I shared this post over at Sew Mama Sew a few years ago. Sadly I think they have taken down their website. I have had a quite a few readers email and ask about the directions, so I thought I would drum up the tutorial and share it with you all again. Each bag has 4 colors. This is a project… View Post
I recently collaborated with the online fabric store www.modes4u.com. They let me pick a few yards of glorious fabric from their online store and in return I was to sew a project with it. Have you checked out their online store? They have an amazing assortment of fabric, plus tons of little trinkets and cute stuff. I especially LOVE their… View Post
Want to make custom designs with your kids artwork? I was recently contacted by Sticker You about trying some of their products. After cruising through their website, I decided it would be fun to try their iron on transfers. I wasn’t sure what this would entail, but I got super excited when I realized I could upload my son’s artwork…. View Post

Did you take part in the #100DayProject this year? The days were April 3rd through July 11th. I had a blast creating block prints and then sewing them into pouches. My husband asked me to design a print with this shape. Here are images of the finished product. While I don’t love the color green, I do love how the print turned… View Post
I have been playing around with block printing and having lots of fun. With block printing – the design can be concise and perfect or flawed and organic. For me, it has been a transformative experience to allow my block print designs to be messy and imperfect. Paperless Post recently approached me to work with their platform and write about… View Post
