Well this has been a long time coming… I finally made another No Pattern Sewing Tutorial. Weee! You can see my first one here: Boxy Top. If you’ve seen that one and you’re ready to move onto a dress, you can watch the latest video here: Boxy Dress. And let me mention that any and…
Paul and I were lucky enough to escape for a night and celebrate one of my favorite girls turning 40! I think I’ve mentioned before that this has been a big year for travel because we have so many friends hitting milestone birthdays — and I just can’t be mad about it. We spent most…
This past week, I participated in #aweekwithnopants challenge. It had a clever name and set out to encourage people to wear dresses and skirts for a week. The challenge was hosted by @uncomplicatedspaces, @marmag.creation, @akwearsthings, @alissa_etc, and @petraalexandra. I’ll admit, I am not a dress person, so I thought it might be a fun way…

Sometimes I miss sharing about those things, but most of the time I just post to Instagram now. It’s so much faster and gives me all the fulfillment that…
Sewing has brought me a great deal of comfort these past couple weeks. I have been a big ol’ ball of nerves leading up to Stevie’s heart procedure tomorrow. And sewing has given me something methodical and time consuming to focus on so that my brain can steer clear of the dark and scary thoughts…
January was several years long, and now all of a sudden it’s March!The other night as I dozed off, I dropped my phone right on my face. Paul thought it was much more funny than I did.I’m doing a “real model” shoot tomorrow for The Garment and I’m really excited but also really freaking out.…
I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I tried my hand at sewing for the first time. It has been such a great learning experience, to use my brain in a new way. But to be honest, it does feel like any progress I should be making is slow. I haven’t mastered zippers…
You already know I went on a girls’ trip for my 40th birthday, but you don’t know what I packed in my carry-on. As always, I waited until the last minute to get my packing done, and let the anxiety build up high and tight before the outfits just came to me. Once they finally…
