Sewing and Such
I know! I'm back so soon 😉 It's for good reason...there's a new pants pattern out for knits that's so comfortable and flattering, not to mention versatile, that I had to share it. It's actually my favorite new pants pattern (I've made three already!). Yes, I do gush every time Tie Dye Diva releases a …

I have been sewing a lot for myself lately, and I'm basking in it. I love summer, and I need clothes that I love wearing in summer! Sun dresses, shorts, tank tops, light and airy blouses, swimsuits, you name it, I need it. My warm weather wardrobe needs an overhaul, badly. Well, this summer dress …
