This week I was given the opportunity to make bereavement gowns for our local IHC's Angel Watch Bereavement Program. It was part of a project my church group decided to participate in and I was lucky enough to be involved.If I understand it correctly these gowns will be used to clothe babies who are born prematurely and pass away either prior to delivery or shortly there after. These babies are cleaned, dressed in these gowns and then returned to their mothers to say goodbye. How my heart ... View the Post

"God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December." ---James Matthew Barrie Time goes by too quickly. In my mind I just had Ruth..but "just had" just happens to be several months ago now.

But there were some crazy make-it-work moments during the process of sewing this coat, and it just didn't happen. I did, however, finally finish it up this weekend and am ready to show you all my outerwear project from last week's Project Run & Play theme. So, I give you..... This coat is a pattern remix from a 1960's pattern (that I, of course, forgot to take a picture of--it's been ... View the Post
