Sewing Plans for May 2026
Hi everyone! It’s a new month, which means it is time for me to start focusing on new sewing projects. I’ve been slacking on my sewing for the past few months due to a busy life and too many allergies. (This year seemed harder on me and my relative than last year. I don’t know why, but it has been!) Since I wasn’t able to focus on sewing these past few months, I let a lot of sewing projects fall to the waist side. In May, I’m hoping to start sewing like I needed to again. I have projects that require immediate attention (Pajamas!) and others that I want to…

An Update on the McCall’s M8029 Sew With Me Video- Current Plans and Where the New Video Is
Last year, I published a post about a video I posted on YouTube. The video was about how I made McCall’s pattern M8029. It wasn’t well received because it didn’t have a lot of details on how to sew the pattern. Even though I changed the title to say it wasn’t a tutorial, it still wasn’t well liked. So, I decided to take it down and planned on making a new video. It’s been over a year since I did this, but I haven’t uploaded a new video. I thought I would be able to release a new video about the pattern, but I didn’t. Since the video is taking…

An Important Update on The McCall’s 8029 Pattern Video
Hi everyone. So, I have some bad new about the progress in making another video making for the McCall’s 8029 pattern: I haven’t even started sewing the pattern. I already purchased new fabric and recorded some of it, but things started to happen in my offline life that prevented me from sewing. I thought these things would have cleared up by now, but they haven’t. So, I’m unable to sew like I originally planned to. I thought I would have a video already edited and ready to be published by June, but that didn’t happen. I wanted to write this post because I don’t like it when someone promises something…

An Update About My Video “Sew With Me: McCall’s 8029”: What Happened to The Video and Future Video Plans
It’s been over three years since I uploaded a video to my YouTube channel. In that time, a lot has changed for me both online and offline. I still want to continue uploading more videos and have plans for videos but right now is still not a good time to work on them. Even though I’m going through a season in my life where I struggle to maintain a YouTube channel, I have focused on my blogs. This is why when I received alerts from YouTube that one of my videos received more comments about it, I was surprised… and upset. The video was originally called Sew With Me: McCall’s…

League of Legends Pajama Party Star Guardian Lux Inspired Sewing Pattern
Hi everyone! Halloween is this week and, if you are a long-time reader of this blog, then you know I used to make costumes and go to conventions. For many years, I decided to not bother making costumes or go to conventions like I once did. I just needed to focus on other things and I didn’t feel motivated nor inspired to make costumes like I once had been. Also, the convention scene changed so much I didn’t want to go anymore. Especially in costume! Despite this, I wanted to dabble in costume making again for years. The problem is I didn’t know what I wanted to make or work…

Sewing Plans for November 2024
Hi everyone! I can’t believe it is almost November! This year has been busy for me and has included some high points and low points. October was no different. Even though I had some major high points and some very unsettling lows, I was able to sew more than I thought I would be. I am happy that I have made progress in some of my quilt projects and already drafted the changes to a sewing pattern I want to use. Even though October was supposed to be a major sewing month for me with even more projects started and finishes, it didn’t turn out to be a complete flop…

A Post About Indi Sewing Patterns and Why I Like Them So Much
Hi everyone! I am the proud owner of many (Probably too many) sewing patterns. I amassed my collection over the years and am very happy with my collection. Since 2020, I began to shift my attention away from commercial patterns from the big 4 pattern companies to smaller Indi brand pattern companies I found on Etsy. I have used some of the Indi brand patterns before, but I don’t talk about them online. To be honest, I really love the Indi brand patterns. Their styles are on trend, yet unique. They can also come in a very large variety of sizes, which I love. I am borderline plus size in…

A Few Sewing and Craft Things I’m Working on This Month- July 2024
Hi everyone! This year has been interesting. Every year has been interesting, but this year has included new experiences. One of those experiences is to work on my house. I finished painting my bathroom a few months ago and I’m still stunned it looks as good as it does. Even though painting my bathroom and other diy repairs around my house are not diy crafts, I’m feeling very proud of my work and progress on it! Since I’ve been working on my house, I haven’t had time or energy to work on anything but the house. Even though it is halfway through the month, I decided to slow down on…
