The Children's Apron Pattern & Tutorial is here!




It's here! It's here! It's finally complete! I am beyond excited that The Children's Apron Pattern and Tutorial is ready for instant download at the Etsy shop!

The 21 page tutorial comes with descriptive pictures, a PDF computer generated pattern, sewing supplies list and fabric requirements! Now... all you lovelies that have fabrics laying around can put them to good use for the little people in your life:) I wanted to create a pattern for sizes 3-5, which is what I usually carry in the Etsy shop. But the wonderful thing, from this tutorial, you'll learn the way each piece fits into the other, which means there's no stopping to the sizes you can create! Hooray!!!

The PDF pattern is actually not even needed if you have a cutting mat with grid and rotary cutter. I just wanted to add them for people who didn't carry those sewing supplies.

      So what else is in the works you wonder? 
Well... Currently I have pattern testers working on The Survivor Quilt!! Another Hooray!!

Thank you to the amazing ladies that are taking the time to complete the test run!

Originally planning for paper patterns only, I realized that PDF is the best way to go. Many people, including myself, love to get started on projects right away.

This pattern is beginner friendly and will come with full color diagrams to make each of the 16 blocks.





The pattern is scheduled to be released in late March!

Until next time friends, Happy Trails to new sewing projects!

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...

January.... you're almost done!

Hello friends!  I feel like it's been forever since my last post. I suppose some might even say I've been spending nearly all my time on the forefront of creative madness along with trying to continue healing. Holy smokes! Chemo and radiation will change a person forever. I'm continuing my healing journey, and staying hopeful that I'll remain in the 'clear' for a long time. It's odd, the way you feel, when everything you've gotten accustomed to: the running around, working day to day, rushing here and rushing there.... how quickly it changes when it's no longer a necessity. Yes, I am extremely thankful that my spouse supports and pushes for my healing time, omitting nurse life as it was, but like I told my girlfriend the other day, "how many craft projects can a girl possibly do?" ..... Well let me just tell you..... A LOT! Today's post will revisit some Instagram pics, (in case you don't follow along) with some of my most recent...

Crystal Knob Rack

So... what can you do with a piece of wood measuring 45 inches by 3 1/2? Well, if it's 1 inch thick, you can use it to make the cutest wall rack. But instead of using hooks, use drawer knobs!   Here's how the idea got started. I needed a place to photograph kids aprons. Now, most of you know that my girls have been modeling them, but they can't model toddler aprons, right? All I could picture was a gorgeous crystal knob rack used to display those mini aprons I love to make. And after searching in stores and online, I realized they are not very easy to find. Soo...... "oooohhh hubby.... can you drill a few holes in this piece of oak wood I found in the barn?"   Of course he did it in a heart beat & he even sanded it down too! The holes were positioned like this: I did the two outer ones first, then measured to the center in between those. And again, the middle of the center and outer one. Got it? I took some regular creamy white wall paint I had left...
