Euclid Dishtowels
Although I made these Euclid dishtowels a little while ago, they're a fun favorite that I've yet to share much about until now. One of my favorite things about sewing is that there are many ...

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 ...
Friedlander Crew.
This fleet of Friedlander Crew pincushions was basically an excuse to play with my newest fabric / finish something kind of quickly, which is always satisfying. I like making pincushions for ...
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). ...
Wildabon Quilt with Leah Duncan.
Want to know one of the most fun things I did in 2016? Easy. It'd have to be my new Wildabon quilt--a collaboration with Leah Duncan. Everything about it was such a delight. To start, I'm a massive ...

This Nest Egg Tote in my Friedlander Fabric was a fun one to plan and put together. The Nest Egg continues to be one of my favorite travel bags for toting around my handwork. I'm still using the ...
Best of 2016 + a giveaway
It's really crazy that 2016 is almost over. It's been a good year, and as always, I'm going to put together a little year-end digest to see what has happened. If you're like me and always thinking ...
Creative Bug BOM Trudy.
It's time to meet the newest and final member of my 2016 contribution to the Creative Bug BOM, Trudy. She's fairly simple, but also adventurous and adaptable based on your fabric choices and how ...
Making Fauna and a giveaway.
I have another project in the latest issue of Making Magazine, by Madder. The theme for this issue is Fauna, which is pretty fun. My project explores a fairly simple idea--embroidered fish. But ...
Fall sewing with Euclid.
I guess it's getting cooler other places...right? You can't really tell where I am, but in the spirit of seasons changing and warmer-wardrobes calling, here's a little bit of fall sewing with Euclid. ...
Ruffle Front Jacket in Euclid.
Last week, I was in North Carolina teaching a couple of classes. I had a lot of fun, the students were all great. The local shop, Sewingly Yours, had just gotten some Euclid in, and they'd made a nice ...

I finished this guy. Finally. And it was fun. Here's a look at my Aerial Grove in Liberty and chambray that I started a little while ago (107 weeks according to Instagram) ... with status updates ...
Totem Quilt in Euclid.
Would you believe I made this in just 1 day? It's true. That's kind of what happens when it comes to fabric release time. There's always a super long list of things I'd like to make in ...
Liberty and Euclid Petal Pouch.
Another project in the recent Making magazine from Maddermade (same issue with my native coaster project), was this great Petal Pouch pattern by Noodlehead. Of course I had to make one--in Liberty and ...
Seabrook bags in Euclid.
It seems like I've been seeing good backpacks and bucket bags everywhere this year. Or maybe it's just that since they've been on my mind, I've been noticing them more and more. There's nothing more ...
Euclid Landgate.
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 ...
