I’ve felt lately that it was about time for a blog change. Getting tired of the name and the format, so I’ve uploaded everything to a new web address and will continue to blog here: http...
I went to Kohl’s last week in an effort to spend my gift card and my objective was new workout wear, but when I found that department sadly lacking I wandered over to sleepwear and found this i...
These two striped cotton jersey pieces are what else I got at my impromtu stop at Hancock’s several weeks ago. They were both on the discount table and were the last of the bolt. The thinner ...
Done! Finished in two Saturdays. I really like this top. This fabric is perfect for warm weather. It’s very cool to the touch and drapes nicely. I used French seams at the shoulders and sid...
I bought this pattern last Friday when I made an impromtu stop at Hancock’s. Out of all the patterns I have, this is the first one I’ve purposely bought for a specific fabric I already h...
This is one of those “Why Didn’t I Think of That?” ideas: Take a quilt block and supersize it to make a full quilt! April is Quilting Month at Sew Mama Sew and in this particular p...
Yesterday I mentioned that I resurfaced my sewing table. Ahh, my sewing table. A labor of love for my husband. A year or so ago, he took an old fold-up table that we had around and cut holes in it...
Well, my weekend was pretty productive! On Saturday, I got all the laundry done, the dishes washed, cleaned off my kitchen table (I can actually see the top of it now!), and dove into the mess that i...
I just realized I didn’t blog at all last week. Whoops! Trust me, though, there wasn’t much to report. I have had little motivation to sew lately and I think it’s because my sewin...
I’ve never sewn with voile, but I love wearing it! Never thought to quilt with it. I must try this! What a luxurious summer blanket it would make. All the sun we’ve been getting lately ...
This happened a few weeks ago: We’ll just say it involved a man and his cat and an over-eager play session. So on Saturday, when the man was at work, I set to making a new lampshade. I sta...
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Mine was fairly productive. I sewed up a new pillowcase for my body pillow. The previous one I’d had for several years and was...
Rough Linen makes bedding all with French seams and pre-wash to shrink and soften. People of the earth — I have found my textile heaven!!! (found via Design*Sponge) Filed under: linky love, sew...
Our kitchen table is constantly being used. I used to have a gray, linen Ikea curtain panel over it acting as a tablecloth, but it got dirty so fast and always has heavy stuff put on it that launder...
This weekend seemed non-stop for us! Jeremiah finally got his check from his last job and we ran around Saturday spending it on new clothes for his new job (yay for new job!). Then on Sunday we dro...
Look what I found while browsing Craigslist Arts&Crafts section. A sewing machine that is specifically made to do only a blind stitch! I didn’t even know this kind of thing existed! What...
This is why I need a sheepskin rug. (Untitled, by sasha_afisha on flickr) Filed under: kitties
Here again are my favorite BurdaStyle projects from this past week. These are garments that I particularly like and would love to wear myself. I usually just “favorite” them on BurdaStyle, but I̵...
Happy March 1st! How was your weekend? Tense in anticipation of the giveaway winners? Of course :) I decided I didn’t want just one winner, so I selected random.org to give me two! Congrats,...
Thursday crept up on me way too fast, so I’m extending the deadline for the giveaway to 10:00pm PST on Sunday, February 28th to give more people a chance to enter! Winners will be announced Mo...
Ok – this giveaway is a belated celebration of my first year bloggiversary! I really wanted to do one then, but ended up not having enough time/energy/creativity to put one together in time. N...
I hope your weekend was enjoyable! I went to Seattle on Saturday for my first BurdaStyle Sewing Club meeting which was fun for me! There were about 7 of us and I met Christina and she showed us ho...
My favorite posts of Erie Basin’s tumblr are of the antique rings, especially the diamonds. Oh the diamonds! They take my breath away! Click on each pic to be directed to the individual posts ...
I am hopeful that this will become a real quilt. I only have enough white to make one more block like this one and I’m seriously considering hunting down more of it just so this doesn’t ...
Happy Monday! I drove to work this morning with the sun in my eyes for the first time in weeks. It was suprisingly refreshing! I’ve been quietly lamenting the fact that we didn’t get an...
There are several blogs that I have been reading and enjoying the past few weeks, so I thought I’d bring attention to them here in addition to adding them to the inconspicuous sidebar. Click o...
My friend Heather and I have been friends since we were 3 years old and were born just 4 days apart from each other. This year I made her a fabric book cover for her birthday using Mai’s tutor...
Happy Monday everybody! Did you have a good weekend? I did! So my official birthday is tomorrow, but my husband planned a surprise birthday party for me Saturday night and it was just that–a ...
Several months ago I bought a few yards of upholstery fabric off Craigslist with the intention of recovering one of our couches, but when I got home I made the sad discovery that it was several yards...
Craftzine posted this pic back in November last year and I still get a kick out of it! Filed under: linky love, sewing
