Sagittarius Ruffle Sleeve Hack
This post may contain affiliate links! I'm wearing my Sagittarius collection on repeat these days. It's good that I have so many! This one might be my favorite, it's a super cozy flannel. Lots of my testers used flannel (you can see their photos in my Facebook group!) and I was getting jealous of their clothes, hah! So I had to make myself one!

Cutting off the sleeve placket will save you 4 buttonholes and a facing so it can make it a quicker sew ...Continue Reading

here for the right reasons and other Bachelor themed Valentines
It's Janu-ARIE and this is when I come clean about a 6 year addiction I just can't quit. The Bachelor (season like 20 something) premieres tonight and I'M SO EXCITED. I started watching this stupid franchise show when I was super sick and pregnant with my baby girl. And I just can't stop. Every season I tell my husband and friends I'm going to quit. And I usually watch every episode, ha! Anyways, I'm over being embarrassed about it. It's so FUNNY. So CLICHE. The same every time. And I can't stop. Arie was totally in the first season I ...Continue Reading
NYE crushed velvet and pleather dress with JOANN
This post is sponsored by JOANN. These photos are a bit hilarious. I thought about redoing the photoshoot after Mae had a day, but then I realized they are kinda perfect, too. I'm sewing for my life, and that involves a bit of tears, rocking and chasing babies, a little comforting and this dress is kinda perfect for all of those! I worked with JOANN to create a New Year's Eve look using fabrics from their stores. I love the glitz and glam of New Years Eve and the freshness of the holiday. It's a total fashion inspiration, too! So ...Continue Reading

Sprout Patterns also carries the pattern in their printed fabric! Which means you can pick your fabrics from Spoonflower (through the Sprout website!) And that means, you can create your own designs, upload them to Spoonflower and then print them out with Sprout! The fabric comes with the pattern pieces ...Continue Reading
