This winter, I decided to tackle a few hoodie patterns for myself. The Tami by New Horizon Designs is currently at the top of my list. I have made two versions, in different types of fabric and different hoods and I really like the fit. The first one, I used the single crossover hood. Living …
I cannot remember if I have ever participated in a Sew Along before, but in December, I joined Sarah from Sewing with Sarah and the Greenstyle Creations team in my first official Sew Along. The Sew Along was for both their men's and women's raglan patterns, a fun way to combine both patterns. Sew Alongs are …
I have been washing diapers for close to 2.5 years now, and I am so ready to be finished! Unfortunately, the Little is not quite ready to be diaper free for good. To help the transition, I decided to sew up some trainers or "undies" as we refer to them, to wear around the house …
2018 was a pretty great year for sewing for me. I hit the one year mark of picking up my sewing machine again, and I am so glad I did! I also hit the one year mark of owning a serger and sewing clothing. I never dreamed of sewing clothing for myself and thought that …

One way to get to know a pattern company is by trying their free patterns! Most PDF pattern groups have at least one free pattern that you can get in one way or another. Brindille & Twig has three! I needed a good basic tee for the little, and thought going the freebie route would …
Currently, I have two go-to patterns for shirts for the little: The Ringer Tee by Brindille & Twig and the Mega Max Raglan by Max & Meena. Today, I'm going to tell you all about the Mega Max! This pattern is really great with all the options it comes with: Sleeve lengths, regular hood, pixie hood, or no …
