Every time I am in a Goodwill, no matter which city I am in, I always run the the department where there is wall art. What I am really hunting for is cast off needle point or counted cross stitch. Crewel work is an exciting find as well. In doing so I have come across many treasures. I have turned a wall in my TV room into old frames and

I don’t know about you but I love to make things for new moms. I have developed a pattern for a diaper dock that doesn’t require a ton of product. But that I mean that there’s not a ton of different stabilizers and interfacings involved. One thing I have noticed is that when I have those types of patterns in the shop, customers look at them and go “yeah, well,

This is the first time I have done a zoom umbrella class. I have done zoom classes before. Honestly, it’s not my favorite way to conduct a class. Pros: Cons: I think that the cons outweigh the pros but there are some very good points to be made. Either way, I will be offering classes in both forms. So what did we make? Umbrellas! Here is a photo of my

This is a fun little quilt that can be as large or as small as desired. If it’s too large, it may become a bit unwieldy. But, if you’re an experienced sewist, you can do this.

How’d you like to learn how to make this vest? Well, guess what? I am going to do a zoom class for this vest so that you can do this in the privacy of your own home! This vest is not difficult but there are definitely some things that kind of require some in person type finesse. By in person I mean communication with an experienced sewist. You will learn

I remember those days. I am trying to forget, actually. I loved having my babies but I love them as adults even more. I remember the days of waking up in the middle of the night in a puddle of breast milk. Sure, I had nursing pads stuffed into my bra (because you couldn’t go to bed without a bra). But the nursing pads I had were the cheap paper-ish

This is something that is NOT new. We have been sewing quilted jackets since the 80s. Remember? Yeah, those of us that have been sewing for all these years and started sewing in the womb would have already been there, done that. But, what is old is new again right? I found this quilted vest pattern from Purl Soho. It’s one of my favorite shops in NYC. They have awesome

I am so thrilled with how this turned out. Granted, it’s not something for beginners. This is a whole cloth quilt. I used Shannon Fabrics Silky Satin in Ivory on one side.
