Hi guys! I feel like I've been half awake this past week; my kids have been sick (then I got sick), and in a rush I was also trying to finish up some outfits to wear to Quilt Market this weekend. I've been busy sewing things for a couple of booths for Market, so I asked myself 'do I...

I wasn't intentionally meaning to blog another book review so soon, but I was working on a project that happened to be out of a book, so I figured...what the heck. :) This is 'Sew Serendipity' by Kay Whitt of Serendipity Studio. This book is a couple of years old, and I can't believe that I...

Today, I'm pleased to introduce you to the Paparazzi Bag PDF sewing pattern (also available on paper!)! It is available now in my pattern shop! This bag was specifically created to be a camera bag, but of course would make a great purse! I've seen a lot of store-bought camera bags, but most of them are messenger-style with a flap....

I'd like to introduce you to the Locked and Loaded Bag sewing pattern, available as! This is a large bag that many of my pattern testers have deemed a confident-beginner bag (the lining zipper pocket is what possibly carries it over into the intermediate level). The pattern features templates needed to make the pattern, 12 pages of sewing...

I am really excited to introduce you to my third pattern, the Paper-pieced Sunrise Clutch! I have been on a real paper-piecing kick lately. Although the blocks take a bit more time than regular quilt piecing, the results are often amazing...paper-piecing provides sharp points and angles that you often could never get from regular piecing. The pattern includes the paper-piecing...

So, as my previous post mentioned, I needed something cool to wear to Quilt Market. I'm not sure you can get any more rockstar-ish than cutting up your own quilt (kind of like busting up your favorite guitar at the end of the show). But that's what I did.Here's the story.

Mermaids...did I catch your attention? Ha! I made the Zip Organizer from Rashida Coleman-Hale's Zakka Style book this past Friday. It wasn't originally in the plans, but I decided my current wallet needed to go...some raw edges had begun to pop out on the inside, and also I made it with black fusible interfacing (because my local Joann Fabrics was out of the...
