I’ll have a longer post later about my trip to the UK that I just got home from, but I wanted to do a separate post about my pilgrimage to Liberty for fabric. The last time I went to London was in October 2017. I started sewing in February 2018. So I had little interest…

Well that was a busy and fun month! Started off quiet. I finally tested negative for Covid. I made a shirt. Went to Los Angeles and Vegas, but I already posted about that. (But here are a few highlight pics anyway…) The day after I got home, the boys and I went to a Pelicans…

I just completed maybe the most complicated project in my sewing career, the Canton Moto Jacket by Cashmerette. (Maybe jeans would have been harder if I hadn’t made them in a workshop with the inimitable Lauren of lladybird.) I have had this pattern printed out for a while, but wanted to wait for the weather…

June was a busy month! So let’s get to it. It started with a trip to California for my niece Eleanor’s high school graduation. Just me, not the boys or George. We went to UCLA (that’s where Ellie is going in the fall) and walked around (after having In and Out for lunch.) Before the…

Better late than never, I suppose. I barely posted at all last year, a mere 28 times! And 12 of those were monthly pics, so only 16 other posts? Actually that is more than I would have thought. Anyhoo, I’m going to try to post more in 2023. (For context, in 2014 I posted 342…

I never want the monthly pic to be the only thing I post on my blog, but it looks like October went by without anything else, so I am going to make up for that now. Buckle in. Just kidding, it hasn’t been that eventful. Let’s see, the last thing I posted about was my…

Due to a shipping snafu, I ended up with six meters (instead of the three I ordered) of a gorgeous teal melton wool from Blackbird Fabrics. Last fall Two falls ago I made a cape with it, and I love it, but capes aren’t the most practical and I’ve wanted another teal jacket/coat since I…

I’ve been doing some sewing, but haven’t done much blogging about it. (Couldn’t, really, since some of it was gifts.) I made quilts for my mom and sister (Mother’s Day and 50th birthday, respectively), both using patterns from Kitchen Table Quilting. Also I made a jacket. It’s kind of a test version, because I wanted…

Apparently the Mardi Gras parades started in earnest this weekend. I can’t say I noticed. I spent the whole weekend sewing instead. As background, I’ve been following Lauren Taylor (lladybird) on Instagram and her blog since I heard her on some sewing podcast a while back. She cursed a lot, and I’m pretty sure that’s…

I kept meaning to post this month, but couldn’t really make myself do it (aside from the quilt post.) But now I am feeling more up to it. Starting with my birthday, which I was kind of not excited about (which is VERY SAD because I love birthdays so much) because the weather was supposed…

After I made my first quilt, I thought I probably wouldn’t make another one for a while. I lasted a whole month before I started a second one. But it was fine, it would be so easy, because it was just a baby quilt, for my friend Erica’s baby who is going to be born…

I feel like maybe the last thing I want to do is revisit 2021, but you know, there were some real high points, so let’s do it. January I turned 46. I sat around the fire pit at my friend Jen’s house and it was all I wanted to do for my birthday – so…
