Time for a #flashbackfriday post! I made this quilt for my mom’s birthday last July. I had come across the Groovy Guitars fabric by Michael Miller and immediately thought of her. It’s a cross between her two favorite things: teal and guitars! I proceeded to research and plan so that I could make the perfect… Continue reading Rockin’ Guitar Quilt
The moment I saw Simplicity 1373, I knew I needed to make it, but I also knew that it would make an amazing dress. So, I started planning. I bought a few yards of Cotton + Steel August Stampede in Navy, and got to work.
There are two things I really love, outside of that whole science things I’m doing: bras and sewing. So when I saw this pattern for the Watson Bra on Cloth Habit, it was fate. I wanted to make it immediately, but I had just started sewing, so I knew I needed more practice first. I… Continue reading FO: Watson Bra
This year, for halloween, I decided I wanted to be Khaleesi (Daenerys Targaryen) from Game of Thrones. After days of research, I decided on modifying the McCalls 6941 pattern to make the dress I wanted. After a week of hard work, many failed zipper attempts, and a lot of last-minute sewing, I present my finish object…

My first sewing project is a peplum style top that I made with my mom. I asked her if I could adopt her old sewing machine while I was visiting for spring break, and she said yes since she has purchased a newer one. She used to sew all of her clothes, so she was… Continue reading WIP: Peplum Top
Hello, world! I’m a beginner sewer learning (oftentimes long-distance) from my mom, who used to sew all of her clothes. I wanted to keep track of my projects for myself, and I figured a blog was the perfect way to do it! I’m glad you’ve decided to join me in – or simply stumbled upon –… Continue reading Hello world!
