July has been such a busy month it’s hard to believe it’s over already! I haven’t had a lot of sewing time, but I did manage to get a bit of Cricut crafting in here and there. I’m really looking forward to having time to move on to more substantial projects soon though. Sewing Progress … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 July Wrap Up
I hadn’t planned on doing any extra blog posts this month because I’m super busy, but my July Burda came in the mail today (yes; I’m still subscribed… but a more detailed post and thoughts on that another day) and there was an interesting advertisement that caught my eye and I thought warranted a bit … More Burda Curvy English
I didn’t think I’d get a lot of sewing done this month, but somehow June became the month of mending. Which isn’t super exciting sewing, but it’s also not nothing, so I’m rolling with it. Sewing Progress I didn’t work on any fun/new projects, but I did finally tackle some important items in my mending … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 June Wrap Up
I can’t even believe May is wrapping up. I feel like it’s been a whirlwind month, even though it’s been relatively calm in terms of travel and scheduled events.

I sort of knew April was going to be a lost cause in terms of sewing, and it pretty much was. I did a few Cricut crafts as gifts, but not much else. Spring seems like it’s the busiest time for other things (work, side hustles, and volunteer efforts), so sewing takes a back seat. … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 April Wrap Up
The only sewing I’ve done this month has been fantasy sewing. I had an idea to maybe do the Pattern Review Wardrobe Sudoku contest, but, well, life. It’s all been crazy insane and I don’t think it will let up any time soon. Right now I’m honestly really looking forward to August…. Sewing Progress No … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 March Wrap Up

In an unexpected burst of energy I have completed my third bra! Over the holidays my sister and I did a pattern swap – we traced off and traded each other the sizes we needed so that we would both have a copy of the Ruby Bra and a copy of the Freja bra patterns. … More Adventures in Bra Sewing – Part 3: Trying the Freja Bra
Somehow after a very crafty December, January has resulted in almost no sewing, crafting, or other creative pursuits. It has been a busy month with travel and work, and we’ve also had a few unexpected issues pop up that have taken over a lot of my crafting time. I was able to get several update … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 January Wrap Up
During the course of our bra-making adventures, I often told my sister to “use a pattern weight” to help keep pattern pieces in place during cutting, to which she always replied “I don’t have any.” Now, of course, we all know anything can be used as a pattern weight, really. However, some of the pattern … More Holiday Gift Crafting: Pattern Weights
