DIY Ironing Board Cover

I got to looking at my ironing board cover the other day... and boy... was it boring and dirty. For something I use so often and is always present in my sewing room I decided I needed to change this dire situation. So I took to the floor (literally it's a big thing and I had to cut on the floor) to work out how to make a new one and it was surprisingly successful! I wanted to give you all a quick and dirty DIY on what I did so you can upgrade too!! First- Not every ironing...

Rocking Rory in Rockerbye!

Yes I know- I get a little corny with my titles but I can't help it!! Today's pattern feature is a bit dear to my heart because well- I designed it! Obviously I should love it but, I like, EXTRA love it and wanted to share it with you all with a bonus chance to win the pattern for free!

It's available in women's and youth sizing. Women's Rory comes with this super awesome...

Sewing Peonies and Rainbows

If you haven't seen it by now, Rockerbye is running the sweetest rainbow print ever with proceeds being donated to the One's People Project and I knew it needed to be a special sew!

It's designed for knits which is what I had for my rainbows and knew it'd be the perfect option. Oh I was not disappointed! Not only is it adorable but a very quick sew...

A Rockerbye Rainbow

So- you know when you find a pattern that just screams "Use your precious Rockerbye for me!!!" It doesn't happen often but let me tell you- the patterns I'm sharing today were made for Rockerbye!! Not literally but you get the point. I'm talking about the new Max and Meena Rainbow Falls Hoodie and Rainbow Falls Dress. Absolutely fun whimsical patterns packed with options that as you may have already guessed- mimics a rainbow! The best part about it- not a rainbow fan?? No problem- depending on your fabric choices it just makes for cool color blocking too! Now, let's...

Sew Your Scraps with Ellie and Mac!

I know I can't be the only one out there that hoards their Rockerbye scraps right?? Like even the tiniest ones?? Well I recently sewed up the most epic running top that was perfect for all those scraps! In fact- it's even in the name of the pattern! The Sew Scrappy Top from Ellie and Mac Patterns! I had some of this gorgeous athletic fabric from the pre order happening right now but not quite enough for a whole top. I found some pride grid and plain black athletic scraps hidden in my stash I knew would be perfect. I'm...
