Clearing the Home Headquarters! – Sewing Room Makeover
Hi All! Second post of the day *does victory dance in head*!! So the past couple weeks that I was sick (I am better now 😀 ), I left my apartment to the warm comfort of home and my mom taking care of me- which meant a lot of time spent in the home headquarters sewing...
Sew Saturday: Islander Sewing System & my industrial
Hi All, So I have been a little MIA here this week, and I do apologize- I have been sick (as you know from my post on Hot Toddies), and I have just been feeling very uncreative and miserable- and not really into posting about it. I have been feeling a little better...
Dog Socks
I came home to find that my mom had made our dog these: Little work socks..... let me just say - death by cuteness- Now she made these because he gets clumps of snow in his paw fur and it's hard for him to walk very far in all the snow that we have right now. But I...
Sew Saturday: Striped Sweater
Hi all- so I have been doing some sewing! I decided for this project I wanted something that I was going to wear a lot. I know it is always nice to make that fancy top or dress- but let's be real, I spend 94% of my time in my sweats (when I am at home). And I figured...
Barbie Girl
When my mom asked me if I would like to help her make a purple Barbie outfit for a friend's daughter, I jumped at the chance. I was OBSESSED with Barbie as a child- she was my ultimate- I had the Barbie house, the Barbie car, and a huge wardrobe of all Barbie's...
Silk Top

Bringing back 2004
Finally a fashion sewing post!- and I think this is definitely one of the more interesting and cool things I've made. I was looking through all my patterns, trying to decide what I should make, and I came across one of my older Burda World of Fashion magazines (one of...
Hibernation Preparation
So now that Halloween is over, and the long winter is ahead, I have decided to prepare for my inevitable hibernation (not wanting to leave my bed ever) by making myself a new duvet cover. My old duvet cover had a pretty flower print on a white background, but was...
Fighting Evil By Moonlight…
♫ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♫- yes Halloween! As both a sewing and Halloween fanatic, I can declare that this is indeed the most wonderful time of the year, a time of year where you can dress up however you want, in whatever costume, and you...
Sewing Room Curtains!
Here it is! , as promised, this post is going to be about those fabulous curtains/window-coverings that I showed in my sewing room tour. These were made with the help of my mom, who is a little more experienced at sewing household-y things than I am. So after...
New Sewing Room Tour!
With my first post I thought I would show off my new sewing room. After recently moving into a new apartment with my sister I finally have a sewing room! It is so nice to have my own little space where I can have my machines set up and ready for whenever I am!...
