A Little About Me!

Hi, I'm Laura! 

I am a mama of two boys, Daniel and Luke. They are my world! You'll probably see them A LOT here, because I plan to share a lot of my sewing projects and creations. They are the primary reason I sew!   
I enjoy sewing, pattern testing, trying new things, cooking, and trying new recipes, so I thought it might be fun to write about these things! This will be my blog to share things I make – whether it be food or clothes.  

I want to give credit to my sister, Leah. A good many of the pictures that I share will be by her! She started taking pictures of my babies when they were born, and aims to take a good picture of all of the kids every week, so we usually get plenty of photos of the kids wearing the things I make. It has been fun!  

I really got into sewing shortly after Daniel was born. I wanted to learn how to sew cloth diapers. I made some diapers, and somehow found out about the sewing world on Facebook, and it has been FUN! I've learned so much over the past few years, and have tried all kinds of new things! It wasn't long before I was devoting most of my free time to sewing baby clothes – I preferred the fit of the things I was making – They actually fit over the cloth diapers and looked good, where a lot of our store-bought things didn’t. So, this is a little about me, and how and why I got started. Now, I'm just hooked.  

I love sewing! I love PDF sewing patterns. I love fabric! 

So, WELCOME

The Tank Dress 3-ways by Pattern Emporium

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens!  But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post. If you choose to purchase a Pattern from Pattern Emporium using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The pattern I tested is from Pattern Emporium. I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I
