I finally made my first ever baby quilt (for my baby! what?!)! Quilts aren’t my usual choice when it comes to sewing, but I wanted to make him something special, even if he’s got like a zillion blankets from everyone now (AMAZING ones, made by family members).

If you follow Riva La Diva, she always uses it, so I knew it had to be a great basic dress pattern. The pattern is very basic and doesn’t … Continue reading “DIY Swing Dress”
Having all of my fabric and sewing supplies in boxes really makes me go through withdraws. I haven’t made something in so long. I cannot wait until Saturday when we move and I can finally unpack it all! I’m finishing up some graphic design projects, and then I am 100% sewing all the things. I went a little crazy last … Continue reading “Fall Sewing Inspiration”

Fabric: Jersey Knit from JoAnn’s Pattern: Hey June, Union St. Tee I decided on Friday that I was pretty much fed up with doing school work and job work and that I was going to take the afternoon for some ‘me-time’ and finally sew something (I was having withdrawals).

I think that I’ve officially become a pillowcase hoarder collector now. I’m cool with it, though – if it means my couch can always be this cute.
