  • Waverly Fabric for Pajama Tops (And Potentially Other Projects)

    December 1, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! It’s December, which means many things to me. One of the non holiday related things is that it’s time to work on making myself new pajamas. I decided to make myself some pajama tops using Waverly 100% cotton fabric I purchased from Walmart. I think this is the most economical and logical way to find fabric for my tops. (Well, right now it does) Also, I plan on using two different designs for my top. They will match pajama shorts that I plan on making in the future.

  • Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: Cutting Out Pieces & Thoughts on Cutting Them Out of Bed Sheets

    November 14, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! Over a year ago, I planned on publishing more posts about my sewing progress creating Vogue Patterns’ V2004. I got sidetracked while writing the posts, so I ended up leaving them as drafts. Over a year later, I decided to finish writing the posts. In that time, I decided to scrap my old version of the dress and make a new one. I really didn’t like the way it fit in the chest, so I decided to remake it. I cut out all the pieces… and that’s as far as I’ve gotten in making it. Even though the posts I worked are for the first version of the…

  • All The Waverly 1 Yard Pre Cut Coordinating Fabric Designs I Don’t Have Projects For

    November 12, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! While going through the photographs I uploaded onto this blog to use for posts, I found some photographs of Waverly fabric I purchased at Walmart. I could clearly tell intended on using for a future post. The problem is I don’t know what the sewing projects are! I decided that if I don’t use them for a post, I’ll delete them so there will be more space for other photographs. After a lot of thought, I decided to use all the photographs in one big post, showing off the fabrics, how well they coordinate with each other, and what I probably was thinking of using them for.

  • Disney x Thomas Kinkade Mickey and Minnie Mouse Quilt Panel- Fabric and Future Plans

    November 10, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! A few years ago, I noticed the Walmart location I normally shop at had a fabric panel for sale. It is part of the Disney x Thomas Kinkade collection. It features Micky and Minnie Mouse on a picnic, as depicted by Thomas Kinkade Studios. I really liked this panel, but I thought I didn’t need another fabric panel to work on. After walking by it for many months, I decided to purchase it and a coordinating fabric to create a wall hanger.

  • Romantic Scrappy Block Quilt- The Fabric and Cutting Out the Pieces

    November 7, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! A few months ago, I decided to buy fabric from Walmart to make myself new quilts. I had my eye on certain fabric colors and designs as well as fat quarter bundles. After taking them home, I decided to start sewing the quilts. Sadly, my life became very busy very quickly. So, I set them aside to focus on more important matters. While searching through my blog post drafts, I found the photographs of the progress I made making one of the quilts. I called the quilt the Romantic Scrappy Block Quilt due to the fabric colors and designs as well as the design I want to make…

  • Red Pickup Truck Quilt Panel- What It (Kind of) Looks Like and Plans

    November 7, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! A few years ago, I had an idea to make myself wall hangings out of fabric. The plan was to buy fabric panels for quilting and turn them into wall hangings. I have already mentioned this before in previous posts (You can read about one of them here). Although I started working on them, I never finished all the wall hangings I had planned. They have since sat around and waited until I have time to work on them. Right now I’m in the process of prioritizing my sewing and other DIY projects. This is when I came across all my fabric panels. After some thought, I decided…

    Hi everyone! Since I published my last post, I’m still trying to use Canva as my blog photo editing software program. It’s been interesting to say the least and I’m still slow about editing the photographs. For the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to edit photographs for posts. That hasn’t worked out as I hoped it would. So, I’m going to start publishing posts about the fabric I’ve been collecting for a few years. My plan is to talk about the fabric and what I plan on doing with them. I finished editing the photographs for these posts before I started to have software problems. The first of these…

    Hi everyone! After a bad month of setbacks and other problems, I finally have some time to write the last post about my navy and yellow log cabin quilt! Months ago, I finished quilting and binding the quilt. As of this post the turquoise and grey quilt still needs to be quilted, so I won’t be able to talk about this quilt’s sister in a post for a while.
