from way back. This is the Seamwork Neenah. The fabric is some Ponte from Fabric.com that I had originally ordered as a potential fabric for my April O’Neil costume, but obviously didn’t end up using. I was making it as a muslin for a dress I wanted to do for Costume College.…

Time for a more recent project. This one is the Sew Sweetness Tortoise Bag. I’ve been doing a bit more crocheting and knitting these days and wanted something to carry around my current project. The outer fabric is some Riley Blake that my mom gave me leftover from one of her projects and the lining…

Coming off the last piece that I made, this is what I made with the leftovers. I had just enough to eke it out. The base is the Renfrew shirt by Sewaholic (one of my tried and true patterns) that I just hacked down the middle and shortened. I really like the overall execution. I did…

Another old one. This is the 4 out of 5 Weekender Tunic and I wear it all the time. Whenever it’s clean. I made it using some acrylic sweater knit from CaliFabrics that was on sale (check it out — it’s still on sale!) It felt kinda stiff when I got it, but after a single wash…

I made a video! I also made pizza. This is a video to go along with the freezer-style pizza that I make on the regular. I call it freezer pizza because the quality of it is very like those cheap pizzas you get from the freezer at the supermarket. They’re definitely not gourmet, but they…

I’ve got a massive backlog of projects that I worked on over the last year (or two . . .) that I never posted, so I’ll be squeezing those in between more recent stuff. This one here is a set of glitter dot running skirts that I made for the Universal Studios Minion 5K. Courtney…

I recently had the opportunity to pattern test the Morrison Top and Dress from Blue Dot Patterns. This was my first time pattern testing. I had applied to various indy patterns for testing before, but this was the first time I’d actually been chosen. It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed seeing the…

While I get photos of some other stuff together, here’s a photo of another quilt I finished. This one was for my cousin’s little girl. I used fat quarters from the Wonderful Things line in the color way Honest Whispers. For the pattern I used the Fat Quarter Shop’s Fat Quarter Fizz Quilt Patternbecause I…
