You could say I drug my feet a bit, but I’m happy to say that the Cirque d’Elephant Quilt Pattern is now available as a printed pattern! I’ve just shipped out the first batch of orders, and it feels good! I’ve got a good start on my next pattern, and am excited to share that…

We hit a really fun milestone this week. Wyatt got invited to his first birthday party! I may have been as excited as he was, especially because it was for a little girl. A friend and I just had a conversation last week about how it would be fun to make an apron for a…

I hope you’re having a great long weekend! We spent Saturday evening fishing, and Joel was the only one lucky enough to catch anything. There was also making of mud pies. There may have been more mud pies going on than fishing for some of us. Like Weston’s new do? I have to admit he’s not nearly…

I made this little Mommy & Mia Apron recently using Sew Cherry by Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet. Sew Cherry is Lori’s first fabric line, and, as you can see, it’s fabulous! The colors are beautiful and fresh. The prints are adorable. The fabric I used for the body of the apron is…

Now that we’ve finally had a couple of days of relatively nice weather here in Utah, I realized that Wyatt has outgrown almost all of his hoodies and spring jackets. I bought the Urban Hoodie Pattern from Heidi and Finn awhile back, and thought that it was the perfect time to finally use it! I’ve…

It’s done!  After re-doing the hem four times (yes, FOUR times — I told you I’m well aquainted with my seam ripper), my dress is done.  I finished it just in time for my brother in law’s wedding this weekend, and have to say that it was so much fun to make.  If you missed it,…

We are at the end of the Creative Chick Parade, and today’s theme is Before and After.  It’s a pretty broad theme, so it’ll be fun so see what you all come up with!  Here’s my “before”: I found this skirt at DI for $4 a while ago (how do we never get great before…

I finally had some time to organize my sewing room over the weekend.  When I say organize, I mean get everything put away and off of the tables :).  It’s far from being as organized as I’d like.  I’ve been trying to come up with some ideas for organizing my fabric, and have been debating…

Today I’m excited to blog swap with Jax from Aly&Ash. I’m doing a Ruby Lou Doll pdf pattern giveaway at her blog, and you actually have two chances to win because 733 is also doing a Ruby Lou Doll pattern giveaway here as part of their Creativity Week. It just so happened that they both…

Here’s today’s Flashback Friday… Don’t worry ladies, no depressing stories today!  We get to lighten things up.  I’m excited to welcome Katie from Notes From A Very Red Kitchen to Sew Much Ado for today’s Flashback Friday.  I laughed out loud while I read this, and I’m sure you will too!  Take it away, Katie……

I know I’ve really been slacking with the Flashback Fridays lately.  I’ve been a busy little bee getting things finished up for the printed Ruby Lou Doll Pattern and some other things have had to slide.  My pattern testers all did a fabulous job and (fingers crossed) I’m hoping to get it to the printer’s…

Have you ever considered checking your local library for some fresh ideas?  A lot of sewers and crafters aren’t aware that most libraries carry a big collection of sewing and crafting books.  In my area, the Salt Lake County Libraries carry books from Amy Butler’s Little Stitches for Little Ones to Heather Ross’ Weekend Sewing,…
