It feels like forever since I have been able to sew anything… And I am afraid to say I haven’t quite started back yet. I got some necessary mending done… but not much else. I am still organizing the sewing space. Mostly because it sort of became an all-purpose storage space when I moved home … More How Do You Organize Your Burda Stash?
I feel like I haven’t been on the internet in forever… Between having the best New Year’s Eve ever (it was just a chill party with some friends, but definitely one of the best all-nighters I have had in quite some time), fitting in skating practice around the holidays, and trying to get my living … More Awesome Blogger Meet Up
I have been quite stressed the past few months what with finishing up school things. Which will be coming to a close (with a little bit of luck) this week. As a celebration for finishing my paper (I hope) I am doing a little blogging. I haven’t had any time to sew. But apparently stress … More November Fabric Splurges

Ok, so I recently bought a bunch of older Patrones magazines from Ebay. Turns out that they are mostly from the early 2000’s, but that is ok with me – I thought they were a great price, even though some of the pages had marking and scuffs. The pattern sheets were included, and we all … More Inside Patrones
Ok, so I really was trying to be good and not buy more fabric… But you know how it is when you have been looking for a very specific fabric for a really long time, and then you finally find it? And then you start to look for all the coordinating fabrics for that project … More Recent Sewing Acquisitions
Ok, here is the final garment in my whirlwind of selfish unplanned sewing. I really wasn’t thinking or planning to make this top out of these fabrics, but after cleaning up the scraps of my fun striped knit, I thought this pattern would be a great way to use the extra random scraps and some … More Pattern Review: BS-09-2012-123A
I was so excited by my first attempt at Simplicity 2369 that I decided to go ahead and make another one right away. And, since I really like the results, both of these garments are going to satisfy requirements for my year-long sewing challenge. In my first go-round I made the tunic top, view C. … More Another Simplicity 2369
You guys – I sewed! A skirt! That was part of my year-long sewing challenge! For those of you keeping track my goal was to make one item a month (at least), so right now I am half a month behind (since I have one “item” – actually a top/bottom combo outfit – half done). … More Pattern Review: BWOF-02-2005-128
