Oh yes, more espadrille goodness around here! I made these evil eye espadrille shoes and they are freaking awesome. I just continue to find it positively delightful that I’m able to make my own shoes and I’m pretty sure I am not alone in my enthusiasm. It always amazes me how much can be created […]

I am so excited to share that there are now WEDGE espadrille kits in the shop! Cue the cheers! Wedge shoes are not only adorable but also the rebels of the ‘fancy’ shoe category. Where else can you get the lift of a heel but with stability? (Just ask the illustrious Meghan Markle who wore them […]

I am positively dazzled by all of the incredible handmade items out there right now. It’s a beautiful and magical time for the handmade revolution. But, sometimes, the glorious and spectacular handmade universe gets scattered all over the place and it’s hard to remember how to get back to all the incredible places it takes […]

I don’t want to boss you around or anything but you are gonna want to put down whatever you are doing and make a linen and pom-pom infinity scarf. Or, maybe make a dozen…just to be sure you are ready for the holidays. Why linen and pom-poms? Because, dude, they are amazingly fun together! I was […]

For the past three or four years our family has celebrated the build up to Christmas with an activity advent calendar. As much as I love chocolate (and I really love chocolate! Make no mistake) I find the advent calendars with candy add unnecessary sugar to our diet and the holiday season is already a […]

I find it really hard to know what to sew for men and because sewinG is my love language, I struggle with how to make Father’s Day special in that handmade way. So, a few years ago when I pulled together boxer shorts for my husband in very special llama fabric, I realized that boxer […]

I’m not one of those people that loves the whole match-matchy thing between parents and kids. But, I had to make an exception with the espadrilles because my insides go all gooey with the idea of matching espadrille shoes. I’m calling them the MY FEET AND YOURS espadrille kits and they are making me exceedingly […]

Years ago, as my love for sewing grew to a fire looking to reignite, I walked into a modern sewing guild meeting wondering if modern quilts might be what was calling to me. (Spoiler: They weren’t.) Yet, it was through those meetings that I met Melanie Tuazon. She was the enthusiastic, supportive, note-taking, sit-right-up-front woman […]

I made a bra! A real, underwire, lace bra. I have written a bit about the bra-making workshop I attended on Instagram, months ago, but haven’t properly blogged about it. I guess I’m old-school because I feel like it’s necessary to blog about the big stuff. And, this lovely bra-making workshop with Madalynne definitely counts […]
