Sleeper Style Dress
A Word of Caution I feel the need to start by saying this will not be an organized tutorial. I already made the dress and didn’t film any of the process so I am doing it after the fact. But I’ve had so many requests for a tutorial I felt the need to try and type out my process for how I did it. What I will do is link all the…

Elevating Your Coffee Experience
I have a coffee addiction. Not in the corny “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee” way but in the literal sense of the word. I think about coffee all the time. Some days it is the one reason I get out of bed. If I put my espresso machine on my nightstand I fear I would never get up. To me, coffee is an overall experience like no other.…

Cup of Cheer Coffee Christmas Basket
As I’ve gotten older I’ve come to appreciate thoughtful gifts and gifts that can really be used, not just stuff. This year one of my gifts is this “cup of cheer” coffee gift basket. This was actually a gift for a white elephant, but would be perfect for that coffee lover in your life. I included some coffee, holiday syrups, nutpods peppermint mocha creamer, and a holiday mug with a christmas message…

Free Sewing Patterns
Sewing can get expensive, so I try to save where I can. One way is by using free sewing patterns. It is also a low stakes way to start sewing. Don’t be afraid to modify these or use these as a base to make your own custom patterns. If you mess up, you can always print another. There are more out there than you would think, so I wanted to use this…

My Personal Shopping Manifesto
This post is going to be a little different than my typical content, but it is something that has been weighing on me heavily and I want to address. It also is related to why I have not been posting as much. Overconsumption is killing us. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved shopping. I love the experience of walking through stores and feeling the fabrics. I love the thrill…

Beginner Sewing Tips + How I Started
Often on Facebook or TikTok I get the question “how did you learn to sew”? And the short answer is I learned the very basics at a young age but taught myself more advanced skills more recently. How I Learned My mom used to sew when I was growing up so I would sometimes watch her and she let me use the machine from time to time. However, I would say I…

Bulk Sewing Supplies
One easy way to save when sewing is to buy frequently used notions in bulk! Here are three items I have purchased and use frequently. Bias Tape I got 55 yards of this double fold 1/2 inch bias tape for a little over $10. Totally worth it so I don’t have to waste time making my own for projects or spending $3 for just a few yards. Elastic I use 1/4 inch…

Vintage Fabric I Love
I love vintage fabric, I love the unique designs and also using materials that already exist and not creating more waste. Of course the downside of this is there is only a limited amount of this vintage fabric left in this world and inventory changes by the minute. I am creating this post on July 27th and as of writing it all these are currently available. Another note–these are affiliate links meaning…
