Here’s another super old project that I’m just getting around to posting. These photos are from . . . 2017? Yeah, super old. Well, this will be a quick post. And nevermind what I’m wearing in the photos. I’m gardening. I’m not going to be wearing my finest duds when I’m playing in the dirt.…

Yeah, so this one is long overdue for posting. This is the Grainline Archer Button Up Shirt which I made at a workshop with Lauren Taylor at Hello Stitch Studio which is the cutest and most welcoming studio you’ve ever been to. If I lived near them, they’d be like a second home. Also, you can see…

So this is a post that is WAY overdue. This is my first running costume from my first Disney Princess Half-Marathon. Also my first half-marathon. Yeah, let’s face it, the only way you were going to get me to run 13.1 miles was with the lure of wearing a costume and the promise that tons…

I’m taking Designer Techniques in Sewing at Cañada College virtually this fall. The class is amazing. I’m learning tons of new techniques to use to make an article of clothing “mine” — exactly the reason why I love sewing my own clothes. Technically we only have to do a couple of samples each week, but…

It’s been a bit since I posted but that’s because time is weird in a pandemic. Here’s another Grace Circle charity quilt finish. For this one, I asked the circle members to make me a strawberry block using this tutorial. They came out so super cute! I put them in a brick pattern. The quilting…
