Sewing Pattern and Product Reviews

Eeek! I think I’m going to have to subscribe to this fabric subscription box!!!!

Subscribe to what, you say? Oh, I got ahead of myself.

A mini iron is a treasure in the sewing room, and on the road, so when I was asked if I wanted to preview and test the new OVO Travel Iron and Fabric Steamer from Reliable, of course I said ‘YES!’ – the Velocity 200IR that I tested nearly 2 years ago is still my favorite iron ever. It is hot and makes LOTS of steam with no dripping.

The words ‘Janome Horizon Memory Craft’ are a tongue twister! Watch me blunder as I share an honest, non-paid video review of my sewing machine.

It can be hard to sew for a tween, but I am not worried. Chloe is getting a new Kindle (because she’s a total bookworm) and to go with it I sewed her a Zip It Up Case. 

I’m at Quilt Market in Houston, Texas this weekend – woo hoo! I hope you’ve been seeing all the inspiring new fabrics, quilts, and other fun things that I’ve been posting on Instagram! Watch for a Quilt Market breakdown post on Monday – I can’t wait to show you everything!

In the meantime, I simply have to inspire you to get ready for Christmas by showing you some of the ah-mazing quilted Christmas tree skirts that people are sewing up after watching my online video class.

It’s time for the Crafty Little Things to Sew blog hop! I’m so excited to share with you a closer look at the projects in my new book! Crafty Little Things to Sew has just been released – and at the perfect time for holiday sewing. This book has you covered with sewing gifts for just about everyone on your list.

Some of you (like me) have been waiting AGES for this and I’m so happy to finally announce that Crafty Little Things to Sew is here!!!!

I love little cases. There is something so much fun about packing and organizing with a sweet little handmade case. Especially if you made it yourself!

A few years ago I had a little obsession with wool. I got a felting machine and I made all kinds of projects with felted wool (including this boy’s scarf). I bought books about every topic related to wool… including growing your own, lol! What was the animal I thought I could raise for wool??? Llamas!
