I haven’t made anything since this outfit. Anything. In fact, our remodel that never ends has just extended itself so I won’t get my machines unpacked for a bit longer. Though I will be on the Craft Book Month tour next week so I’d better find at least one machine so I can get working! I’m also scheduled to sew this, this, this, and this. Yikes! I need to get working!

I know it seems like I’ve been moving forever. I think I have been. Our belongings have been packed for a month and a half but, hopefully, this time next week I’ll begin unpacking some boxes. Yes!! Seriously cannot wait.

Did you see what I made last week?
You can find the tutorial for the wrap high/low top here and the ruffled leggings tutorial here. These tutorials are universal so you can make them in any size, large or small!
I also managed to update my About page. It had been a while and it was really uninformative. You can now find out all sorts of random facts about me as well as learn about what sewing machines and camera I use.

There are a lot of reasons to be sewing right now! Kids Clothes Week is in full swing. As is the Spring Top Sew Along. I haven't really been sewing. I've been doing internet searches for houses. For the record, it is incredibly hard to figure out where to live if you've never been to somewhere.
P.S. MASSIVE sale in the pattern store for the Grand Reopening! Go check it out!

I haven't touched my sewing machine in 2 weeks. I know for some of you that's unthinkable. I've been doing some behind the scenes work on the pattern shop and all those changes should be live next week. Fingers crossed! We've been working around the clock to get it completed and I'm ready to move on to the next project!
This week there were some fun Casual Lady sightings! Kirsten from Kojo Designs made this simple and adorable version. Of course, everything she does is amazing. Cute belt! Go see the rest of her photos.
Speaking of amazing, Stefanie from Girl, Inspired also made a Casual Lady. Love this one. It looks fantastic in this print. And THANK YOU to both of you ladies for sharing this cause and helping raise money for She's Worth It. Mwah!

Thank you to so many of you who are posting about the Casual Lady!! Here are some of them I've spotted this week:
On left: Casual Lady by Veronica from Sew Very. She's a busy lady! Have you seen all the amazing things she's been sewing lately? Wowza!
On right: Cathy from Crafts, Etc. made this cute Casual Lady with chevron fabric from Girl Charlee. Cathy wrote the sweetest review. Thanks!
On left: Casual Lady by Heather from The Sewing Loft. Love her cute pattern weights! If you're not familiar with The Sewing Loft you're missing out.
On right: Amanda The Funny of Kitschy Coo fame made a reversible Casual Lady. What? This is like the best shirt for moms of newborns. Ha! If you aren't familiar with Amanda your life isn't complete. Hop on over and check out her awesome blog and shop. If you're looking for incredible (colorful) knit fabric she's got you covered.
Unrelated: Are you following the She's Worth It Facebook page? Many of the bracelets and zipper pouches you've made are being handed out by Brandi right now. (She's also selling separate bracelets for the cause so don't get confused when she asks if you want to buy one!). She's taking short videos daily and sharing about India, Thailand and Cambodia. (note: we have tons more that didn't get sent on this trip and I'll be giving more details about everything in a full post soon!)
I can't wait to see what you've been making! I love checking out all your posts!

I feel like I say this every week but it's been another busy week for me but I can't share what I'm making! I will, hopefully, have a few new patterns out next week for you! And speaking of patterns, I have a free one for all my newsletter subscribers! Make sure you sign up! I'll be sending it out in the next week.

This week I've been busy sharing things I made last week. I've made 5 Beachy Boatnecks so far. The three I made for my son took only 90 minutes. And it is seriously one of my favorite patterns, ever. Then on Monday I shared a couple Carousel Tops I made my daughters. The Carousel Tops were seen in their natural habitat. Tuesday I shared a couple Boardwalk Skirts. I forgot to share this one. It is pretty much my favorite thing ever.
When I was making it I was a bit unsure about whether any of my girls would wear a skirt with kitchen gadgets on it. The always wise, Katy Dill, told me to attach a cute little charm to the skirt that can be hidden in a pocket. Well, I never got to the pocket but they love the key! You can find the Boardwalk Skirt pattern here.

I took a little blogging break last week but now I’m back at it! Did you see my cloth napkins tutorial over on Go To Sew last weekend? Would anyone do me a favor and pin it? I also showed them off here where I affectionately coined them “lapkins”. You’ll see why. Then Monday I announced the HUGE NEWS of my new collaborative efforts with Kate, Shauna and Melissa in creating PatternAnthology.com. Our first pattern collection is now available and I think you’ll enjoy it! Then Tuesday I asked for advice about an Easter table and I could still use a little feedback. And most importantly, Tuesday kicked off the Make This Look series here! So far we’ve had Miriam and Justine share and I can’t wait for the rest!

I took a little blogging break this week. It's been nice! Last week was a busy week with all the menswear posts. Did you see them? I'm especially proud of my Man Shorts. But make sure you check out the menswear roundup. So many fun projects people have blogged about!
I have another fun series starting next week. You'll have to check back Monday to find out what it is!

This week I've been sewing up quite a storm. I can't share a lot of it with you yet but there are a few fun things I can.
I made this ruffle knit skirt with attached leggings for my daughter after I made a skirt for myself. Ruffle knit fabric is cute but sheer so I wrote a tutorial about how to make one of these beauties, lined. You can see it HERE. I'm giving away some of that fabric as well so head over there and enter to win. Will you pin it while you're there as well? Thank you!
I shared this cute top on instagram. I whipped it up the other day. It is self drafted and I've worn it two days in a row. I'll be making more. Possibly a pattern as well. We'll see. I have a lot going on right now.
So what have you been making?

I, sadly, have not been sewing or creating much (other than messes) this week. I still have yet to accomplish anything on January's list. It might become February's list as well! I'm hoping to live vicariously though you. Show me what you've been making!

I haven't been sewing much this week. All the work on the new site, the sewing pattern shop and here has me swamped. I hope to sew up some things this weekend. I've got a few new patterns sketched that need to come to life. Skirts anyone? I'm working on a whole line that coordinates with the leggings.
This button code works now. Thanks for all the emails everyone!

How can I make my blog grow?
I get this question a lot! I've been blogging for 5 years and I can tell you it isn't easy! Increasing blog traffic and followers can take years and feel like you're spinning your wheels. There are good ways to speed up the process though and this year I want to help! Here's my answer!
EDITED: Thanks to Jess for pointing out that it is 2013! HA!
Do you want to be featured on Social Media Friends? I need volunteers! I'll be publishing a short bio and links to your profile so people can follow along! There will also be a link party so people can link up their own Pinterest/Twitter/Facebook profiles. Care to join in? Leave a comment letting me know which social media is your favorite! We'll be starting next Monday!
I'm excited to help you this year! With Make It Wear It, Featuring You and Social Media Friends we'll be sure to increase your following!
