    The Fastest/Simplest Way to Make a Bow Tie

    August 28, 2018 / No Comments

    Hey loves, As some of you may know, sewing is a form of therapy that has really turned into a passion for me. When I get something right, it makes my week. And when I get something completely wrong it’s like the world has ended. That’s when the hubby avoids the sewing area at all cost, lol. Well, this is one that I got right. For a couple of years now my father asked me to make him some bow ties. He was the first on my list of many who have asked for me to make them something the minute they found out I could sew. To be honest,…

    Why I Made the Decision to go Organic

    July 2, 2018 / No Comments

    Hey loves, I know it’s been a while since I have written anything. A lot has transpired over the last couple of months. My health has not been the greatest, so it has been a roller coaster to say the least. July 1st marks the start of a new beginning for me. I have decided to go the organic route with the foods I consume. I have already started to exercise as of last week with my husband, but now we are ready to get really serious. My goal for changing the types of foods I eat is to get my hormones in check and lose excess weight that has…

    Simplicity 8216 Pattern Review: Sleeveless Tunic Modification

    March 29, 2018 / No Comments

    Today, I'm doing a Throwback Thursday post. I made this top back in June of last year for my trip to the Grand Canyon. I surprised my husband and took him up to our timeshare for his birthday and to see one of the wonders of the world. I knew it was getting a little toasty in Arizona, so I wanted something that would be light and airy for our trip up there. There was an app I used to use, they don't exist anymore, but they would offer style options that you could purchase in the app. I found this one sleeveless shirt that had a bow tie option…

    McCall 7686 Pattern Review: Off The Shoulder Bell Sleeve Shirt

    January 24, 2018 / No Comments

    I am trying something new this year where I sew 2 -3 garments a month. My goal is to use the fabric that I have been hoarding in my bookshelves and really learn from my mistakes so I can get better. I didn’t want to go at it alone, so I joined a sewing group on Facebook called Sewciety by Kelly H. There are a ton of groups out there, but Ms. Kelly’s is one that stood out to me. The reason why is because I signed up for a sewing fashion show for Mimi G a few years ago. I hadn’t sown anything in years but wanted to put myself…

    The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your Dream Wedding at Sandals Negril Resort (Part I)

    January 17, 2018 / No Comments

    Chris, my husband and I were engaged in August 2016, not even a week after my 30th birthday. He had planned everything with my friends and family down to what to say to keep me guessing because I don’t like surprises. I’ll save the whole story for another day. As we were sitting around the table with our friends celebrating the questions began. Mind you this was only about 15-20 minutes after I said yes. The questions started with “When do you want to get married?” and “Do you know where you want to get married?“ We were like wait a minute we just got engaged and you were there,…

Hi! Who am I you ask? I am a shy girl who has a sarcastic and goofy side and has found sewing to be my outlet to break out of my shell. I grew up with siblings so I like to share my knowledge with those around me. I look forward to getting to you know you.

May was madness. Yep I said it. We had a tornado of a month here in the Horne household and so ready to start a new month. As you can see I am already in shorts because it is HOT 🥵. It is already in the 90s and hit over 100 a few times. So you know what that means you’re about to get all this summer content. No more coats for now, lol.
Do it terrified. I’ve heard people say for years that they have a sewing machine and are inspired to sew because of what I or another sewist did. BUT they never start sewing. This video is a PSA to just start, you may not be great at it in the beginning but the more you practice the more you will learn and grow. You’ll start fooling people thinking your clothes were store bought (as long as you press your seams 😂). Plus, you will have a lot fun along the way and the sewing community on IG is so welcoming you’ll have tons of support.
Raise you hand if you dread Mondays. 🙋‍♀️

In the studio today working on some goodies. Since I have so many new followers I thought I’d share a little about myself.
I told y’all I was going to start having fun with this camera. Swipe right to see me in action.

Don’t mind me, just over her trying to find my inner peace after a long week. Is it Friday yet?
You won’t believe this. I’m finally going live. Yep my first live for 2022. Come hang with me. We’ll laugh, dance and talk about sewing. Can’t wait to see you there.
