Introducing my first skirt pattern: the Golden Autumn Skirt! I made this skirt last year, but it’s taken me a while to get it all written up. I’ve also been debating how and when to release it, and I finally decided to go ahead and publish it on my blog. There’s still some work to do, but later on I’ll …
This blouse was actually the very first thing I made from a pattern after learning to sew. When my dad went to take care of things at my grandmother’s house after she passed away, he came home with a box full of sewing patterns that she had used when my mother was growing up. This pattern was among them. My …
There are less than two weeks left in the countdown to Christmas. I just realized I haven’t yet had the chance to wear my velvet Christmas dress I made last year. I’ll have to make sure I do that. I’ve been very busy these days with a list of projects I’ve been working on for Christmas. This post and project …
I didn’t realize until yesterday how close Thanksgiving was. I was planning to post this earlier, but a lot of things got in my way and I couldn’t finish it. Hopefully, there’s still time to make this for tomorrow. I know many people consider cranberry sauce to be a staple with turkey dinner. If you’re anything like me, you used …
It seems things on my Lekala project page are a little out of order. My last two projects I posted about were done in February and April of 2018, but this one I actually did in December 2017.

After making it and seeing the skirt, I knew that I had to have more circle skirts in my wardrobe. In February my sister went shopping and brought home a whole lot …
For as long as I can remember, chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs have always been included in our Easter baskets. In recent years, however, I’ve begun more and more to notice a bit of an off-taste in a lot of store-bought things, and marshmallow eggs were one of them. Still, even though I have a recipe for marshmallows in a cookbook, I …
Last year when I took a trip to a different city with my family, I had a hotel card key that I needed to carry. However, my clothes didn’t have any pockets, and I didn’t want to be carrying my purse with me everywhere I went, whether to the beach, walking around the city, or just staying at the hotel. …
Crochet, Free PatternHere is the scarf to match the Ribbed Crochet Hat I made for my boyfriend. The pattern couldn’t be simpler; just alternating front and back post double crochet stitches that create a ribbed design reminiscent of knit. This is even easier than the hat, as it is just a long rectangle without any increases. It can be done any width …
