Pattern Emporium has done it again with another amazing pattern that I was honored to pattern test! This is the Carefree Cuffed Tee which was just released today (so you can get it at 15% off for the next week or so). This post is mostly gonna be photos because the top itself is pretty…

I recently decided I needed to free up more space on my sewing table. One way I decided to do that was by replacing several of my standing thread racks with storage containers. For threads like embroidery, metallic and other specialty types, it’s fine to not have them out visible all the time. I still…

This quilt took forever. Okay, not forever. Twenty-one years. But that’s still a very long time for a single quilt. I started it for my bestie Serena while we were still in college. I had completed one quilt at that point. I was very ambitious in deciding to make a queen size quilt for anyone,…

This jacket is Vogue 8346 (edited to remove link since it no longer appears on the Vogue website though I’m pretty sure they still sell it) which was my final project for the tailoring class I took virtually this semester at the Cañada College fashion department. This was an amazing class and I learned oodles.…

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…

Just a little seasonal knit. For whatever reason I had a strong desire to create a knit pumpkin. So I did. The pattern is the free Bulky Pumpkin by Fiber Me This and the yarn is a super squishy and soft superwash merino called Shepherd Bulky from Lorna’s Laces. It really is delightful and I wish that…
