I saw an ad on Instagram for some different temporary tattoos from a company called Momentary Ink. These are like your normal temporary tattoos that you give the kids, only it has a “de-glossing” liquid you put over the top of them. They also are “sticky” when you put them on your skin, so they […]
There are times when I am just not interested in lugging my purse around. In these moments, it is nice to have a hip bag that I can put my phone, keys, etc. into and free up my shoulder from the burden of my overstuffed purse. There are TONS of inspiration and ideas on Pinterest […]
I’ve had this fabric since some time last year, and I wanted to make a lighter jacket with it for fall and spring. Something that you could just throw on before going outside if it was a little chilly. I started using a pattern, but I changed it so much that you can’t really call […]
When I was deciding what I wanted to pack for my weekend trip to Cincinnati for our friends’ bar opening, I started to go through my closet. I am definitely in a “black phase”, so I decided to steer myself in that direction. The weather there was a bit warmer than here, so I opted […]
Last weekend I went on the first trip on a plane I have gone on in awhile. I think the last time was maybe 5 years ago. It was just a weekend trip, so I didn’t want to bring my bigger rolling bag, and I thought a backpack would work well. I looked up the […]

Last week’s prompt for the #52weeksewingchallenge was to sew something with a collar. I looked at Pinterest and was going to draft up something new, but then figured I might as well finish a top I had cut out last year. This top is The Perfect Tunic from Wardrobe by Me, and I had cut […]
I seem to have a bit of an affinity for fabrics with skulls on them. Last year Twisted Needle Textiles had the perfect round for me, too! Lots of skulls, so I purchased several different fabrics in different bases and even ordered more when they had a rerun round. This fabric was from the first […]
After going to a job interview downtown, and wanting to bring my laptop over some downtime, I realized that my laptop bag had seen better days. The straps were ripping off the pleather…which happens with pleather. I decided to make myself a new laptop bag out of a white calfhide side I purchased last year […]
