Here is the dress I sewed as a gift to Calla, my niece, for her 2nd birthday. The round pocket is for all her little trinkets. I love the Amy Butler fabrics in this dress, and would’ve loved to make one for myself…except that it might be a little overboard for auntie and niece [...]

An iridescent, embroidered dupioni silk tea cozy and matching reversible coasters was made for my friend, Anna, who celebrated a birthday this week. Her home is decorated traditionally with a bent towards unfussy glamour. With golds, deep reds, and a splash of blue and white porcelain, Anna’s decor provides the perfect backdrop [...]

I sewed another outfit. Lest you think I sew all the time, I don’t. This week’s outfit was the culmination of being homebound with sick children, being out of touch with my computer in the shop, and being too nauseous to cook and entertain. A lovely byproduct from what otherwise was an [...]

Saturday is often a workday when you are married to a preacher. Since my husband often writes the final draft to his message on Saturday night, I am usually looking for something to do after the kids are down and the dishes done. This weekend, I got a hankerin’ to sew, so I [...]

My husband is heading home tonight after spending a week at the Shepherd’s Conference in Los Angeles. While I am more than eager for the return of his help and companionship, I am thankful for the encouragement and teaching he receives each year this first week in March. He stayed the first and [...]

For someone who has never really learned how to sew, I’ve been sewing quite a bit as of late! I made this book bag for my friend, Trish, who’s birthday was earlier this month. Trish’s personality is bright and exuberant, but her preference is for neutral, subtle, and calming colors. She likes [...]

One of my best friends from college is having a baby boy next month. It will be her first. She is a musician, a writer, a comfort-food cook, encourager in Christ, and a loyal girlfriend. Naturally, I’m subjecting her to one of my homemade maternity gifts. The homemade part was mandatory, [...]

Christmas always turns out to be a bigger blessing than expected. Our family was showered with needs and wants and much love. Among our favorite gifts this year were: a new vacuum cleaner, espresso machine, wooden pretend kitchen for number two, LEGOS, and this DVD set. It’s unbelieveable how blessed we were [...]

I’ve been sewing….a lot. Sewing, ripping seams out, fixing broken needles, ripping more seams out, messing with the tension…and, ripping more seams out. For the amateur, self-taught seamstress, this often-times tedious pastime is a labor of love and not necessarily that of leisure (especially if there is no such thing as “free time” [...]
