Sewing and Such
I really didn't think I needed another raglan pattern for my girls, but this one is just different, right?! I really like knit top patterns that are unique and don't have that "homemade" look since my girl is getting pickier about what she wears. She's not embarrassed to wear handmade clothing, she is just becoming …
I really love a good knit pattern, and Sew Like My Mom is one of the best at drafting well fitting knit patterns. I'm so excited for her new Tulipa Dolman because it's great for mixing and matching knits. The Tulipa Dolman is a sporty dolman style top, tunic, and dress with two views, a …
Oh my goodness time flies! I've really enjoyed spending so much time with my family over the summer, and although I've been sewing, I haven't shared much on the blog. Let me tell you though, I've completed a lot of sewing projects that have piled up in my sewing room, and it's felt good to …
I totally missed sharing this the other day! I put together a fun and very simple tutorial turning the Daydreamer Dress into a ruffle neck top for Tie Dye Diva. It takes seriously less than an hour to make one of these, and they're great for refashioning men's button down shirts (my girl insisted on …
Today I'm sharing with you a fun little pattern release, and one of the versions is free!

Back when I made the Belted Shorts (sans belt), I noticed the Hazel Top pattern by Jilly Atlanta. I decided to put it off until next year and focus on fall and winter sewing, but of course she had to do that thing again where she offered it free if you shared it within a …

I do enjoy a good cowl. It breaks up the monotony of a t-shirt and makes a comfy top look professional enough to wear to work. It's also a quick project I can make when I'm feeling like I have nothing to wear to work that day! It all comes down to this lately for …
I enjoyed testing the Miss Ruby Tuesday dress by 1 Puddle Lane so much, I just had to test the Little Miss Ruby Tuesday too! Now we can all be all matchy matchy! I made these in October, but I finally get to share them 🙂 This pattern is a knit dress/top with many options, …
