I told you I would share how I made my very own bobbin holder in my Sewing Studio Tour post here, and guess what? Today is the day, holla! This was seriously one of the easiest projects I have ever made and so inexpensive too! I bought a small wood plaque at Joann's, regularly priced at $0.79 and even cheaper with a 40% off coupon, I also bought a long wood dowel at … [Read more...]
DIY Beginner Sewing Kit Gift Idea-TUTORIAL
This weekend I had the privilege of helping one of my amazing neighbors learn how to sew (insert happy face). Does anybody else get giddy at the idea of turning another person on to the awesomely wide world of sewing and DIY? Ya'll know I love to teach, so I jumped at the chance to get my teacher on and show her how to wind her bobbin, thread her machine, and take that … [Read more...]
Ric Rac Organization Tutorial and Studio Organization–The Other Cabinet
Bwhahaha! I laugh every time I type or say the word 'studio' for my craft/sewing/work space. I think it makes it seem oh-so-fancy but really it's not. It's just my subtle takeover of our formal dining room that we use twice a year! I was actually planning on taking our 4th bedroom and making it my craft room but then I realized how much I truly can get done during the … [Read more...]
Mini Fabric Bolts and Some Studio Organization

Sewing Binge and Labels
This weekend I went on a sewing binge. I made myself a simple elastic waist band skirt not unlike the skirt portion ofthis dress. Unfortunately, the dress does not make nursing my babe the easiest of tasks so a skirt is more up my alley these days. I also decided to sew Penelope a few peasant style dresses as I absolutely dig the cute little sleeves and the fact that … [Read more...]
The Retro Wristband Pincushion
Ummm yeah...so I found these rockin' red, white and blue wristbands in the dollar bins at Joann's the other week (yes, that would be before the 4th of July...not sure if they are still there or not...but you could totally make this pincushion with a plain one...just funk-i-fy it up all the same!) These wristbands were just waaay cool to me and I couldn't pass up buying a … [Read more...]
Welcome the Newest Additions to Our Family…
Ok, so it's not a baby or a puppy or a kitten...but it is just as precious to me...it's my new sewing station! Yup, you heard me right, I finally have a place to put all of my sewing and crafting supplies, can I get a woot, woot! Now, I no longer need to be jealous of Martha Stewart, well, hmm...maybe just a little, a girl can dream, right?! I have been looking for a … [Read more...]
