Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
Hey Everyone! Today I'm sharing a quick and easy make that is also my summer go-to top. I used the NewLook 6511 pattern to create a sleeveless top with a ruffled hem. Texan summers are no joke and for once I wanted to make something sleeveless that won't have me feeling sticky and icky when…
Today I am finally sharing on my blog one of my biggest accomplishments of 2019. I joined the Minerva Maker Team! Now what is a Minerva Maker? Minerva is an online fabric company (they also sell other crafts supplies) based in the UK and last summer they reached out to me to collaborate and become…

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).

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.

On November 10th, 2018, I had the honor and privilege of marrying the love my life and Chief AGAIN!
