(mentioned here) I saw this and had to make one. I bought 24 of these (I wanted the 4X6 size but they were out and I’m impatient so I went for the 5X7′s instead) and then went crazy with the duct tape. Final result?

We found Bennett wedged like this yesterday morning. I got a summons for jury duty yesterday afternoon and feel much the same way. Bennett’s exclusively a boob man.

My sewing room is a disaster. I’ve started tidying and cleaning, but that means dealing with a lot of unfinished projects. A LOT. For example, I started this purse over a year ago. I hate the handles, so I never finished. I can’t decide if it’s worth working on some more or if I should […]

I made this bag for a friend. She picked the fabrics. I think they’re Alexander Henry, but I bought them a very long time ago for a dress for Macy so I’m not quite sure. The inside: Tutorial and pattern here. It’s a little small (keep in mind I pack around a diaper bag called […]
