**  The Moto Jacket is now a pattern!  Get it in my shop and make your own cool Moto Jacket!** I titled this REduce, REuse, REfashion because refashioning fits well into our family dynamic.  We are dedicated recyclers, we compost every scrap of kitchen waste we can, and we use gDiapers all to help to {…Continue Reading}
Yay! I did it again! I was able to pull off another last minute entry for the sew along for Season 7 of Project Run & Play… I was planning to skip this week because I wasn’t coming up with anything inspired by candy and I refuse to sew something just to have an entry. But {…Continue Reading}
I wasn’t at all sure I’d have anything to share for the Week 1 sewalong for Season 7 of Project Run & Play. I’ve had a slew of Etsy orders and some with shipping deadlines in addition to the work I’ve been doing on the big build for my Sawdust Extravaganza prize. So, this was {…Continue Reading}

This is the final challenge for Project Run & Play, which means I accomplished my goal of participating in the sew along each week! Ahhh… The Signature Look. What is my signature look? That’s the first thing I had to ponder when planning this style. Refashioning is my favorite type of project, so I knew {…Continue Reading}
I can’t believe it’s week 5 of Project Run & Play and the accompanying sew along! The competitors are making amazing looks and it’s been so so fun to play along. This week’s theme is the Men’s Dress Shirt challenge. Lucky for me, hubby Dave has recently lost a significant amount of weight and no longer {…Continue Reading}
This is my entry for week four for the Project Run & Play sew along – Love is in the Air theme. I focused my design around sisterly love and made my daughters Arden and Hadley matching twirly skirts. Since they both love their new dollies, Rose and Clementine also got matching skirts. The skirts are {…Continue Reading}
When I decided to sew along for Project Run & Play, I had a few points I set for myself to try to follow: I wanted to complete a project for each week, I wanted to try to use materials I had on hand as much as possible, and I wanted to only make things {…Continue Reading}
