A few months ago, I posted the before and after pictures of my sewing + craft space. It was a space that severely needed some organization. Since requesting my husband to create some built ins for my sewing space would take a little too much time right now, we turned to the next best place.
Just recently, I set out on a quest to get back to the basics of sewing and quilting. I was having some trouble with points & seams lining up, and I wasn’t improving. My first task was perfecting my quarter inch seam allowance, but that is a story for another day. 🙂 (This pillow cover… Read More
Many of you know I run a very small Etsy Shop. I enjoy it. It’s been fun. I make and sell at the pace that is needed for my time of life right now. It’s all very slow and sporadic, but for my time of life right now, it works great. Amidst attempting to narrow… Read More

Hi friends! A few days ago, I published a post about sewing scrappy hexagons. To supplement that tutorial, I provided a few sizes of templates for you to easily print off. Click on the hexagon images at the bottom of this post for a two inch, two and a half inch, or three inch template.… Read More
This is a major scrapbuster for fabric! Scrappy hexagons are a bit tedious, but they will use up your smallest scraps and strips that you can’t bear to just throw away. Plus, how great is it to have a sewing project you can work on while sitting with the family? I really enjoy have a… Read More
I’ve been gathering up all my scraps and favorite fabrics from my little stash as I start a scrappy Dresden Plate quilt. I’ve been experimenting and experimenting until I can figure out how scrappy I want the quilt and which colors I want. Until I can figure out my perfect combination, my Etsy shop will… Read More
