I got excited when I saw this mint AGF denim at Cabbage Rose recently and immediately purchased a few yards. Several of the quilters I follow on Instagram love sewing with it, so I was curious about how well it worked for garments. I find that sewing with any Art Gallery quilting cottons, my tension is … Continue reading Mint Arum

Summer Stripes Clutch
I rarely test patterns anymore, but when Vanessa from LBG Studio put out a tester call for her newest double zipper clutch, I couldn't resist. I love a quick and simple sew, and I needed a new summer clutch made with this Alexander Henry fabric. I made the medium clutch which required less than a … Continue reading Summer Stripes Clutch
Floral Linden Hack
Even though the temps are steadily rising, I am slowly entering fall/winter prep mode for my upcoming fall classes. The first pattern for consideration is the Linden from Grainline Studio. I love wearing over-sized sweaters in the cooler months, and I enjoy a simple pattern that is easy to hack. The Linden falls into both … Continue reading Floral Linden Hack

While organizing my closet a few months ago, I realized I need more summer basics in my wardrobe.

I picked up M7603 a … Continue reading Summer Button-Up Tank
McCall’s Mably Summer
I found this Brandon Mably fabric at Cabbage Rose Quilt Shop about a month ago, but I didn't have a project in mind, so I only purchased 1 ½ yards.

McCall’s Spring Florals

One of my favorite spring makes is this McCall's 7543 floral top. It was such a nice, simple sew, and it pairs well with most … Continue reading McCall’s Spring Florals

Are you loving the cold shoulder trend? I am seeing it everywhere! Admittedly, I was uncertain about the trend, but I was convinced after I made one as a sample for spring quilt market. I made my Lily Sage and Co Chloe Dress out of some fabric I had purchased from last year's Cotton + … Continue reading Lily Sage and Co Vacation Dress
Buffalo Plaid Shirt Dress
I bought Simplicity 8014 this past summer with the plan to make it in a chambray dot, but life happened, and I never made it. I came across it again when I was cleaning my sewing room and knew I had to make a flannel version for winter. I ordered a few yards of Robert … Continue reading Buffalo Plaid Shirt Dress
