The challenge features the new fabric line from Robert Kaufman called… Manchester Metallics. The manchester metallics fabric is gorgeous and has just the right amount of shimmer. I love how the fabric changes in the sunlight! It adds extra dimension and… View Post

I’ve been lucky to tag along on a few of her blog hops this past year and always learn something new. Isn’t this cake block adorable?

Accessorize your summer with.. popsicles! I have an addiction to sewing pouches and thought a “half moon” shape was perfect for a summer-time pouch. I also love to print my own fabric and decided that a bright popsicle theme was in order. Isn’t the popsicle the cutest design? I bought the popsicle design in the Silhouette Design Store and then created a repeat pattern in Silhouette Studio. After finalizing my design,… View Post
Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I posted here on my blog.. I had a baby 6 weeks ago, so let’s just say that I’ve been in newborn land. It’s been wonderful, but the late nights are making sewing and crafting a little more difficult than anticipated. Did I tell you that I was selected for the 2016 / 2017 Silhouette American… View Post
I’m back sharing a sewing project and a giveaway today! A few years ago I made “Hello Cali” swag bags for a girls trip to Santa Barbara, California. I bought plain cotton shopping totes and used my Silhouette Cameo to create a fun design for the front. Last June we moved across the country from Tampa to Los Angeles and I left a few moving boxes… View Post

An item I have an especially hard time discarding is the left over freezer paper bits from when I print on fabric. I love using my Silhouette machine to cut unique… View Post
Like most of my projects, I’ve been planning on making this little pouch for years. My son was hospitalized with RSV when he was 9 months old. After that he got sick at the drop of a hat.. We were a very busy family, so I made sure to always bring our emergency items everywhere we went. I often thought about making… View Post
Last week I shared a tutorial on how to make your own printed fabric. This week, I promised a big reveal on the printed fabric sewn into a boxy pouch… I have to tell you that printing my own fabric was a blast.. I’ve been planning on doing it forever and finally went for it. There are so many possibilities when you print your own… View Post
There’s something to be said about putting off a project and then never getting around to it.. This was the case with my son’s 4 birthday shirt. So simple in design, super easy to make, yet jam packed with so much meaning. The ah-ha moment came a few days ago when we were buying candles for his birthday cake. I pointed out the number 4… View Post
