Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
Hey everyone! This week flew by so quick but I'm glad that I can at least snag a moment to gush about this super cute top I made for my Yellow & Green collection. My absolute first piece! Although I've taken my sweet time to share it on the blog, I've worn this shirt out…

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…

There was this beautiful, lightweight, linen-esque fabric that I bought from Jo-Ann’s awhile back that I wanted to use for a cute ruffled top. At first, I wanted this shirt to have ruffles all over, but unfortunately my 2 yards of fabric didn’t want me to be great so I opted for a plan…
With the New Year just a few days away, I had a goal to squeeze in just one more sewing project to give me that added boost to take over the sewing game in 2018. After scouring through my saved pins on Pinterest I came across this gorgeous dress that was unique, classy and fun.…

It occurred to me recently that I don't have many casual tops and I kind of rotate the same ones around. I had this idea to make a split back top with this material I had for ages that needed to be put to great use. Creating this shirt was easier than I presumed and…

I want to start creating patterns to use for future projects as well as get in the habit of practicing on cheaper material before I attempt anything on the actual fabric I want to use. I bought about ten yards of a cheap muslin some weeks back at Jo-Ann's to assist me in this effort.…
So after making my yellow off the shoulder top and having much success, I admit to getting a bit big headed to the point where I oversimplified other sewing projects I have yet to try. I appreciate the confidence that the project gave me but it was too much and I needed some humbling and…

Earlier this week, I was excited to properly break in my machine and wanted to create this off the shoulder top with my yellow cotton material I shared in my previous post. This off the shoulder trend is something I have been adoring this summer season and in need of in my closet.
