Dia De Los Muertos - Sugar Skull Kitty Redux

How quickly is autumn slipping away?  It feels like it just started and yet Halloween is upon us!  Luckily the weather here should stay fall-like through most of November so I still have time to enjoy my favorite season.  There are so many fun holidays ahead and one that we didn't celebrate growing up, but has become something I really look forward to is Dia De Los Muertos or the Day of the Dead.  November 1st is set aside to honor and remember with celebration those who have passed. Melissa from Rebel & Malice is hosting another Dia De Los Muertos tour and I'm happy to participate again this year.

Pencil Skirts All Around

A Birthday Tour and the Deep Bust Adjustment

Remember last October, almost a full year ago, when I made the Marbella Dress from Itch to Stitch?  Well that was her first official pattern released and it's exciting to think that the 1 year anniversary of Itch to Stitch* designs is upon us.  To celebrate, there's a birthday tour with a giveaway, amazing - unheard of for Itch to Stitch -  discounts, and a great group of bloggers who all set out to put their own spin on one or more Itch to Stitch patterns.  *This post contains affiliate links

Momiform Makeover - a Work In Progress

You know what a momiform is right?  The outfit you wear for comfort and practicality while chasing your kids around all day.  About a year and a half ago, I got myself out of the whole yoga pants with a tee rut by sewing a few Alder Skirts and Trifecta Tees.  I adore both of those patterns, but to be honest I was starting to feel like I was in another rut.  So over the past few months I've been trying to find the time to sew for myself a little more and happily, the opportunity came up to sew a Mom-iform makeover along with Lauren Dahl (from Baste + Gather) and a group of amazing bloggers.
