I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break, due to sheer necessity. This blog in particular has been hard for me to keep up, since I’ve had less time to sew. But I dearly love you, sewing friends, and wanted to peek in and say hello!  Here are a few of the other places…

  When my friend Raeanna asked me if I’d sew a project for Romper Week, I thought this would be the perfect motivation to do some sewing projects for fun and experiment with simple clothing patterns. The project I chose, is about as simple as it gets! Click here to check out how I did…

Hello! I feel like I’ve fallen off the planet when it comes to regular sewing or blogging. I know we all go through phases, and life just happens sometimes. We took a week off around Memorial Day to spend with family and friends, which was SO refreshing that coming back to the daily grind has…

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that my life has been dominated lately by a cute little 4 month old. I’m happy to say that I’m figuring out this whole becoming a mom thing and am finding a reasonable amount of time to sew (or shower, or cook, or think) during Elliot’s nap…

I can’t believe I almost forgot about Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! Thank you to some of my Instagram friends for the reminder. 🙂 Today, I’m offering a giveaway of this handmade shopping tote bag I made from Pop Rox fabrics by Carol Van Zandt for Andover. The patchwork (on both sides) is a modified…

I have some fun news . . . my String Circles quilt from Modern Bee is featured on the cover of February’s Popular Patchwork magazine! The issue also includes the full quilt pattern. So you might see it on newsstands if you are located in the U.K. It’s been a true honor to read all…

Hello again! As I mentioned, I’m catching up this week on blogging about some patterns I wrote for publication. This winter, I had the chance to sew a fun and quick project for the Spring 2014 issue of Quilts and More magazine. My project is a neck pillow and travel shawl sewn with Cuddle from…

I’m going to spend some time over the next couple weeks updating the blog on some magazine projects I’ve had the privilege to create! Since there’s a new issue of Generation Q out now (featuring my friend Sara on the cover!), I figured it was about time to blog about the previous issue. Hah! Several…

Today, my friend RaeAnna is sharing all about a sweet gift she made for Elliot! It’s a bodysuit and pants set using the newborn line from Peek-a-Boo Patterns.    RaeAnna is participating in a pattern tour, and she asked if I could take some photos of this little guy modeling the outfit. But, of course!…

Today, I’m excited to share a project I created for the new book Kitchen Stitches, a sewing compilation of projects to make for everyone’s favorite room in the house.   I actually made three projects for this book, but I can only share one with you right now. The others may be featured in future…
