Dragon Plush Pattern – First Complete Prototype!
UPDATE: The sewing pattern is now available on Ko-Fi and Etsy! Thank you for your support! There are so many terrible commercial dragon plush out there, folks. They are all either too scary or too goofy. As far as indie pattern designers go, Choly Knight has some great little dragon designs, but I’ve been interested … [Read more…]
Sewing Room Organization: DIY Ironing Board
Last summer, I replaced my old, normal ironing board with a DIY solution. It’s awesome. It’s inspired by Brooke at Custom Style, and Quilting with Mom. I had piles of stuff on the floor beneath my ironing board. Then I found out about making a custom table with storage underneath. You get more storage space … [Read more…]

I think it will take my work to the next level. But of course, I have to learn how to use the machine … [Read more…]
Rica Bag (ithinksew)
As soon as I saw the Rica Bag pattern on ithinksew.com, I wanted to make it. Here’s my version, made out of waxed canvas and purple “eco-leather” for the exterior, and purple arrow print cotton for the lining. I added Peltex to the bottom to make it nice and sturdy. Cute and functional! Love it!

I originally made a simple coptic stitch book with just printer paper, cardstock covers, and perle embroidery thread. Then I decided I wanted to try case binding using glue and … [Read more…]

Donkey Kong Sling Bag
I made this Donkey Kong sling backpack for my husband for PAX East. I’m so happy how it came out! The pattern is the Erika Sling Bag by ithinksew. It’s pretty small, about 12″ tall. But that makes it perfect for carrying just your essentials around a convention (and under a kigu!!). The fabric is … [Read more…]

Today I want to share with you this wine bag I made for my amazing mother-in-law for Christmas. It features Linda from Bob’s Burgers! The … [Read more…]
Review: Madison Hunting Bag Pattern by ithinksew
I made this bag for myself for my birthday. Just a little bit of selfish sewing! This is the Madison Hunting Bag designed by ithinksew. I got the pattern in ithinksew’s early summer sale, in a bundle with the Beckett Backpack, which I hope to also make sometime soon. The bag is large but not … [Read more…]
