So, in my original plans for my year-long Sew Geeky challenge, I wasn’t going to start my spring sewing until February 21. However, since I’ve been sick the past week, I spent a lot of time playing around with sewing plans for my year long challenge: creating mood boards on Pinterest, choosing colors, and picking … More Spring Sew Geeky Plans and Jumping into a Contest!
I haven’t been blogging my book reviews as much as in the past; my blogging time is somewhat more limited and I find myself preferring to focus on sewing when I do have time to sit down and write. However, books are still an important part of my life and I think it is good … More Reading Round Up 2017
I am going to preemptively warn you to grab some tea and cookies because this post is promising to be quite long.

However, it is … More Reading Round Up 2016
So after my last post, I’ve not started any of the actual work like messing around with my real clothes. I have done a lot more planning work, like starting along on the Wardrobe Architect series. Despite whatever else might be going on in the blog-o-sphere, I’m going to give a thumbs up to this process … More Defining a Core Style (Wardrobe Planning Post #2)
It has been a few months since I was at the Roller Skating National Championships this past summer, but there were a few awesome places I got to visit that were too good to not post about. This was my first year in Lincoln as a non-competitor, so I had more time than normal to … More Tales from the Road: Nebraska Quilt Study Center and Textile Gallery
You guys, I made a dress! For me! And I’m going to blog about it! Shocker! I completed this dress mid-July, but it has taken me a few weeks to find the time to do the write-up. This dress was a bit spur of the moment – I made a joke to my sister that … More Pattern Review: Vogue 9149
