First a Little Story… The year before my youngest daughter started kindergarten, we decided to take on the “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” Challenge. We didn’t officially signup or anything like that, but we took it on as a personal goal. I set a few loose rules to aim towards. First, I wanted to track it on paper. Second, I didn’t… View Post

Our dining table has had a set of 4 chairs for many years and countless times I’ve had to improvise with adding seating for guests.

I will add this fitting tip though:… View Post

My signature floral dress, but make it cozy for fa My signature floral dress, but make it cozy for fall. 🍂 This brushed jersey fabric is so soft. The gray heathered background is reminiscent of a classic sweatshirt. This is the second time I've sewn this pattern. The first was green stretch velvet and I love it, but it's so formal looking that it isn't practical to wear often. This version will repeat all the time! This pattern comes together quickly, so I'll definitely make it again sometime.

From ⚪ to 🔵 thread! It seems like such a chor From ⚪ to 🔵 thread! It seems like such a chore to switch serger threads, but it isn't so bad. If we personify the machine we can view it like she's going to a salon for a trim and style. Don't forget to vacuum away the lint. Now a new project awaits and she's fresh and ready! 🧵 *Tip: Use tweezers when threading. It makes the process so much easier in the tight spots.
