Remember the peachy top with zippered pockets? I heard the clamor for a tutorial (do two people count as a clamor?), and I am a woman that delivers. This, my friends, is my first sewing tutorial and I'm going to throw the disclaimer out there that it's a bit rough. First of all, I had some challenges editing down photos so warning: endless photos coming up. At the same time, I seem to have missed taking photos of some key sections, but c'est la vie. Anyway, if you're feeling the need to add ... Read more

Good morning! How is your Monday treating you so far? I had a grand time this weekend, partying it up with K's little friends at a horse-riding birthday party.

Today I present you my all-time favorite color combo: grey and mustard. I love everything about this Kokka Echino fabric - the denseness of the cotton, the over-sized polka ... Read more

Poor M rarely gets Any kind of sewing love Enter boxer shorts Alas they're too small But at least was made with heart K likes to wear them ******************************************************************************* Happy Friday! I've had this Odyssea by Momo fabric for several years and thought it was finally time to let it shine as boxers. My gallant effort of sewing for my man started with using the "Foxy Boxers" pattern from this book. Then I couldn't believe how enormous ... Read more
