Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
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…
Somebody please cue Boyz 2 Men because we have finally come to the end of the road with this collection. The final piece is complete and I couldn't be more in love. I completed this yellow top earlier in the year and just getting around to blogging about it (whoops!). I used Simplicity 8602 in…

Happy New Month To You All! Shame on me for not sharing this post since finishing this shirt for my husband a few weeks back but thankfully it is up now and I can't wait to dish on my first experience of working with a sewing pattern. Weeellll...kind of my first. I attempted to use…
Hey Loves! It has seriously been awhile but the creativity is still happening over at Create & Pray. I took a break from the sewing machine about a month and some change into 2018 (outside of giving my first sewing lessons ever to some good friends of mine) but got my creative juices back in…
