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...
I love when I stumble across a great new pattern. I had the great luck of finding the Carolyn Pajamas on my explore tab on Instagram. Straight away, I knew I needed to make them. You don’t know this yet, but I recently had some great garment sewing success on little Hello Kitty. I had...
I was recently asked to be a part of the Traveling Threads Bee which is a small group of women who are mailing out blocks each month on a circuit. At the end of the year, the blocks and the additions made by the group will circle their way back to the original owners who...

she looks adorable!! you’re going to come out on top at the next competition!
