DIY Wrap Top Using Simplicity 8424
Did you miss me? January was such a crazy month I would start a blog post, but then completely get distracted and didn't get to share this wrap top I made using Simplicity 8424. Ironically enough this is the perfect time to share it for two reasons Valentine's day is this Sunday and the fabric that I used is from a Black and Latina own fabric company called Melanated Fabrics.

How to Adjust Any Sewing Pattern From Woven to Stretch Fabric
Hey you Introverts, have you ever found a pattern you loved, but didn’t want to make it out of stiff fabric with no give?

It’s Official! I am a Minerva Blogger
Hi Introverts! I have been waiting for months to share the news. Minerva.com reached out to me last year to be a blogger on their site. And of course, I said, YES! How it works is I get to pick fabric from a list that they send out each month and they send it to me to make something beautiful and share with you all and their followers on their site. A lot of people would turn down the offer for free products, but seeing as I sew all the time it made sense. They are helping me feed the monster that I call my sewjo. I was so ecstatic…
