New Aprons


Oh February... everything about this month makes me want to sew with colorful fabrics! These two aprons were inspired by my adorable nieces who love to help their mama, (aka my beautiful sis)! 


I decided to do a little something different and make a two-tier skirt.  I added the lettering last since it's not machine stitched to the apron. (Gotta love Joann's!) Now, I have my own method for all the aprons (& items) I sell in the Etsy shop. (I guess you can say that I always felt like it was bad ju-ju to make money off of someone else's patterns.) Anyway, as I made these, I realized I need to make more of the these two tier skirts & recorded the measurements of fabric. They're adorable & they look even cuter on! Then.... of course, I went out of control with another "to-do" list of all the different styles & sizes you could make with the two-tiers. I guess you could say I'll be busy stitching till Summer:) 




On another note... I'm continually cutting up random snippets & blocks. Still overly-inspired by quilt making. I get the feeling this is not a short term thing with me. Here's a sneak peak another little something going on in the sewing room. 

I love the way these colors look together!

Happy Sewing till next time friends!!

What is musmula?

Look at these beauties. Finally, I find an answer to this question! The translation for the Turkish, Mediterranean fruit called 'musmula' is 'medlar'.  This exotic fruit that's a cross between a pear and a hawthorn is very unique and tasty. I owe great thanks to my grandfather for grafting this beauty in my yard. Sadly, I don't have any recipes regarding the medlar. But I have read that it is great for making preserves and jelly's. This is a tasty fall fruit that can only ripen after the first frost. I should really move them to a dry shelf until the pulp softens. Then, they're the best!

The Ogden Cami ~ A Review

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful February and a great start to March! Spring is right around the corner and I'm counting down to daylight savings on March 10th! Hooray for longer sunshine! Lately, I've been longing to go back to stitching up clothes. And... I ended up finding the cutest pattern to get me back in the groove at Hawthorne Threads . The Ogden Cami by True Bias Patterns is perfect and quite simple! I started off by making a test run with some red, light-weight fabric, figuring if this comes out good, I'll have 2 tops! And guess what? It came out awesome! Making a practice piece was a great idea. It's always recommended and there are so many reasons why. In the instructional booklet, I wrote myself little notes.  ~ cut the fabric 1/4" larger at the sides so I can use a serger. This will allow me to have finished ends and still a good seam allowance.  ~ cut the straps 1/2" larger, so the ...

Evergreen Trees

Hello friends and fellow bloggers! I hope the start of 2021 has been full of good health, happiness, and love. Over here, I've been been busy enjoying the creative process, trying new things and attempting new horizons every which way possible. It truly feels like a good way to start the year. I wanted to share with you this adorable Evergreen Tree quilt.  I've never done foundation paper piecing prior to this project, but can honestly say I'm hooked! This free printable pattern was found on Pinterest and was perrrrfect for a beginner like myself. Not to mention, it helped me use up nearly all my green scraps:) If you are new to FPP too, you'll want to make sure the first pattern you try is numbered.  This will help you understand how the blocks should be created from start to finish. Every quilt is a one of a kind, but I have to admit, this takes it a step further. Also recommended, watching a few youtube videos. I'm a visual learner, and watching the videos reall...
