Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope you have been enjoying your week – it’s almost the weekend!! With our winter wonderland, we’re thinking of staying indoors with a good book and some hot cider by the fireplace this weekend. Ahh, bliss. We’ve been super into the holiday spirit, and are having a cookie exchange at the office today – sugar cookies, toffee & white chocolate cookies, ginger cookies,…oh yum! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some wonderful Star Wars pouches by Jolene Ko that we found on Instagram, and just had to share. Jolene loves to sew and create, and chooses fabric collections that are cool, unique, and on the quirky side. She shares her current creations on her Instagram, as well as her other social media sites, and is in the processing of developing her own products. We saw this zipper pouch (seen below) that Jolene tweaked from this tutorial, and thinks it is awesome!

Jolene chose our Angry Birds Star Wars and Star Wars Collections to create her zipper pouches, and we adore the designs that she chose. The pouch would be the perfect thing to organize a larger handbag, keep your receipts together, or for keeping your tablet safe. It would also make for a great gift! Such lovely pouches, Jolene!! :)

Thank you so much for tagging us on Instagram, Jolene! You can follow her on Facebook Page to get updates of her new ventures, as well as on Pinterest and her blog. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. We’re glad to be indoors today – the snow has officially come upon us, and we are getting LOTS of it this week.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a great day – it’s National Pastry Day…which means we should probably get ourselves some yummy treats. I mean, it’s a national holiday…so we have to, right? ;) We’ll take an apple and cheese turnover, with extra whipped cream please!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring a super stylish tutorial for our Twin Pillows. Changing up your pillows, whether it be your couch or bed pillows, are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to add some new flair to a space. We love rotating pillows for the different seasons and holidays, as it gives us a fun opportunity to decorate often, while being budget-friendly. Making your own pillows also allows you to choose the designs and colors you want so that the decor you’ve envisioned can come to life…

We adore our Twin Pillows Tutorial because they are unique, modern, and you create (for those who like quicker projects) two pillows from one tutorial. We also provide two different versions in the tutorial, so you can mix it up and have an array of beautiful pillows for your home! We love it with our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee collection, because the white and black prints can be incorporated into just about any decor.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and are having a good day back. It’s been chilly these days, but that didn’t stop us from heading out for some winter fun! Early Christmas celebrations, ice skating, and delicious crepes were some of our favorite activities from the weekend.

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Botanical Collection by Alisse Courter. Botanical is a wonderful collection of all things flora – the intricate floral, leaves, twigs, and damask prints are all stunning in a green, grey, and golden color palette. This brooding collection is warm and captivating, the rich tones reminding us of all things woods-y and autumnal. Botanical would make for a wonderful shift dress, for a garden party, with an accompanying headpiece. And how majestic would a Botanical quilt be, as a bed cover or wall decor – oh, so divine!

We adore Noon by Noor‘s Spring 2014 collection – it had a wonderfully feminine and soft feel to it, in both colors and texture. Silks, rose ruffles, tulle, extravagant jewels, and flora patterns were impeccable and made us want to twirl around & dance in any of the outfits! They were made for a magical night out. We especially adore this leaf printed dress, that reminds us of our Botanical Collection. We would definitely wear this stunning dress to our next fancy affair! ;)

We hope we have added a boost to your day, and have inspired you with our Moody Monday! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
