I never intended to go on such a lengthy hiatus, but here we are; it's 2022! It's been a whirlwind since becoming my mother's caregiver, continuing to homeschool, home renovations, and sewing all the things, but God is always good and faithful. I am so thankful for your prayers and support through all the transitions … Continue reading Hey There!
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
If you read my Phoenix Inspiration post earlier this month, you probably guessed that I would be adding ruffles to mine. I really love some of the design elements of this Free People top, so I thought I'd add some subtle ruffles to the yoke, omit the front slit, and add a button to the … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Phoenix Blouse Hack
We caught the last night of Monet: The Last Years at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth this weekend, and it was lovely! The weather was beautiful, and since I hadn't blogged this t-shirt dress, I had Jon snap a few photos while we were there. I've made a few versions of Simplicity 2054 … Continue reading Simplicity Jersey Tee Dress

With that being said, I've had a challenging time deciding on fabric and whether I should make some changes or sew per the pattern. There are so many great fabric options and ready-to-wear inspiration pieces, I thought I'd share some of my favorite … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019- Phoenix Blouse Inspiration
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. When I came across this Robert Kaufman linen (affiliate link), I knew it was perfect for recreating this Anthro … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Sedona Inspo
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! I've also enjoyed seeing how everyone is styling their cardigans! I made a few changes to my Blackwood, but the primary being I added a seam and … Continue reading SewMyStyle 2019- Blackwood Cardigan
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
