Stitching Vinyl without a Non-Stick Foot
On Monday I told you I would post how I stitched over the vinyl on my Toddler Backpack super easily. And the secret is... I used this scrap-booking washi-esque tape that I found at a local dollar store. It has a waxy, smooth surface on the papery tape and is not too...
Project Run and Play – Week 2 – Candy Inspired: Nerds Zip-up Hoodie
I have to say, this Project Run and Play challenge was harder than I thought it would be. Making something candy-inspired that can still be worn on a regular basis is tricky! Thankfully my husband kept asking me to make his idea, (he came home with some inspirational...
Made by Me Monday – Made by Rae Toddler Backpack {+ add-a-pocket tutorial & pattern pieces}
So I'm sure you all have heard of this blog called Made by Rae (ha!), who hasn't! And also, Rae's Toddler Backpack pattern?! How boring of me to post something so common you say? True maybe, but I have a few ideas to share and a flapped pocket tutorial & pattern...
Project Run and Play – Week 1 – Popover Sundress Remix
I have decided to play along with the sew along portion of Project Run and Play this season. I have seen it before - but haven't ever followed it. I think I'm addicted and it's only the first week! I really like their format. You have 4 weeks with a theme for each...
Made by Me Monday – Exposed Zipper Banyan Tunic

First Day of “Real” School
I supposed that it would happen eventually, but I was NOT ready for my oldest to be in school "all day" yet! But it happened, and now our lunch table holds one less set of cutlery - which I found myself tearfully removing today. We are so used to all being home, all...
Happy Mail Day!
I was super excited to get some of the Geekly Chic line in the mail today from Double Decker Fabrics! And she included another one of her amazing note cards with it! I'm loving these prints! I think first off I'm going to make another Sunny Glasses Case with the...
Made by Me Monday – Vintage Fabric Dress
Sometimes I troll thrift stores looking for fabric. They can be a great source for vintage fabric, if you know what you are looking for. This dress was made with one of my finds. I think it might have cost me $3.00, and it is in great shape! So far the research I have...
I Love Needlework!
This post is for Ellie in Toronto! It is one of the "you asked for it" posts from my Blogiversary giveaway. I asked everyone to give me ideas of things they would like to see on the blog, and Ellie asked for more brick and mortar fabric store reviews. So, here we go...
