I made it to the second round of the sewing bee! This challenge was somewhat unexpected, but really interesting an inspiring – repurposing denim! We had to use denim from existing garments to make one new garment and one new accessory for the challenge. My mother gave me some old hole-y jeans to use, and … More Pattern Review Sewing Bee Round 2: Repurposing Denim
Well, I started this year off with grand plans…. And I’m pretty sure my blog followers know that they’ve pretty much fizzled out due to the crazy busy year I’ve had in all other aspects of my life. But, does that mean this challenge was a total bust? I don’t think so. I mean, sure, … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge Wrap Up and Looking Forward

Firstly, I have to give a shout out to Gillian of Crafting a Rainbow, who inspired me to start participating in the Sewing Top 5 last year.

November has been one of those months that has flown by entirely too fast. In my recent post about life events, I sort of delved into how crazy things have been, but this month feels like the crazy has been dialed up quite a bit. I’ve been able to sew a bit, though not as … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – November Round Up

Why? Well, pie charts. I mean, obviously. But also because looking … More New Life New Wardrobe? (Sew Your Kibbe Challenge Update and Wardrobe Planning Post #14)
October has been a crazy month – it’s flown by! And, I actually sewed! I was able to post a McCall’s top that was mostly worked on last month, as well as working on my forever UFO, the teal Burda trench coat. I started this project in 2016, and only just got around to working … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – October Round Up

It’s not enough to be close to a finished garment yet, but it’s something. I’m still trying to figure out how … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – September Round Up
August has flown by and it has been a really interesting month for me. I wrote earlier in the year that this fall would be a time of transitions, and this seems very much to be the case. I’m still recovering a bit from the intensities of traveling this summer (I was gone for 5 … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – August Round Up
Like June, July was obviously not a great month for me as far as Sew Your Kibbe progress went. I was home for about 3 days of the month, and of those I spent about half my time sleeping and the other half doing work related things. I’ll go more into my July adventures in … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – Semi Late July Round Up
