My first Chevron project was some new zip pouches – I inherited a duffle bag full of knitting needs (yay!) from a good friend and these zip pouches are the best way I’ve found to organize them. I needed a new one for my circulars, and I thought the pink Chevron would be perfect. Also [...]
It’s fabric like this that is straight fuel to my fabric fire…the new Chevron from Riley Blake is so perfect, you really have to have some of every color (and there are 10 of them). Or maybe it’s just me… This is what I’ll be working on waaay past my bedtime for the next week [...]
Pin It Wreaths did not used to appeal to me AT ALL. But look how cute this is! I have seen some seriously cute wreaths out there lately and I’m totally jumping on the bandwagon. For my very first wreath, I did a fabric wrapped foam ball variation that is a little expensive to make, [...]
Pin It I’m going to start a new Sew-Along series, beginning with this 1-hour skirt! It’s going to go like this: I’m going to choose a pattern (or take reader suggestions!) and I’m going to make up the pattern taking tons of pictures so you can make the item along with me! Sewing from patterns [...]
Pin It I know I’ve posted about making toddler ties before, but I just made another 10 for my boys and had to post again! They are so fast, probably about 20 minutes to make one, start to finish. Pin It I used some Michael Miller Ta Dot fabric to make these three new ones [...]

Pin It Linus was born at the very end of August and so he has been pretty newbornish this whole winter. Keeping him warm and bundled when we go out is obviously important, but putting him in the car seat that way is a nightmare. I made him a little fleece poncho so he could [...]
Pin It This isn’t Landon…it’s Gus wearing Landon’s towel, and isn’t he a silly goose. My boys each have their own hooded towel and they’re great. So easy to make and they hang on the hangers sooo much easier with a hood. EVERY kid needs a hooded towel, that’s all I’m saying, and here’s what [...]
Pin It Are you a cardigan girl? I TOTALLY am. This tutorial on Pinterest inspired me and I promise you that soon I will have more cardigans than is healthy for a girl. Here’s what you need to transform your tired sweater into a fresh new cardigan: sweater tailor’s chalk or other fabric marking tool [...]
Pin It I saw this idea on Pinterest and loved it. I had a wall just aching for this project… Cut out a zillion leaf shapes with lots of different smallish printed papers. I used blues/greens/browns because that’s my color comfort zone. Monochromatic papers work best I think. I used the Don Juan Cricut cartridge [...]
