This is the place to look if you love sewing or maybe need some tips to get started. There will be free patterns here as well! I’ve been sewing for about 22 years and have made everything from simple bags to my wedding dress. Sewing is my greatest passion! I hope to add more and more tutorials to help fuel others passion too. I believe sewing is useful to everyone, whether you just need to mend a button or want to make your own wardrobe. If you really want to see something specific, just let me know in the comments. I am always learning new techniques, so I hope you’ll join me on my fabric obsessed journey!

I’ve seen many posts about making an envelope pillow cover from a single piece of fabric. What if you want a removable cover that has a different front and back? Or, what if you have an odd shape you want to add a removable cover to? Today I’m going to show you how to figure […] Read more…
Monday has come too fast this week! I was gone most of the weekend and that always means I have to play catch up the following week. No matter how much I try to get ahead the week before, it just never happens! It’s okay and it was totally worth it! I got to go […] Read more…
I’m so happy Friday is finally here! Even though it was only a 4 day week for me, it has felt like a 10 day week. Why does a shorter week always feel longer? I leave early tomorrow morning to head to QuiltCon and I’m so excited!! This is the first time I’ll be attending […] Read more…
