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 thingsĀ (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
Simplicity Jersey Tee Dress
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

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
AGF Summer Basics
The cooler temps have stuck around a tad longer than usual this spring, and I am loving it! Although, that also means I haven't worn my spring makes very much either. I've honestly never considered a wrap skirt for myself in the past, but after a few students requested a wrap skirt class, I began … Continue reading AGF Summer Basics
Slouchy Sweater Dress
The temps have finally dropped in Dallas, so I'm ecstatic that I can finally wear this Simplicity 2054 dress I made over the summer. I bought this jacquard sweater knit at Joann, and I knew I wanted to make a slouchy sweater dress. I made View A, but omitted the cowl collar. The relaxed fit … Continue reading Slouchy Sweater Dress
Cotton Labyrinth Shirt Dress
After making my flannel buffalo plaid shirt dress this past winter, I wanted to make another one that I could wear throughout the year when the weather is nicer. I initially purchased a few yards of chambray from a local shop, but I couldn't resist using this Anna Maria Horner Labyrinth fabric from her Fibs … Continue reading Cotton Labyrinth Shirt 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
