Brassie Joggers SewAlong: LIVE
Whew! I did it! My first LIVE SewAlong! Apart from my husband stepping on and embedding a sewing machine needle in his foot halfway through (sorry honey!), I think it went pretty well! I loved the opportunity to interact with the viewers and answer questions in real time. It is so satisfying to watch someone…
Read MoreSew What Do I Wear: Vacation Edition!
You know how when you were a kid you counted down the days until summer vacation? Well, I’m a few years out of high school (haha! Let’s not start guessing how old I am m’kay?) and I still love to count down the days until summer. It’s my favorite season- a smorgasbord of flip flops, barbecues and…

Read MoreSewing Staples: The Green Tee
Its fun to sew fancy clothing, with intricate details and a big wow factor. But that’s not what I wear on a daily basis. What I wear on a daily basis, are T shirts. Sure, I could buy an ill fitting and poorly constructed one at target for $15, but it would fall apart after…
Read MoreBrassie Jogger Hacks: Stretch Woven Brassies!
Every so often, someone asks if the Brassie Joggers (made before here and here and here) can be made in a woven material. I initially dismissed this idea, as possible but nuts- who would want to wear woven instead of a soft comfy knit? I changed my tune when another reviewer posted a photo of…
