Origami Oasis Fawn Lily Dress by EmmylouBeeDoo!
The talented Sarah of EmmylouBeeDoo! (remember the Shandiin Tunic?) created this sweet Fawn Lily dress for her daughter with Pride and Fold from Origami Oasis. I love that she opted for the bolder colour way of these fabrics for this pretty dress. Head on over to her blog to see more and to find out […]

Origami Oasis – Starry Migration Quilt
When I was originally designing Origami Oasis, I imagined it full of luscious colour, as I do just about all my work. Part way through the process Kathy Miller of Michael Miller suggested adding a black and white grouping, as many of the prints were so graphic. I was initially a little hesitant, but once […]
Origami Oasis – Shandiin Tunic and Giveaway

Origami Oasis – Stand Tall Dress

She loves learning and treasures being back among her friends whom she hasn’t seen all summer. Oh, and she loves getting dressed […]

Courtney Portner created a Quiet Time inspired slumber party for her daughter this summer. It all revolved around this collection. The fabric goodies included bunting, bookmarks, party hats, sleeping […]

Sewing with Janome
I am a lucky girl. I have partnered with Janome Canada to sew with their MC8200 machine, which they have provided for my use over the next year. I will be creating some fun tutorials for you based on some of my favourite features that this machine has to offer (most of which you can […]
