I really want to build a wardrobe of useful, comfortable clothes. At the end of 2019, so many people were posting their Make Nine's. Instagram user Julie_makes posted a Make Nine that, seriously, was my dream wardrobe. I love everything about this picture. I am going to shamelessly try to emulate (ie copy) her style. … Continue reading Shirt No. 1

Finished Object
For Christmas, I finished a quilt for my son. I started it long before, in fact I think I wanted to give it to him for his birthday in July but let it sit due to the heat. Just a simple quilt using a Thomas & Friends panel and stash cotton in solid colors. I … Continue reading Finished Object
Strata Top
Long ago I purchased Sew Liberated's Strata Top. I printed it out and pieced the pattern together, but then it just sat. At a yard sale over the summer, I found multiple bolts of fabric at a ridiculously low price and thought they would be great for making work ups of patterns. So, using some … Continue reading Strata Top

Tablet Sleeves
Life has been busy lately. That along with working on bigger projects means no posts lately. I had some time recently and made two more tablet sleeves. The first was for a friend who has a Kindle fire. I used the cute book fabric I had from my stash. I took another bloggers advice for … Continue reading Tablet Sleeves
Evolution of a Crochet Shrug Part Two
Good morning! This week I made some nice progress on my Make & Do Easy Breezy Crochet Shrug. I completed the sleeves.

I couldn't figure out … Continue reading Evolution of a Crochet Shrug Part Two
