I was sick for most of the weekend so I didn’t get much sewing done. Since I was sick, I also missed a class that I had really been looking forward to, so I was pretty bummed about that. And th...
Lately, I’ve been working on this… Tracing and trimming… Lots of pinning… A vintage-inspired top (a fitted muslin for one anyway)! Trying to pick a color for this: And listeni...
I see London, I see France… Actually, I think it’s a map of Germany! It’s in a linen/cotton blend that I think will be nice and cool for the spring and summer. I added a thin cotton...

One more quick in-progress peek of what I’ve been working on lately… Can you guess what it’s going to be?
Ok, so this deviates just a smidge from my spring sewing challenge… but I’ve been so good, I made a dress, see? Anyway, I found this fabric in my stash when I was pulling out the fabric f...
Remember this in progress photo here? That was back, oh, maybe a week ago. Yeah, it’s been awhile… What happened, you might ask? I fought the bias tape and the bias tape won. More on that...
For my Peony Dress, I’ve decided to make my own bias tape. I’ve never made my own bias tape before. That involves trying to figure out how to use one of these: Pretty crazy looking contra...
Remember St. Patty’s Day in Elementary school? Boy, kids could be brutal! Haha. The one day of the year where you could get away with pinching your classmates without the teacher getting too ma...
A little update on the spring sewing progress! First up on my sewing list for this spring is the Peony dress from Colette Patterns. After making a muslin and a few adjustments from there, I jumped ri...
A few weeks ago, while Mr. Sweet and I were cruising around Ikea looking for some new curtains, I picked up one of these nifty magnetic boards over in the workspace section. I hemmed and hawed over g...

Fancy seeing you around here, stranger! Thanks for stopping by! I know that I’ve been a bit absent around the blog for awhile… I just checked and my last post was in November. Yikes! I...
Hi again! Sorry to just disappear on you like that, bloggies! I had an old injury act up again in the last few months that made blogging (and making pretty things to share with you guys) a bit diffic...

Hey bloggies! I’m finally back from a bit of a blogging hiatus! If you’ve been checking the blog, thank you for being so patient! I was sick for awhile and then took a bit of a much neede...
Happy Monday everyone! Today I’m sharing the tutorial with you for the skirt from this post. The Pretty Little Plaid Skirt a.k.a. “The Modest Mini Skirt: Pretty Little Plaid Version”...
… Skirt! I’ve been admiring the cute, summery, stitched-together looking plaid skirts that I’ve been seeing around this summer. Every time I find them in stores though, they’r...
Hey bloggies! Long time, no see! Sorry about that – I’ve been a bit under the weather for the last week or so. And then I made this: Mr. Sweet’s birthday was earlier this week and I...
Remember when I posted about buying this fabric a few weeks ago? It’s kind of funky and fun, eh? Well, it got made into this! Ta-da, my first shirt! I’m pretty proud, can you tell? I used...
A little sneak peek of tomorrow’s post… Can you guess what it is going to be? I’m SO excited to be in the Top 5 Summer Sewing Projects link up over at Kitty Cats and Airplanes! Take...

A few weeks ago I came across this little craft shop online and discovered that it was actually in the next big town over. I don’t remember exactly how I came across it, but their website was r...
This is a kind of wordy post. But it’s a story. An adventure of sorts. It’s also a little silly. And a little awkward. Do you like silly awkward adventures? If you do, keep reading. Remem...
