I am back again with yet another new pattern from Patterns for Pirates. Most people's first thought probably is "another tee pattern???" This is true, but it is another solid pattern to add to the rotation. Like I have said before, I am no chef, but I can follow a recipe. As much as I … Continue reading New Favorite Tee by P4P- Pattern Test
So I feel a little silly. I was hesitant to sign up for the Color Me Lucky Pantone 2017 blog tour because, well.....I had no idea what the Pantone Color Chart even was. I am always slow with fashion trends, and I don't get to spend enough time browsing Pinterest or magazines for the latest … Continue reading Color Me Lucky Pantone 2017
I don't know about you, but I have been going through Pattern for Pirates new pattern withdrawals?

I'm back today with another pattern test. This time I am proud to show you Love Notions latest release: the Terra Tunic. This was my first time testing for Love Notions, and it was a great experience. So a tunic for all seasons you say? First season for me is winter. We finally have cold … Continue reading Love Notions Terra Tunic: A Tunic for all Seasons
It's funny how I started sewing for myself to bring my body back in its comfort zone. I am two sizes bigger in the hips than I am up top. I have a ridiculously long torso that turns regular length dresses into tunics and tunics into tops. I needed clothes that fit me. Not the … Continue reading Pattern Testing: Mama Cassie from Made for Mermaids
It's funny how times have changed. There is a phrase that is popular here in Tennessee: "On Saturdays we wear orange." University of Tennessee orange to be exact. Football used to be such a huge part of my life. My husband and I used to spend Saturdays watching any game that came on TV and … Continue reading Saturday in the South
