Hello! It has been forever since I made a post. I have been sewing, knitting and crocheting all winter though, so I am going to try and post what I've been up to. Yesterday I wanted to try a scrap busting project, but I wanted it to be something I'll actually use. After browsing Pinterest... Continue Reading →
This weekend I found a great sale on fabrics at Fabricville. I bought 3 huge bags of stuff 🙂 Some of what I bought was plaid flannel for more infinity scarves with hidden pockets. I made them pretty much the same as the ones I had made before, but because the fabric is much heavier... Continue Reading →
I've been wanting to make jeans for a while now, but it has taken me a while to get started on them. First, I wanted to draft a pattern but it looked very complicated, so I decided to buy a pattern from Jalie, the same people I bought my running tights pattern from. That was... Continue Reading →
Last week I've been super busy making hoodies. I made three, one for myself and two to sell at craft fairs. The only problem is I've made the pattern myself and I have no idea how to upload it. When I figure it out I'll post it for free. I looked everywhere for a free... Continue Reading →
Today I made this long sleeve shirt. It is size small but I made it from a super stretchy knit fabric so it can fit medium or probably even large. I found the free pattern at Nap Time Creations. I think I'm going to make a bunch of these. I printed the pattern, taped the... Continue Reading →

Today after work I made my own running tights. They took three hours to make, maybe a new record for me. I had bought a pattern last year and this is my second time using it. I made an awesome pair before but spilled red wine on them. In the past I tried... Continue Reading →
Another snow day! That's two in a row and gives me lots of time for trying new projects. While stuck inside today I decided to make a tank top. I used the purple knit I had left over from my Fleece Lined Neck Warmers. I found a free pattern at onlinefabricstore.net. It's such an easy... Continue Reading →

Today's project is crayon cases! They are so fast and easy to make, and are a great way to use up extra fabric as they don't require very much. Check out the free instructions at So Sew Easy.
Yesterday we had a big snowstorm so I was inspired to make a winter craft. I decided to make personalized hand warmers for the people I work with. There are lots of tutorials for these rice hand warmers but I haven't seen any personalized or hand sewn warmers. You will need: A sheet of felt... Continue Reading →
