I have gotten emails on a regular basis for years, literally, from folks who would like to make the Snack Bandolier from my tutorial for sale at craft shows and street fairs, or through their online shop. I’ve had…
About a zillion years ago, I roped myself into a postage stamp quilt project. It was when our littlest was really little; in about two months, she turns three, and there is the slimmest chance this project will be…
It’s here!! The Sewing Clothing for Kids e-course starts today and I am seriously excited. The class includes EIGHT patterns for boys AND girls (including the always popular Overmost!), with lots of options and variations to play with. Plenty…
Full disclaimer: this was not a DIY project. But we did gut this bathroom down to the studs and make it our own. Which, in its own way, is pretty exciting. This is the Jack-and-Jill bath that the children…
I sent out a newsletter announcement on Friday, and clicking “Send” was harder than I thought. In fact, I walked away and came back after picking the kids up from school, because I needed it to sit for a…

For the past two days, I’ve been giving away skirts I made as samples from my Craftsy class, Design and Sew an A-Line Skirt. And today and tomorrow, I have FOUR more! Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all. These two are…
Another day, and TWO more skirts! These are both samples from my Design and Sew an A-Line Skirt class on Craftsy. A couple folks have asked whether the pattern for these skirts is also available, and it is–when you…
