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 ...
Aerial Grove in Liberty and Chambray.
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 ...
Euclid Scallop Hem Shorts.
It's summertime, a.k.a. my favorite time of the year, and nothing says summertime like a good pair of shorts. I live in shorts all summer long...and actually, since it's summer--or feels like ...
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 ...
Pickle Hawaiian.
I definitely have no problem starting new projects. The problem is always in finishing them. Anyone else with me on that? Luckily for anything work-related, there are deadlines, which means things do ...
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 ...
Facing East Quilt in Euclid.
Here's a new Facing East Quilt in Euclid. Even though my new fabric collection Euclid is printed on Essex (and I've been making tons of garments and accessories with it), you can still use it ...
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 ...
Euclid Double Zip Wallet
This Euclid Double Zip Wallet is a project from Anna Graham's Handmade Style book, a project that I've been super eager to make. It has always looked so clever and handy. Plus, my own wallet has been ...
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 ...
Scrappy Collection and Liberty Aerial Grove Quilts.
Something about the New Year has had a positive influence on getting some WIPs back into rotation. My Scrappy Collection and Liberty Aerial Grove quilts are two of my favorites. Both of these are ...
Carkai Poufs for the Kids.
Furniture or projectile? I think that's part of the fun of the pouf. Or at least, that's the way I saw it Christmas morning as my 5-year-old nephew launched his new pouf across the room before going ...
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 ...
Carkai City Cargo Duffle
Ever since I made my first one, I knew it wouldn't be the last. This Carkai City Cargo Duffle is one that I made recently for a friend. The fabrics are Essex in Charcoal Yarn Dyed, Jay McCarrol ...
