A little black dress and a pink door
A few weeks ago, I went out to dinner with just my girlfriends. And while I was getting ready, simultaneously tearing apart my closet to find something decent that didn’t involve wearing a nursing bra or purse large enough to carry around Will’s junk, I realized I have a closet full of crap and nothing … More A little black dress and a pink door
a DIY jumpsuit + an old oak tree
My “momi-form” these days has been the same two pairs of denim cut off shorts and a flowy tee shirt or tank top.

Unless it’s … More a DIY jumpsuit + an old oak tree

a DIY boyfriend/husband t-shirt refashion
So I don’t know when athleisure began to hit the streets, but I am truly loving it. My only hope is that we, as a generation, can modify this fashion trend to be even more relaxed.

a DIY quilt for the non-quilter
When I started learning how to sew almost 5 years ago, I remember gazing at photos of beautiful quilts that resembled pieces of art. And I thought, “I’ll make those someday! You just wait and see.”
indigo shirts and a dirt road
When I think back on the 90s, I have such fond memories of rolling up to middle school every day in my older sister’s Ford Probe while she rocked out to Nirvana and I hoping that maybe we could pop in my Boyz II Men cassette tape for just a second, spending countless hours worrying if Dylan … More indigo shirts and a dirt road
new fabric, old pattern
I started sewing in 2013 and when I look back at some of the things I made back in those days, I realize not all of them were real winners. In fact some of them I wore once to take photos and then never wore again. You know those times when an outfit just doesn’t fit … More new fabric, old pattern
