When I heard that my good friend, Keera, had designed some fabric, I just had to get some for myself from Spoonflower! The saturated colours of Rose Gold are right up my alley, and pink with navy? Yum! But being Spoonflower, it’s not the cheapest place to buy fabric, so I came up with a plan. Spoonflower fabrics come as… Read More
Good morning, folks! It’s Tuesday again, which means it’s time to talk about all things Sew Cute.

I love that we got two charm packs, and… Read More
I’m rather glad that it’s my turn to share a tutorial again, because it forced me to pick up my overstuffed plastic folder of patterns and fabric and actually make one of them! First time in months, although international moves closely followed by an interstate move will do that to your sewing. It’s also “interesting” trying to take blog photos… Read More
Happy Tuesday, folks! I had a very productive Saturday, getting some quilting and piecing done. And that’s been about it for sewing this week! I’m enjoying spending so much time with my mother-in-law, which means lots of coffee trips. Ahhh, it’s the hard life 😉 Although reality is setting in quickly now, as we finally have a start date for… Read More
