Here is the matching beanie for the Aran Scarf. Both of these I made for my brother to match the sweater my younger sister knitted him for Christmas. The Aran Beanie features cables for its center design, while the rest of it is done in a moss pattern to mirror the look of the sweater. Aran Beanie Crochet Pattern Skill …
This is another skirt I made for my older sister, probably back in 2020 as a Christmas present. It is a free sewing pattern from Lekala, and it was actually one of the first patterns I downloaded, but I never got around to making it. Finally, when I needed to make something as another present, I decided to make this. …
Again, it’s been a little while since I posted. My boyfriend came to visit for a few weeks, so I just kind of forgot about everything else during that time. Now that he’s gone back, I guess it’s time to get back to my regular schedule. Here’s hoping I can be consistent with my posts. I have a lot of …
Remember my purple velvet circle skirt? I made that in 2020, which is now such a long time ago. I’m guessing it was that same year at Christmastime when my younger sister and I were brainstorming gift ideas. We decided to make an outfit for my youngest sister, and this fun and twirly circle skirt in luxurious green velvet was …
Here is another project from before. This one was made in November 2019. After making the pink blouse and the green blouse from this Lekala sewing pattern, I decided to make one for myself. Once again, I adjusted the pattern for the collar to tighten it and raise it more, after seeing that the modification I did for the green …

It was then that I realized that her measurements are very similar and it would fit her. So after finishing that blouse, I decided to make one for her using the same Lekala pattern. She wanted …
This is the other blouse I made for my older sister along with the blouse with buttons. When I was looking through the Lekala catalog for a couple of blouses to make for her, I came across this pattern for a button-up blouse. I liked the classic look of the buttons and the shape of the yoke. I also like …
This blouse with buttons was a project I made back in 2019 as a birthday present for my older sister. I never posted the project on Lekala or wrote about it until now because I hadn’t been able to take pictures until a few days ago. Writing up the projects such a long time after the fact is not a …
I notice it’s been nearly a month since my last post. Have I done anything since then? Yes, I have. I know I haven’t been doing anything visible here, and I keep regretting neglecting my projects and my blog. It’s true that I have so many things in the works, but it’s just so hard for me to get everything …
I’ve never been one to make new year’s resolutions. Nor am I going to start now. Still, I feel like it is a good opportunity to reflect on things and think about what I want to accomplish this year and what I need to do better than last year. I remember writing a post last year describing everything I wanted …
