Taking life one cup at a time…
Today’s post was going to be titled “Versatile Skirt/Dress Made from Sew Cheeky Fabric’s Retro Doodle knit” or something to that effect. I sewed up this great dress that can also be worn as a knee-length skirt or midi-length skirt depending on my mood. I did it without using a pattern – go me! And wahoo …
Recently, I had the opportunity to test out Little Kiwi’s Closet Bow Back Beauty. I was assigned to make 2 bodysuit options in the 6-12 month size. I chose a smaller size, because Little Miss is tiny! She’s such a peanut. I figured, based upon the measurements that it would fit better than the twelve month …
Recently, I had the opportunity to test for Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop. I’ve wanted to do a swimsuit for a while, and I have a collection of swim fabrics built up, but I was nervous since swim fabric can be a challenge. When I was offered the chance to test a swimsuit, I jumped at it. …
Oh boy have I been wanting to share this with you. I recently was able to taste-test two of Volcanica Coffee’s blends. If you haven’t tried this company, you should. They are quite good.

As promised, here are the pictures of the Bella Sunshine Design Bow Tie Leggings with their bows. This is probably the least you’ll ever see me write in a post. The link to purchase the pattern will be at the end, that way you don’t have to scroll back up to find it. For now, …
Brace yourself for too much cute. Seriously. I pattern tested for new designer Bella Sunshine Desings recently. She has these great ideas, by the time I finished sewing 7 (yes 7) pairs of leggings, I had them down to a science. The bow tie leggings are easy to sew, and they are a really nice …
You’re in luck, because today I have two new patterns to introduce you to. The first is the “Layer Me Up Tee” by Patterns for Pirates. It was my first time pattern testing for Judy Hale, and I’m really excited about the two shirts I made during the test. I have plans for 3 more. …
Three Anthologies to Support Three Great Causes Publication Date: October 4, 2013 Genre: Paranormal Romance Charity: Exotic Feline Rescue Center What is it about the tiger that so captivates? Or about the jaguar that enchants? Why are we so drawn to the lethal grace of the large feline …
So, Butterick announced the release of their 2015 spring pattern collection on Monday evening. It’s…mixed. I think the biggest problem I have with it is that they used some of the dowdiest fabrics to showcase what might otherwise be a good collection. I found myself looking at the line drawings to really figure out what …
