I decided that baby coats and snow suits are more hassle than they are worth, so I decided that I would make the Snuggie Wrap from Amy Butler’s Little Stitches for Little Ones and instead of making it a swaddle wrap, I would make it a car seat blanket. It actually turned out awesome, except [...]

So sometimes you just have to start over. That Weekender Bag I cut out like 6 months ago is still sitting around in pieces and I’ve decided I’m just ripping apart those two pockets I put together and starting over. It’s that cording…that darn cording!! Then I saw THIS! bag. It’s incredibly cute and made [...]

For quite awhile the Simplicity 3835 Built By Wendy pattern has been quite popular. If you don’t believe me, check out Flickr. Just search Built By Wendy 3835. After two unsuccessful attempts at the shirt pattern (due to my attempts at altering the pattern without any forethought), I decided to follow the directions this time [...]

With the new baby here let’s face it, the Weekender Bag requires too much attention and it might be awhile before it makes it’s way back to my sewing table. However, Favorite Things Annie’s Tote was a nice fit for my current free time. I had cut this pattern out a couple of months ago, [...]

This is quite image hefty, I would apologize but let’s be honest, if I was really sorry I wouldn’t have included so many pictures. Quite frankly, I add the pictures in to show you how awesome I really am. That being said, I spent a few hours this morning making more blankets for this baby. [...]

After weeks of staring at a gigantic piece of fabric and thinking, “how on earth am I going to do this”..and then finally cutting, and thinking I really messed it up..and then calling my mom for back-up….(sigh)..my baby’s room finally has curtains! I believe them to be the greatest curtains ever, but I suppose you [...]

Honestly, I just don’t sleep very well anymore. I’m not particularly uncomfortable or anything, I just wake up at random..or to go potty and then I can’t get back to sleep. So after 30 minutes of looking at the ceiling this morning I decided to get up and make a receiving blanket. I had pinned [...]

Since I’m taking the weekend off from the Weekender Bag, I’ll show you what I have been up to with my sewing machine. After wearing the same black skirt to church for the last 8 weeks I decided that my maternity wardrobe needed something new. Also, I find maternity shorts to be a foolish purchase [...]

After a month, I don’t know that I should even call this progress. It’s more like “Amy Butler Weekender Bag - I’m pacing myself…”. After spending two days doing the cutting I took a long hiatus from anything related to sewing in general, with the exception of looking at fabric online. I’ve also decided to [...]

After reading approximately 23.5 reviews of this pattern online I was prepared to spend hours cutting. What I wasn’t prepared for was spending days cutting. No joke, this is a pattern that requires so much cutting you’re going to start and stop…and start and stop…and by the way, I’m still not done cutting.
*EDIT*
Here is the [...]
