My favorite t-shirt patterns.
With Blake coming out, I knew I had a good excuse to find the perfect t-shirt pattern. It turns out, there are many. To be completely honest, I was never much of a t-shirt wearer before I started ...

SockSacks in Friedlander and Euclid.
I love a good gift-worthy project, and these SockSacks in my Friedlander and Euclid fabrics are some recent gifts that I made after being given one myself. It all started when a friend made ...
Wildabon Market Tote.
Sometimes (/most of the time) I get stuck on an idea that I can't wait to see through. This Wildabon Market Tote is one of them. Wildabon has been such a fun project in every way, and I've been eager ...
Sewing with Friedlander Lawn.
Sewing with Friedlander Lawn is an easy given. Lawn works really well for garments because of it's fine-ness, softness and beautiful drape. Here are some things I've made (/been wearing constantly). ...

Euclid Open Wide Pouches
These Euclid Open Wide Pouches were a blast to make. In fact, I've made several more since making these...and have given them all away. It's a super good project and a great gift. I found out about ...

Earlier this year, Fancy Tiger Crafts did a Coat Sew-Along on their blog, which was all kinds of fun and very enticing to watch, especially because one of the featured participants, Sara, was making ...
Euclid Wrap Pocket Totes
Euclid starts shipping this month--yay! And to celebrate that, I plan to step up my sharing game on my Euclid projects. I've made so much stuff and haven't totally caught up on sharing it all. To ...
Two more Poolside Totes in Carkai and Euclid fabrics.
There are many things about the Poolside Tote by Noodlehead that make it addictive. There's the style, the functionality, and the fact that it's just fun to make and plan--all of which are excellent ...
Euclid Cooper Backpack
With another kid on the way, my sister had been hinting around about making a backpack to help her haul all the things she needs (and hands free...the beauty of a backpack). It's really exciting that ...
Two Scrappy Poolside Totes
Here are two scrappy Poolside Totes that I made. Since the pattern has been on my mind lately, I thought it'd be a fun one to share. The pattern (Poolside Tote by Noodlehead) is such a good one. I ...
Maker’s Tote for Mom.
I made this Maker's Tote for my Mom. She's also a maker and so a handy carry-all seemed like a great idea. The pattern is this new one by Noodlehead. I used fabric from all four of my ...

Satellite 5 Quilt by Lynn Harris.
The Satellite 5 quilt by Lynn Harris is truly a stunner. Especially considering how few fabrics went into the making of it. I challenged Lynn to create a quilt using only the large-scale ...
Carkai Gatherer Crossbody Bag by Noodlehead.
This bag--the Gatherer Crossbody Bag (in carkai) by Noodlehead--is worth your while. Truly. Anna Graham continues to be the bag-designing master and (somehow) mind reader who knows exactly what I ...

It's been a toasty summer--not that I'm complaining--I prefer the heat over the cold any day. But because of that, I can never have too many pairs of shorts. It's what I live in, and I thought it'd be ...
