http://www.50sqftstudios.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
50 sq ft studios. Achieving big sewing dreams in a small space. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. I made something that wasn't a quilt or a bag! Yeah, it really does happen. :).

So, the best way to get around that is to make my own. I found a pattern that I liked, The Perfect T-Shirt from Pamela's Patterns. Collection, 2 jerseys from Katy Jones' Priory Square. I did...

50 sq ft studios. Achieving big sewing dreams in a small space. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Gotta keep 'em separated (the 2 inch squares for my Anchors Aweigh quilt, that is).

50 sq ft studios: November 2014
http://www.50sqftstudios.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
50 sq ft studios. Achieving big sewing dreams in a small space. Friday, November 28, 2014. Review: Tudor Bag by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness. So, I'm back with another bag review (major shocker, I know)! I've chosen to review Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness. Newest pattern, the Tudor Bag. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the name was chosen because the bag on the pattern cover uses fabric from Tula Pink'. The fabric requirements are easy for this one. The pattern calls for a yard of fabric...

http://snippetsofsweetness.blogspot.com/2015/07/bittersweet-shards-wall-quilt.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Bittersweet Shards Wall Quilt. This May, I had the opportunity to take Krista Hennebury. 8217;s Improv Under the Influence class at Drygoods Design. I would have taken the class alone, but was thrilled when I learned that my mom. Since Krista had us come with our fabric precut, the project started coming along quickly and I left with a quilt top that was approximately a third complete, which was very satisfying. Series by Brandon Sanderson, and it was all Shardplate this and Shardb...
