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
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
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
It's practically October and we're still mostly experiencing summer temps in the Lone Star State. We've had several breezy days throughout the month, but unfortunately, the spread of all that pollen also wreaked havoc on my immune system and caused my eczema to flare up. Autoimmune disorders are the worst, y'all! As a result, I … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Phoenix Blouse

Let's talk about the free underwear … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Lingerie
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
I can't believe we're almost halfway through May, y'all! I am excited about this month's SewMyStyle theme! I'm sewing the Sedona Shirt Dress by Designer Stitch, and I'm looking forward to sewing another new to me designer.

I've enjoyed seeing all the cardigans this past month on Instagram and in the Facebook group! I love seeing people modifying the pattern and making it their own!
