Long time, no post! Completely accidental. I got completely sidetracked by visits to family over the holidays (my family and the BF's), as well as getting caught up on things around home.

Holiday Gift Sewing
I decided to sew a few things for various people over the holidays. Pretty much people that I have no idea what else to get them, so something handmade seems more appropriate than a giftcard or a hug. One of these people is my boyfriend's mother, who I will be meeting for the first time … Continue reading Holiday Gift Sewing

I don't have the chance to attend many fancy events, so I didn't want to drop a lot of money on this. Instead, I turned to my fabric stash and utilized material that … Continue reading Cambie does Jersey
Star Wars Cambie Dress
I finally had a chance to wear my Star Wars dress at Dallas Fan Days. I’ve been meaning to post about this dress for a while now. Originally, I decided to make this dress and wear it for Star Wars Reads Day at work. Planning fell through, and we didn’t wind up having an “event” … Continue reading Star Wars Cambie Dress
