Just a quick blog post to show I have sewn a few things. I just haven’t gotten them posted on my blog! Here is another top made from a pattern I drafted a few years ago from a RTW top I loved. It is nice to have a few staple patterns that you can pull […]
This print is from a pre-order that opens today, where some of the prints are centered around Kubo. It is a great movie, so I would definitely recommend seeing it.

I joined a new group on Facebook dedicated to bringing monthly blog tour related to sewing for boys. Such a great idea! Boy sewing is something that does not get a lot of exposure. This is my stop on the Sewing Blue Blog Tour. See the links at the end of the post for the […]
Not only a great quote from the books, but a great outlook on life! This top, along with the skirt, are basically what I like to sew. They have a bit of a steampunk flair to them, which is just so fun to wear. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may […]

I haven’t made too many button down shirts for my boys, so I signed up for this pattern test at Wardrobe by Me. I have made A LOT of button down shirts, so this is not something that is a new skill for me. Growing up competing in rodeo, we had to wear button down […]
In getting our new wood-looking vinyl floors, I decided to repaint the dining room. It previously was a nice deep blue you see here in this older photo: It was originally painted by the previous owners of the house, so it was pretty much the only room I had not painted before. That color, along […]
Well, she’s all ready for the next shark week! The girl loves sharks, and also did a project for one of her classes on ocean pollution. It was an eye-opening experience for her on what us humans do to our ecology. She is very interested in animals, and plans to become a veterinarian. We’ll see […]
I never really know how the girl will go when it comes to dresses. Sometimes she loves them and sometimes she is more, “meh…”, and it goes to the back of her closet. I showed her this pattern, and she said she would wear it. I think the pockets sold her on it. Pockets are […]
