    Don’t be Like me: Tips to Sew Burda Pattern 6661

    July 12, 2019 / No Comments

    Happy Friday loves! I always like to search to see if anyone else has made a pattern I’m attempting that way if I get stuck I can reach out and see what they are doing and I hope that others do the same with me. The sewing community is a really open and sharing group of ladies and gentleman. If you decide to join you will not regret it. Well, on my search I only found one other person who had made the jacket. It made me wonder was it the pattern number that kept people away? I get it if it is. I decided that I wouldn’t let a…

    Everything You Need to Know About Creating Simplicity Pattern 8174 Moto Jacket

    May 1, 2019 / No Comments

    I finally got the images I needed to show you all the blood, sweat and tears I put into making my first moto jacket. If you know me then you know I don’t like to take the easy way when it comes to sewing. I am not afraid to try making something new if it will get me one step closer to my dream wardrobe. I had a moto jacket in the past, but it was faux leather and after a while, it started to pill. After that, I couldn’t get myself to purchase a new one and real leather motos were out of the question because of the cost…

    The Fear of Leggings: Pattern Review of McCalls 7261

    April 23, 2019 / No Comments

    There are many aspects of my life where I find myself being brave and then I have moments of complete fear. I usually ignore the problem until I can muster up the courage to tackle it, but sometimes that can take weeks such is the case with making a pair of leggings. The last time I made fitted pants they almost ripped on the runway and I have allowed that fear to cripple my creativity when it comes to sewing pants. Last year I only made one pair of pants and I made them so wide that I wouldn’t have to worry about my curves. Now my goal last year…

    Simplicity 8424 Pattern Review: Mesh Knit Pullover Top

    April 17, 2019 / 3 Comments

    Hey Loves! I know it has been a while. I have been working hard on my craft and health lately so I had to put blogging on the back burner for a minute. Good news is that my health is starting to get under control (yeah Zumba!!) and I am seeing the inches come off. You’ll see in the photos from today’s review. I can honestly say this is my new favorite top. I wanted to create something with a little more edge to it as I wanted to show that I can be edgy not just adorable or cute as I’ve heard most of my life. This was a…

    Planning for the Future

    January 8, 2019 / No Comments

    In 2019, I want to go into the year with the mindset of “Why Not” try. Too often we let Nah sayers including ourselves stop us from doing something courageous. We tell ourselves why should I even try when I will fail. We set ourselves up for failure before we even launch. This year I decided “Why Not” start that Web Design company you wanted to start. I have been studying on and off all year and am so close to being done with my first course so “Why Not” finish and do something I’m passionate about. A couple of years ago, I discovered Web Design by accident. I was…

    Hi Lovies, I have been waiting to write this post for two weeks now. This pattern was on my to-do list since earlier this summer. It was a very popular make, but I wasn’t feeling good over the summer, so I didn’t bother to try. During last months “No TV Challenge” I decided to give this a go. It was still 100+ degrees outside, so I didn’t run the risk of not being able to wear it. My first time wearing it was at the AZ Women’s Expo. I hadn’t been in years and decided to go with my mom.  She raved about the top, which made me feel good because…

    You Gave Up What for a Month?

    October 2, 2018 / No Comments

    “I’m giving up TV for a month,” I said. “You have fun with that,” was my husband’s first reaction. That upcoming weekend was Labor Day weekend, so as I visited with my family I told them the same news. My mother had a couple of questions like “What all does that entail? No movie theaters?” I simply replied, “Yes.” She joked, “Well that doesn’t mean the rest of us couldn’t watch TV.” I agreed with her as I had found a way around watching TV, conversation. I asked my mom about what she was up to and followed up with questions to those answers. We eventually left the living room…

    DIY Socks: The Dos and Don’ts to Save you Time

    September 4, 2018 / No Comments

    I had this ingenious idea to buy a bulk of yarn and make berets using a Loom knitter. Fast forward to 3 years later and I have barely made a dent in my stash. I plan to change that this year. Although my stash looks pretty in its little cubby hole, I would love to have some more storage to get my fabric out of my Joann bag on the floor that has been there for months. I figured now would be the perfect time to start making these since we don’t have a long winter here in Arizona. I would like to get some wear out of them. I’m…

    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…

ON THE SUBJECT OF ME

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.

Happy Monday! Are we still saying that? I have been a busy bee trying to pack so you’ll have to excuse me while I disappear for a minute. You guys mentioned you wanted more faux leather so I am here to deliver.
This is why you can’t follow what happens on social media so closely. NO ONE’S life is perfect. I meant to get this up yesterday, but waited for Chris to get home to take the pictures. He wanted to practice and my camera was acting up. We took this with my phone.
The pup is at camp and we have the house to ourselves. Oh the shenanigans that will be had. To all those who celebrate Happy Valentine’s Day! 🤗 💋 🤗 💋
Don’t mind us just out here in these streets trying to get our lives together.
In honor of National Wear Red day. I pulled this red number from the archives. Most of you know I suffer from blood clots and pulmonary embolism, which is due to a protein S deficiency that was triggered by taking birth control to control my fibroids. Yeah, I know how wild that sounds, but I am not alone. Blood clots left untreated can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. These diseases cause 1 in 3 deaths in women every year making it the number one health related killer in women. So this is near and dear to my heart.
Here’s a throwback for you. You guys remember this little red number? I’m working with leather again. Be sure to check my stories for a sneak peek of the bag I made.
Trying to find a black owned business to support in honor of black history month? I gotcha covered. Check out these buttons made by my girl @tabithasewer she didn’t like what she saw in the stores like most of us and created these unique and fun buttons. Go check out her page and follow if you aren’t already.
A new month and a Monday has rolled around again and I have to say that I am totally exhausted. I wish the weekend was longer. But who doesn’t? 🤷🏽‍♀️
