So this week I made three costumes, two pair of pajama pants, a vintage apron and a doll dress. That’s a crazy amount of sewing. The boys costumes you can read about here . . . https://sewsanityblog.com/2018/06/11/week-36-my-sewing-has-been-hijacked/ My mom showed up for my daughter’s graduation with these two […]
How about a bonus post? This weekend I whipped up this shirt and shorts with one yard remnants that I had on hand. I LOVE finding patterns that can use up extra fabric. Recognize the fabric for the top? It’s the extras from this dress. It’s amazing how […]
Here are the projects so far! I started this challenge because I reached a point in life that I was so stressed and empty. Three cross country relocations, inheriting two children in a will, an unnecessary and costly custody battle to get them, and the natural growing of […]
In the next few weeks our home will go up on the market, and we will move about 1200 miles from here. My current sewing room offers a view I’ll likely never have again so I thought I’d post a few picture of this space before it’s gone. […]

About a year ago I flew to Georgia to visit my oldest child at college. As we bummed around her college town sipping coffee, eating fun foods and soaking in the charm of her college town we hopped in and out of cute clothing shops. We tried on […]
I hosted and taught my very first sewing class. This was not something I envisioned doing when I started this challenge #oneprojectaweekforayear, but it seems to be inspiring a lot of people in my immediate circle to try sewing or pick it up again. After the 20th person […]
The other night I was flipping through a sewing book my mom left at my house for me. It’s a whole book of project ideas that take one yard or less of fabric. Near the end of the book one of the projects made me stop flipping and […]
