It's been quite some time since I've been able to participate in a pattern test. With my responsibilities for work, family and motherhood, it's been a challenge to commit to tight pattern testing deadlines of 2-3 weeks. Depending on the construction and skill level required of the pattern, 2-3 weeks can go by so fast…
This project was a long time coming....and when I say long, I mean looonnnggg. After having my son in January 2021, two of my sisters came to visit me and of course meet their new baby nephew. One of my sisters showed me a black mesh duster she saw online (I think on Pinterest). The…

Let me introduce you all to this silent gem of a dress. I refer to it as "silent" because although this pattern seemed to make great impressions when Simplicity previewed it, I haven't seen many people make this pattern (especially in this view). Something I love to do before making a pattern or sometimes before…
On April 13th, 2019 (just two days before my birthday) I completed my 100 days of sewing challenge. I honestly could not believe that that it had come to an end or that I even made it that far. That challenge was no joke! I never sewed for that many days straight so I honestly…
One of my favorite things about sewing is being able to stare at a ready-to-wear piece and analyze it to see what sort of pattern pieces make up the garment. An added bonus is when you already own a pattern similar to the RTW garment that only needs little to no adjustments to achieve the…

After my long awaited debut of my final pieces for this collection, I wanted to recap the highs and lows of this venture and if this is something I would want to do again in the future. In my previous post where I introduced the idea of starting a collection, I talked about what inspired…

It's recommended when sewing to have what they call "palette cleansers" in between projects. Palette cleansers are another name for those simple projects that are quite effortless to put together to ease your mind before approaching a more complicated sewing project or to simply get your sew-jo (sewing mojo) back. I was in need of…
