Good afternoon! I do hope all of my American friends had a wonderful and safe Independence Day! Ours was relatively quiet and very nice. Today I want to show you the extremely late birthday present I made for Emilee. She has been obsessed with horses since her entrance into the world, so the Mustang fabric...
Today I’m showing you the latest addition to Layla’s wardrobe, a tunic style tank made with some brand new Cotton + Steel fabric! Remember this top? Well its such a great style I decided to make another one, and I’m happy to say that Layla loves it. She’s a big time horse lover like her...
About a month and a half ago, I liked an Oliver + S post announcing the release of a new Lisette pattern, the Round Trip Dress. Very shortly after, my sister said she needed that dress that I ‘liked’. That thrilled me, because I knew what I’d be doing for Emilee’s birthday! Well its only...
Remember this bag? Well I thought it was utterly darling, and I wanted to make Layla one like it. After all, I am the one who ends up toting most of the stuff she absolutely has to take when we go places. And my bag is the one that fills up with her things. It was...

And it is pretty unbelievable that you were booted out of a contest where the prize is a machine that would get you “up to par.” So sorry, Meredith.
What a pretty dress! I was sorry to see that you’d been eliminated from the SOSM – I thought you did a great job on your blouse, especially given the Hello Kitty machine! It must have been difficult for the judges to eliminate anyone… I think it’s going to be a tough competition!
she looks adorable!! you’re going to come out on top at the next competition!
I’m so sorry you got eliminated from the challenge! I think it’s really weird that they would jump to the conclusion that your machine is not good enough. I’m not sure how they would even know what sort of machine you use. Best of luck! Love your blog!
