My friend Leya of Curiousbird just made the cutest pair of apartment pants from my pattern, and I just had to share! Check out her blog post for more pics.

Love the fabric- the pants are made from a tapesty she snagged on sale at Urban Outfitters. Best part...I got a pair too! Thanks, Leya!

map quilts!


I love these map blankets, made by Haptic Lab. I think they are so clever, not to mention beautiful. Although they are set up to do Brooklyn neighborhoods, you can get your own for a small fee.

handmade braided trim


I got some great pale pink spandex awhile ago and had some left over from a skirt project I was working on. I decided to braid it and it as a trim to a black dress I already own. Fast and simple!

I have something fancy coming up and rather than pushing myself to finish an entire dress, I think this is going to look really cute when it's finished. Rather than hiding the bad side of the fabric, I let both sides show in the braid, giving it a really great texture.

Twill Tape Stamping





I am going to get this stamp from Small Object, a pile of twill tape, and get to work! This would be a great way to package little gifts.

Fabric deals!


Hey everyone: super hot tip about a new fabric site...

My pal Chris of Wonderboy, the company that makes the cutest little boys clothes, just launched a brand-spanking-new fabric website called Bolt 44. It's a great source for prints you can't get anymore, as well as fabrics that are exclusive to the site. I love that you can sort by color, fabric width, and even pattern. She shows you large, clear photos of each fabric swatch, and also tells you how much she has in stock in case you're working on a big project. And with most fabrics priced at under $8 a yard, it's hard to click away from the site without getting a little something!

Happy shopping!
