FREE Sewing Coloring Pages
The coloring page craze is going strong and I have to say I do love coloring! So I made up some free sewing coloring pages for everyone to enjoy! There are 3 designs, a sewing machine, seam ripper pattern and a sewing quote. The sewing quote is one of my favorites, "My soul is fed with needle and thread." The sewing machine has lots of patterns within it for a more intricate coloring page, lots to color! I'm hoping this seam ripper pattern will encourage you to NOT use your seam ripper...like a subliminal sewing exercise or something! ...Continue Reading

UNBIASED // The Adora Top
I'm continuing my week of Unbiased patterns with the Adora Top! This top is really cute- it has a front and back yoke, both are different shapes. The neckline is my favorite part, it has a large keyhole opening that is just perfect for a cute necklace. This pattern can be 100% knit or a combo of knit and woven, so I used muslin with a lace overlay for the woven parts. Lightweight knits are best for the rest of the pattern. I went for a neutral pallet with this top, so I can accessorize depending on the look I want. I collected ...Continue Reading
