April showers bring May flowers... too bad we still have 2 feet of snow outside and not a chance of rain in the forecast!! Might as well spend some time at the sewing machine. Check out what I made in March, and what I have planned for April & May.

Hey & Welcome! I'm Kate, a self-taught sewist turned content creator, and this is where I teach you everything I know about sewing and we learn more together along the way. I'm passionate about eco-friendly, minimalist strategies and LOVE me a good upcycle or thrift project.

Thanks so much for coming along, and don't forget to subscribe!
