I don’t normally do New Year resolutions. But I am also a bit OCD in that I’m a planner. I was thinking about what direction I wanted to take my sewing business and now that I’m not bogged down in the architectural exams, have also been lamenting on development of my sewing skills. I’ve been ...
UPDATE 2 (November 2018): Life has calmed down slightly for me which means this is a priority for me to re-film. I’m shooting for mid December as I have a lot of waistbands to sew for Christmas! UPDATE: I have appreciated a lot of the constructive feedback received but have decided to pull the video. ...
I purchased my first coverstitch machine about a year ago. The Janome 1000cpx. It is a fantastic machine but I could not fall in love with it like others have. It sure sewed a mean hem but every time I tried to do anything more than 2 layers of fabric, I always prepared myself for ...

You may best know A Stitch Upon A Time from their Scrundlewear Ladies Underwear pattern. She recently released the Fix Bundle pairing the cami pattern with their thong pattern…which is what I really wanted to try. Considering my butt shot from the pants pattern I tested has at least three times more views than any ...
With a full time job outside of the home, time is very precious. So sewing is my outlet and my stress relief, which is part of why I maintain Red Dog Studio, but I also find much joy in creating for my own children when I can find the time. So hit me up with ...
I first heard about the Clover Fabric Folding Pen in a sewing group I’m in. Being as it’s a gadget, and I love gadgets, I had to try it. But I work with knits, not wovens, and thought I’d better try it out anyways even though it’s heavily marketed towards quilters. The thing is amazing. ...
It’s that time of year again. The time of year where I have every good intention of adding a home made touch to my Christmas presents. But, without fail, every year I run out of time. Then come January I think: I’m going to make one item a month and stockpile for the year….yeah. That ...
