Can't Stop, Won't Stop

The past few weeks I have gone a little crazy sewing and crafting everything in sight!

I reorganized my closed and made some DIY shelf dividers that I found here.

I have also created two fun tops that can go from work to night on the town!

Summer Summer Summer Time....

Summer is Here, well it is in Nashville :) This time of year I love to wear skirts and dresses and I found this beautiful pattern and needed it in my life! I have been experimenting with prints as of late and found this wonderful print from Jo-Ann's Fabric. I bought the last 3 yards so I believe a tank top or skirt will be made from this print as well.

View D for pattern M6752 was used in creating this dress but I wanted to alter the hem length and added 3" to make this dress a bit more work appropriate but I completely forgot to, next time I will.

I got to wear this pretty little number for my 1 year anniversary! I hope you enjoy.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all!

This mother's day I decided  to be creative and make my mom a dress that matches her beautiful personality.  I made this dress in less then 2 hours which is a record for me! White jersey knit was used to create View D from McCalls M6886 pattern. I hope you enjoy!

Kwik Sew

Let It Flow

If you are like me you find something (shoes, tops, pants, etc.) and need that found item in several different colors. I found this pattern Kwik Sew for a tank top which looked incredibly easy and could go from the office to a night out.You will be seeing this tank in many variations!

I made this a two tone tank without the pocket. I used black lace on top of the black fabric jersey to give a little spice to it.
