I’m so excited to share my Ash & Elm makes with you!A little bit about me: My Mom is South Korean and my Dad is Caucasian.

UGH I had to reject ANOTHER challenge 😫 I HATE that I've had to reject two challenges so far, but in all honesty the fact that I've sewn something up every week for this challenge is better than I have EVER done! And I do need to cut myself some slack because I have accepted 3/4ths of the challenges so far 💕 My original plan was to make these Fabric Boxes from Make It Love It to help me better organize my scrap stash, but again life got in the way. Remember all those deadlines I mentioned last week? Well I...

I have to admit I had a totally different plan set aside for this weeks Sewing Challenge, but life got in the way and I had to change plans last minute. At first I thought I was going to have to reject yet another challenge, but it turns out that the stars alligned and I was actually able to ACCEPT!! Originally I was planning on sewing up the first pattern I ever made.... The Jolly Roger Raglan from Patterns for Pirates*. I made this pattern for my oldests 5th birthday using a Paw Patrol Quilted Cotton mixed with a cheap...

Hi! I’m Rachael, and I’m from California. I live in the Sierras and love hiking, kayaking, mtn biking, bird watching and just being outside in the forest! I started sewing a few years ago as a way of rediscovering myself after a chronic illness journey. I found it to be a fantastic outlet for my unique fashion ideas, and really enjoy seeing my skills progress as time goes on. It is so rewarding to be able to bring a creative idea to life, and then get to express my unique style with it. I would love to get more comfortable...
