Each year before we go to the Renaissance Festival, I ask the kids what they want to go as (usually knight, knight, pirate, etc.). Kai wanted to go as a knight this year, but not much fit him from previous […]
I got a few things sewn up over the last few months for me… This is a simple tank top out of a really fun fabric. The fabric has lycra in it with different elasticities for each of the stripe […]
I normally don’t make pajamas for the kids, since they just aren’t that interesting to make. However, when you have an excessive amount of fabric…jammies sound like a good thing to sew. I had bought this kitty fabric for Anya […]

There are few things more divine to the taste buds than sundried tomatoes and goat cheese. I had a few pork tenderloins thawing in the refrigerator on a weeknight, and needed to devise a plan to utilize them. At Costco, […]
When I was digging away in the one-off fabric pile at the fabric mill I buy my fabric from…I found this fabric. Totally girly and totally dressy fabric. I wasn’t sure I could make her a dress, since…you know…it’s […]
