Lakeisha Cottage Top & Dress Ruffle Hack
Hi, my friends! Long time, no see. It’s been one of those seasons of life where I have to do more of a bunch of other things and less sewing. It makes me feel so good when I get back to it, especially when it’s to sew something I really love, like the newly released…
PRP Mini Season 3: A Casual Color Block
Hi everyone! Glad to see you here. For those who may not know, I competed in Season 25 of Project Run + Play and made it to the final three! It was fun, albeit stressful at times, but was such a lovely experience. Imagine my surprise when I was invited back to compete in Mini…
Ruffle Puff Sleeve Hack
One of my favorite (and one of the easiest) ways to change up a top or dress is by modifying the sleeves. I do it pretty often on tried and trues, new patterns, you name it. This was no different for the Diana Top* I made recently for date night. The pattern comes with some…
Feel Pretty Shirred Waistband Hack
Shirring has always been one of those things that intrigued me. Garments with the technique always look adorable, and it gives a little wiggle room in the event of shifting weight/size throughout the month. I got this super simple shirred yoke maxi skirt to wear during summer, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how I…

6 Life Lessons I Learned While Sewing
When I first started really sewing clothing in 2017, it was mostly something to do with my time while being a SAHM. Soon after, I began to experience immense joy at things fitting me better than the store, at being able to make one-of-a-kind things for myself and the fam, and the overall appreciation I…
Flared Petal Sleeve Tutorial
Hi my friends! I’m back again today with another Hack Your Pattern installment. In today’s post, I will show you how to take a regular sleeve pattern and modify it into a petal sleeve, and then modify that one into a flared petal. I’m using a knit pattern, the Staycation Peplum and Dress from Ellie…
Add a Ruffle to a Wrap Dress
Hi y’all! It’s been a while since I shared a pattern hack with ya, so that’s what I’m here with today. The Marieke Wrap Dress* pattern recently released at Ellie and Mac, and I immediately envisioned adding a ruffle to the short sleeve version. I will preface this by saying, this is actually one hack…
