Chronic Fatigue Awareness day is just a week away! Because this illness is something that affects me so drastically, I want to devote this blog to awareness posts for the week. (if you're thinking, wait! I thought you had POTS, check out this page) If they bug you, I’m sorry. You are totally welcome to ignore them and I promise they will stop in one week and I’ll be back to sewing and crafting ... View Post
Friday Faves: Seam Rippers
Lately I've been dreaming of new seam rippers. Not that I... ahem... use one all that often or anything... :) A couple years back I bought myself a pretty wooden handled Clover one which I love. My problem is that I tend to tear out seams while I sit and chat, or watch a show, which means my good seam ripper is never in my sewing room (or...anywhere that can be easily found...) when I need it ...

My tester used one of those big bath sponges that she kind of carved into the shape of a penguin- which is great for a penguin with a nice, simple ... View Post
Introducing the Rockin’ Rocket Ship Pattern

I wanted to create a pattern that was cute to look at (I mean, if a bunch of toys are going to be strewn out on your floor, they might as well ... View Post
Free Sewing Worksheets for Beginners
I've recently been talking to quite a few people who are learning to sew. Most adults I've talked to are intimidated to start simply because they're worried they're not good enough to make a real project. I've guided them to some great beginner projects, but the fear remains. I can't blame them! It's frustrating to invest time and money into picking out a bunch of sewing material, only to get ...

Friday Faves: Sewing Apron
I don't know about you, but I constantly find myself in the middle of running an errand only to look down and realize I've been walking around town covered in thread and fabric scraps. Plus I have this habit of sticking pins in the fabric of my pant legs to keep them handy while I sew. Which works great... when I'm in my sewing room. But it's kind of a weird fashion statement when I forget ... View Post
