Taking life one cup at a time…
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. …
I love sewing for Baby Girl. She’s always plenty excited about what I make, and she’s easy to fit. So when I had the opportunity to pre-test and test again the circle skirt add-on for Sofilantjes Patterns Iridis Dress, I jumped at the chance. The dress is a quick sew – but be aware that …
A couple months ago, I had the honor of working with an amazing designer, Lisa at Paprika Patterns. You may know her as the pattern maker of the Jade skirt – that skirt we all pinned on our Pinterest boards (rumor has it, she’s extending the sizes of that soon, so those of us who …
Last night, I impatiently scrolled through the new releases in Vogue’s sewing pattern line. They are so much fun to look at when they get released. I find that I either love the designs or hate them, there’s very little in between for me. I have to say, as with McCall’s spring release (which I’ll …
Let me start off by saying that I LOVE this shirt. (Doesn’t it look like I love it? I’m sorry for the indoor pictures, but I figured that with all the rain and wind we’ve had, that it was indoor or nothin’). Okay, now that we have that out of the way. I received the …
Recently, I completed a pattern test for Bellamie Boo Couture’s Cecelia Color Block Pillow Case Dress and Top. The pattern was really simple, and required only one sheet of paper to be printed – you have to love that! The dress took less than an hour to make from start to finish. I did goof …
*I received a free pattern for the Lace Front Knit Top by Seamingly Smitten Sewing Patterns in exchange for providing a stop on the tour. All opinions are my own. I am lucky enough to be the first stop on the Seamingly Smitten Sewing Patterns Fall 2014 Pattern tour. I had a lot of fun …
Oh boy! I’ve finally had some time to start prepping patterns and gathering notions – and GASP! Start sewing. Here are some of the things I’m working on right now. In progress, I have an A-Line skirt. I originally was going to try to complete it for the Sewing Bee at Pattern Review, but I …
You knew it was coming. Well, maybe you didn’t, but you should have. I have to say, I’m a bit bummed out by the new releases. There are only five patterns out of the bunch that I think are worth grabbing (I bet Wining Husband will celebrate once he reads that line). I think I’ll start …
So, I meant to post this a couple weeks ago, then I got whatever it is that’s been going around here. Yuck. I’m finally catching up. What can I say? I’m a sucker for big projects, so when I fell across the 2014 Fall Essentials Sew Along, I thought “I should do that!” Because, …
