Happy May, y'all! Wow, has it really been three months since my last post?! Despite the silence on the blog, I've been busy sewing all the things (including face masks) the past few months. By the time the shelter in place took effect in Dallas in mid-March, I had already shipped several dozen face masks to … Continue reading Cynthia Rowley Cold Shoulder Shift Dress

Christmas Simplicity
Can you believe it's officially a new year? Where does time go? The second half of 2019 brought a few life changes with homeschool, autoimmune issues, and a new part-time job for a small marketing start-up. As we venture into 2020, I think I'm finally finding my "groove." When Vicki (of Minerva Crafts) approached me … Continue reading Christmas Simplicity
Spotted Around Town
If you're local, there's a high possibility you have seen me wearing my new leopard cowl sweater. It's a great loose fitting top that will look great layered and on its own. I also love that I can wear it in the middle of an autoimmune flare-up (currently) and after! I found this french terry … Continue reading Spotted Around Town
Sew My Style 2019: Sedona Shirt Dress
Can you believe we're already in June?!! Between a broken ankle, project deadlines, and a full class schedule, I barely finished my Sedona last month! I love a good button-up, so I was excited to sew another shirt dress for May's SewMyStyle prompt. Since I had already sewn a few Blank Slate Patterns, I wanted … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Sedona Shirt Dress
LBG Tropical Lexie Bag
It's been awhile since I've made a purse, and I was thrilled to be able to test the newest pattern for Vanessa of LBG Studio. I've made a couple of her patterns (LBG Blend London Backpack and Summer Stripes Clutch) in the past, so I knew this would be another great pattern! I had originally planned on making … Continue reading LBG Tropical Lexie Bag
V9112 Bouffant Ladies
I've always loved the look of Marcy (and Katherine) Tilton patterns. I know they aren't for everyone, but I love her aesthetic. When I see a picture of her designs, I instantly know it's a Tilton! I purchased V9112 years ago when it was released, but couldn't decide on a fabric choice until I stumbled on … Continue reading V9112 Bouffant Ladies
Sweet Nest Baby Quilt
I am having baby fever, y'all! I have a couple of friends who have newborns, and although I don't miss the diaper changes and odd sleep hours, I do love the sweet smiles, giggles, and daily discoveries! When Beverly, of Flamingo Toes, sent me the pattern for her latest quilt pattern, I couldn't resist turning … Continue reading Sweet Nest Baby Quilt

Neco Drop Skirt
Have you been following along with Sew My Style on Instagram and Facebook? I want to participate more, but most of the patterns aren't something I would wear often or I already own a similar commercial pattern. (I am excited to get started on my True Bias Landers this month, though! I know, I'm a month … Continue reading Neco Drop Skirt
Simplicity Tea Dress
I was at Hallmark earlier this month for a pop-up shop event, and one of the girls that works there remarked on May being the busiest month of the year. Y'all, she was right! Besides Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day celebrations, we have been invited to birthdays, graduations, and various other events throughout the … Continue reading Simplicity Tea Dress
