What in nature are you grateful for? I’m deciding that this counts – I am grateful for the colors in nature. It always amazes me how the colors of everything in nature are so deep and beautiful.

Pattern: Lonetree Jacket Fabric: Denim (Cotton 98%, Spandex 2%) from JoAnn’s First of all, I love this jacket. I was so excited when Allie with Indiesew shared that she was making a utility jacket pattern (her first pattern!) and needed pattern-testers.

What knowledge are you grateful for? Lately I have been very grateful for my knowledge of sewing and graphic design. I am so grateful I was able to go to college (no matter how painful it was) and learn about something that interested me. I feel like a lot of people are afraid they’ll never … [Read more…]
I have been wanting to sew a swing dress/shirt for a long time, and since I’ve been feeling good, I jumped on the opportunity to use the McCall’s pattern M6886. If you follow Riva La Diva, she always uses it, so I knew it had to be a great basic dress pattern. The pattern … [Read more…]
Today’s Grati-Tuesday question is a weird one, but we’re just gonna go for it! What texture are you grateful for today? I love soft knit fabrics. They are my weakness. I just finished sewing a dress for my sister and the fabric was sort of a pain to sew with, but it was so soft … [Read more…]
