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 ...

Everglade Pincushions and some Carkai Cards.
When it comes to pincushion making, I have a hard time making just one... Gift sewing is upon us. And even though I can't always promise punctuality with my gifting, I am a big proponent of the ...
Summer shorts: Essex and Interweave Chambray.
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 ...
Doe fabric Big Stitch coasters.
More big stitch coasters. But I gave these away, which is why I wanted to make myself some to keep. Tutorial: By me and found here. Fabric (fronts, binding): Doe Fabric (back): Atelier ...
Scrappy Collection Quilt: blocks are complete and attached.
As promised, I'll continually be checking in and sharing the progress of my second Collection quilt. Based on the pic I posted on IG when I first cut it out, I know that it was something like 8 ...
Handmade Style: Makeup Travel Case.
I really needed one of these. My toiletries-schelpping-when-traveling situation hasn't been very pretty lately. Or very functional, to be honest. I was basically doing the ...
Scout tee in Doewide.
This is another garment that's been on my to-sew list for a while. It's the Scout tee by Grainline Studio--a popular top that I've seen many people wear and many different versions of. It's a ...
My many Mercer tunics.
I might have gotten a little carried away with the Mercer Tunic pattern by Whitney Deal... I've now made 4 of them over not that long of a time period... There are several things that I like ...
Big Stitch coasters to keep.
I've been wanting to make myself a set of these big stitch coasters ever since I made them for this tutorial, and I finally got around to doing that recently. I love projects like this, because ...
A new Collection quilt.
Spoiler Alert: I've been on a making binge lately. In all ways and with all things. Does that ever happen to you? A few weeks ago, I looked in to my closet and felt completely sick of ...
Spoonflower swatch shirt.
I'm working on refining my summer wardrobe staples, and one thing that I know is that cotton lawn will be a big part of that equation. This is why I eagerly said yes to trying out the new cotton lawn ...
Wiksten Tova in Carolina Gingham.
I do love the Tova tunic by Wiksten. I also love grids. And gingham. And Grey. So this version was right up my alley. Fabric: Carolina Gingham from Robert ...
Archer Button Up in Mammoth Flannel.
Mmmm....flannel. Especially mammoth flannel...it's like wearing a cloud. I'd be happy to dress in this stuff from head to toe. Also, more Grainline love. The ...
Loving the Linden by Grainline Studio.
Oh, the Linden. It's good. And I've made many. It started with one, that quickly became two...and now I have six, plus a massive pile of knit fabric that I've been ...
Nesting Boxes: green, blue, botanics and doe.
I also made this set of nesting boxes. But I'm keeping them for myself. Right now, I've got them loaded up and sitting next to my sewing machine with all of the very important things that I ...
Nesting Boxes: black, white and Nani Iro.
These have been addicting. Fabric: Doe Wide and some leftover Nani Iro. Pattern: Nesting Boxes by Aneela Hoey ...
Sewing for my nephew: Legos, Mini Coopers, and the Jungle.
It's fun having a little(ish) one to sew for. My oldest nephew just turned 4, and I've always loved figuring out things to sew for him. I mostly try to stick to things that he'll enjoy ...
Summer Makes: Aerial Grove in a multitude of Kona cottons.
Continuing with what I've been making this summer, next up is another version of Aerial Grove--a project that's in my new book and one that I keep coming back to. I tend to enjoy ...
Summer Makes: Totem quilt.
This is also something that I've gotten into this summer--another Totem (one of my new patterns this past spring). The fabrics that I am using are a soft and happy mixture of things--some ...
The Nest Egg tote.
Introducing the Nest Egg--my newest pattern and contribution to the Road Trip Pattern Club. (UPDATE: Pattern now available here.) I had a lot of fun putting this project together! It all started ...
