Alright, as promised, here is a post about all of my recent sewing related purchases from my trip to Fort Wayne. Except, well, a lot of my buying didn’t actually occur in Fort Wayne. Luckily, I had the opportunity to spend some time (and a lot of money) in Shipshewana, Indiana. For those who aren’t … More Amish Paradise
Whilest I am in the middle of a few long, intense projects, I thought I would share another one of my early projects, Simplicity 2410.

This was my first non-skating sewing project that I made this year, a simple knit top, Simplicity 3536. Simplicity 3536 I made view D, the sleeveless ruched shirt. The fabric was from a JoAnn’s 50% off red tag event, and the “buttons” (really sew on plastic jewels, but JoAnn applies button sale policy to them) … More Pattern Review: Simplicity 3536
One of my goals for this blog is to post about all of my sewing projects. Since I have only been sewing for a short time, I think it should be possible to post about the projects I made last year, as the quantity was far fewer than what I have been attempting this year. … More Pattern Review: Butterick 5295
So while I haven’t been posting or sewing much lately, I have been thinking about sewing and acquiring lots of new fun fabrics and patterns in the last half month. Firstly, Fashionista Fabrics had a huge sale of old Burda World of Fashion magazines. Sadly, they are all sold out now, and they currently only have June … More Confession Time: Accumulation of a Stash
