It’s National Sewing Month and for my 1stproject this month I am highlighting JoAnn Fabrics cotton apparel. JOANN Fabrics has a nice array of cotton fabric, and it was hard to choose. As some of you may know my process when it comes to sewing it involves many trips to the fabric store, paroozing magazines, Pinterest and just looking to be inspired by the fabric, events I must attend or my personal fashion style. Often, I sketch a look with the fabric in mind and think about ways that the fabric can be used. Let’s get into this look....
While scrolling through Instagram I immediately stopped on this ad. The image of this skirt, the sleeves, the color instantly got me out of bed and off to sketching. I wanted this look and I wanted it right away. Has that ever happened to you? Have you ever seen a look or pinned something and then wanted to instantly make it? Well it did that day and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Off to my sewing studio I went. I started going through patterns that I felt would bring this look to life. I had a...
This was a fun project to work on. When JoAnn Fabrics reached out about the outdoor campaign I immediately said YES! Why you ask? Have you seen my backyard?

Well, this project and the gorgeous solarium fabrics have me excited to not only entertain outside, but to redecorate. I...
It’s Women’s History Month and one of my favorite months in the year.

Making your own clothes is very empowering, it allows you to be creative, sew ornate garments share your style, craft and create moments in fashion that tell a story. The clothes I make are...
To celebrate Black History Month this year with JoAnn fabrics I decided to do a fun project and include my kids. We love wearing stylish sweatshirts, from mixing prints to fun designs, we even enjoy jazzing them up a bit with embellishments. I wanted to do something that I and the kids could wear to celebrate Black History Month but also wear 365 days of the year. Having roots from Ghana, West Africa I have always been surrounded by African Wax Print, Dutch Wax Print, Woven Kente and Ghanaian textiles. I truly love the vibrancy and rich history of...
