I’ve been working on my new Liberty bags nonstop. I find that when I work on a large batch of bags continually, its easy to lose steam. So I switched up my very hectic sewing schedule for the week, and made Layla another Paper Fan Dress. Talk about a quick and easy pattern! Its just...
This is such an exciting time of year. It’s my favorite actually. I love the cooler, drier weather. I love being able to break out all five of my long sleeve shirts and drink hot chocolate with a candy cane. I love having a tree put up in my house. And I absolutely love getting...
It’s been a busy week between my part time job and crafting. I haven’t been blogging about personal crafting as much as I would like, so today I’m going to play catch up and show you several of the things I’ve made lately, and then I’ll go over some Holiday Craft Bash stuff. First off,...

I just found your blog through your Tree Skirt tutorial and I am so happy and inspired.

Well done; really love the family reunion blouse. I have that pattern for older sizes, and it’s great to know that embarking on it won’t involve too much angst.
