    DIY Overall Dress Using McCalls 8162

    October 18, 2020 / No Comments

    I am so excited to share this post with you. This is the first time that I have drastically alter a pattern that matched the vision I had in mind and made an overall dress of all things. If you've known me for a while then you know I don't wear overalls because I don't get the city slicker look I want when I wear them. Well ...

    Ditch the Stitch: Ways You Can Reduce Your Sewing Time

    February 26, 2020 / No Comments

    Happy Wednesday Introverts! If you caught my post yesterday then you know that I planned a two for one deal. Two posts this week! I know that’s unheard of from me. Well, I didn’t have time last week to get one of my posts up so I wanted to make sure that I caught up. Today, I will share some tips I have in making my own faux leather dress. If you follow trends then you know that leather/faux leather/pleather are on trend this winter so I tried my luck at making my own dress. My idea was to create a dress that didn’t have any neckline or hemstitching so…

    The Best Way to Sew a Teddy Faux Fur Coat

    February 13, 2020 / No Comments

    Happy early Valentine’s Day Introverts! Today, I thought I’d share something special a little V-day inspired look. A couple of weeks ago I went up to Flagstaff, Arizona to catch the little bit of snow that was left in Arizona. It doesn’t snow down in Phoenix at all, except that one time about 5 or 6 years ago, but it was gone in a few hours so you blinked and you missed it. Growing up in the Chicago area, snow in the winter was something that I looked forward to. I remember growing up making forts and having snowball fights with my little brother. We’d play for hours and then…

    Getting Away with Wearing Faux Fur in Arizona McCalls 7257 Pattern Review

    January 15, 2020 / No Comments

    I’m guilty of being one of those people who doesn’t take down her holiday decorations after the New Year. Now I have a good reason for it this year, dealing with my post-op recovery and other personal issues has made me a little depressed. For some reason, it has been more difficult than I remember it being the first time I had a fibroid removed. I still have pain on my left side, but it seems to get a little better every week. I just thought that into my 4th week now that I would be back to my normal self or at least skipping around the house a little…

    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…

    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…

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? 🤷🏽‍♀️
