as seen on...

Hey y'all, have you seen my mug elsewhere in the sewing blogoverse today?

If you follow Cation Designs -- and you should -- then maybe you witnessed me taking over her blog today while she's off traipsing around with the Euro types. In my guest post I give some tips and tricks on how to sew with chiffon, our notorious fabric nemesis. These are sewasaurus tips, you see, but hopefully they're helpful nonetheless! I was able to cut, sew and narrow-hem the above scarf without taking any casualties, so maybe that says something.

Go forth and sew yer chiffon.

guest post: house shoes tutorial

Hey, I made shoes! Kinda. Check it out... I have a guest post on Megan Ta Da today, sharing a tutorial on how to make some summer slippers. Megan's a sewing/art/travel/awesome blogger who's currently studying art in a stone village in the south of France for the summer. Boring, right? Because of the theme of her blog, I wanted to incorporate my own travel memories into my sewing, so I made some Japanese-inspired house shoes. Japan's the only foreign country off North America I've visited, actually. Seems like I need to cross the sea more, but why leave my home when I can putter around in these cute slippers all day?

Is your home a shoes-off zone?
