You know when you meet people who just amaze the crap out of you?!?! I have met a few of them lately. One of them designed her very first PDF pattern and has just knocked my socks off with her talent, her grace, and her determination. Have you met Jennifer? She’s the beautiful, kind Mama […]

  During testing for the Chelsea Pants, I fell in love with the classic and sassy look, the slight bell…just perfection. So when the blog tour was announced, I knew I wanted to do something super fun for my turn. I searched and searched for just the right thing and when I came upon some […]

Way back in yesteryear when I was just a girl of 12, I walked in to Wet Seal during back-to-school shopping searching for a pair of black bell-bottom pants that would actually fit me. I knew it was an impossible mission. I walked out that day and went home to safety-pin my 8-inches too long […]

One of my favorite things about this adventure in sewing is getting to try new things I would normally NEVER wear…..and finding out I LOVE them! I love Maxi dresses, and even maxi skirts, but I had never made one in woven. Enter Rebecca Page and her FABULOUS Arabella Skirt! This woven skirt sits at […]
