A few weeks ago I was a part of the Riley Blake Quilted Cotton Blog Tour. Their new quilted cotton collection is glorious. It is a double sided quilted cotton – fun prints on each side, super soft and very easy to sew with. I asked for a little too much of the fabric.. Poor me, right? I’ve been planning on making zippered pouches out… View Post
I’m happy that September is here. My summer was super busy and I’ll admit that the last few weeks were kinda lousy. However, I have great expectations for the fall and all the good stuff that cooler weather brings. I didn’t have much time to sew this summer. While I just posted these projects last week, I had a blast creating them. I loved… View Post
My husband and I like to dine out and usually bring our 2 1/2 year old son Tanner with us. Over the last 12 months it has gone from an easy dinner to total chaos. We always bring a bag stuffed full of goodies for his entertainment. It’s messy and irritates us everytime we use it. For quite some time I’ve envisioned sewing… View Post

I thought it was time to sift through my baby tutorials and gather my top 5.. If you’ve read my About Me page, you can see that I’ve never wanted to sew for babies and kids. I studied fashion design and it was all about handbags and apparel. However after my son was born, I was newly inspired to sew… View Post
Hello August! August always makes me a little sad.. It means summer is ending and fall is near.

We went home to Canada for… View Post
