Simple Springtime Skirt Pattern {Free in 3 sizes!}
Hey there, it's finally getting warmer outside! We've been listening to the birds (with the windows open!), walking to school and searching out our local convenience store for slushies. Ahhh.... feels good! To celebrate, I've teamed up with A Material Girl, a Canadian...
I sewed a Boronia Bowler
And what is that you ask? It's another purse... (insert down-looking bright-cheeked emoji here, lol) Yup - of course, I needed another one after my long-wearing Chobe was finally looking a bit worse for wear. Wanting, of course, to try something new I landed on the...
Visibly Mend and Embellish your Ripped Jeans
Last September I thought I'd up my jeans game. I have a pair that was getting very ripped and torn. Though I love this style, I don't love that my pasty-white (and honestly, under-moisturized, #sorrynotsorrry) skin shows through so much. Move forward about seven...
Road Trip Quilt
Growing up, my family did a lot of tent camping. Every year we'd drive to our favorite spot for a week or two. As I got older we would book the same park and the exact same campsite. So many amazing memories were built during those summer trips! Kelly Panacci (a...
Glenda Convertible Clutch (+ I’m hooked)
You know when you want to start doing something - ie: sewing your own purses... but you are concerned that you will love it too much, and then it will become an obsession? And you won't be able to stop... and then you will need all the patterns. And all the materials....
Frozen Hoodies from Canada
I was thrilled a few years ago to find a fantastic sketchy knit with drawings of Disney Frozen's Anna and Elsa in my local Canadian online fabric shop, Funky Monkey Fabrics. "Frozen Fever" is still going strong in our house and the youngest, very blond child, has...
A Black and White bundle for Winter
Good 2018 to you! This new year brings in some extra-frigid weather and a curated black and white bundle for my sponsor Fabric Spark's Monthly Sparks fabric subscription. Combining some favorite white and cream backgrounds with great black accents was so rewarding. I...
Red and Green Undercover Maker Mat
I have a huge thanks to give out to my mom today. She loves to sew and that's how I got hooked - hooray! It also gives me a good excuse to make anything that happens to relate to sewing - since I can't possibly use them all myself, lol! This sewing machine mat is so...
Matching Shweshwe Wrap Skirts for the win!
I swore I would never create matching clothing for our family, but then I had an opportunity to do it - and the idea was too good to pass up. So, my oldest and I can now be twinsies with matching wrap skirts. And I love them! (And so does she.) Of course, you can make...
Teal and Red Annabelle Maxi Dress
Never in a million years would I have matched these fabrics. Teal and red were not on my radar, but I'm glad it happened, because every time I see this dress it makes me happy. My youngest chose the teal fabric from my sponsor Fabric Spark at the spring Creativ...
