Ironing Board Cover Sewing Tutorial

In the summer she told me that her parents had given her permission to re-do her bedroom into a Boho themed room and she was so excited. As she began to tell me what her vision was for her bedroom I got really excited for her and thought maybe I could help her out a bit by sewing some pillows,…

Easy Fall Quilting! Mug Rug Coaster Pattern
Hello Friends! Happy first day of fall!!! Until the weather gets cold here in Tennessee (halloween time usually!) I have a really hard time thinking about beautiful colored leaves and pumpkins. But this year I worked really hard to do some fall sewing in September! My plan was to make a full size quilt… but lets be honest here.

Late Summer Swim and Spa Robes
I have such a fun sewing project to share with you today! When I was contacted by Shannon Fabrics about another collaboration with Clover, I jumped on their beautiful Turkish Terry Waffle White Fabric. When the fabric arrived it was as special as I knew it would be.

Our family goes on a yearly beach vacation…

Hello friends! I’m excited to be here today! I took a little sewing and blogging break as my son got married on our farm here in Tennessee and my husband and I spent 6 weeks doing all sorts of wedding prep things on our farm! For a month I literally didn’t sit down in my sewing studio… I think that has to be the longest stretch I’ve ever gone without sewing! When I made the double gauze quilt and blogged about it here, I kept thinking that I sure…
