    DIY Overall Dress Using McCalls 8162

    October 18, 2020 / 1 Comment

    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…

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.

Shout out to Marcia from @keechiibstyle If you’re looking for an easy project to get your motivation going, why not start with a simple loungewear set? It’s a great way to practice basic sewing techniques, and you can sure a variety of different knit fabrics to choose from to make it unique. I used Vogue 1835 and McCalls 7607. These projects will give you the opportunity to practice working with stretch knits while still being an enjoyable and achievable project. Good luck! The wait is over! The blog post on this coat is up NOW. Ask me any questions that you have.  I thought I would share some information about myself with you. Which fact is untrue? Here we are, finally. It’s been a crazy year and month - I’ve been dealing with some serious health concerns that required me to take time off from my sewing blog. Thankfully, everything has turned out okay in the end. However, this event wasn’t one of those things that I needed or wanted; it was simply an unwelcome headache on top of too many other issues. Never have I ever… had to roll up fabric like a burrito to stitch a lining in place. This has definitely been one of my most interesting projects. Once it’s done, you will get a thorough blog post of EVERYTHING. Happy Anniversary to my hubby. This is one of my favorite pics of us. Looking forward to more years to come. There is nobody else I would want to be on this journey with. Looking for a unique gift 🎁. I’m dropping sneak peaks until my jewelry shop launch on 11.17.22. Go check out the page @thehouseofhorne Need to revamp a sweatshirt? Here’s an easy tutorial to embellish yours with beads. You can do designs or words. Let your creativity flow.
