I just finished sewing my skirt and I kind of love it. It took waaaaaay longer than I expected (natch) but I’m glad I took things slowly and took the time to un-do what didn’t look like it was working. I won’t bore you with all the details… well, maybe I will.

I went to JoAnn last night to pick up some cheap fabric I could use for a test skirt before I dive in and make one out of designer fabric, and I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted this fabric at the last minute (I was literally walking up to the cutting counter with a [...]

I’m 10 days late celebrating my own blogiversary, but that’s only because I’ve been busy working on something extra special to help celebrate.

I fiiiiiiinally sat down and sewed up my recycled sweater blanket this weekend!!!
You do not even know how happy this makes me – I’ve been trying to finish up several abandoned projects lately, and each time I finish one it just feels better and better.

After the the major upset of my beloved little New Year’s Day sock not fitting, I decided I needed a quick fix and knit up this quick little hat for my friend Bryan on Saturday night. Good thing, too, because it was about the ONLY productive thing I did on Saturday. (Besides take 2 naps.)
