Hey y'all! I feel like it's been forever, but I'm back with a new pattern review. I finally completed the Gilbert top by Helen's Closet. And it didn't take me a long time because it was complicated, but because other projects kept getting in the way. So I finally devoted some real time to completing…
Here's my first SEW ALONG and it's live on YouTube! Another milestone to scratch off the list! As a Makerist ambassador, I make one pattern each month. March's pattern was the Margarita dress by Our Lady of Leisure sold on the Makerist site here. This knit bodycon dress is perfect for Weddings and parties. It's…
Last week I shared a white blouse that I made on my Instagram. I didn't think most people would notice, but somehow it turned into a thing (which I'm grateful for), and I got a lot of questions about the pattern I used. I made sure to mention the company, but I also realized that…

Happy Tuesday y'all! Can I share just how much my new trousers make me happy? Like, how just staring at them make me smile? I used Mimi G X Simplicity pattern 9114, which is like a (in my opinion) vintage cut pants pattern. They have 4 pleats at the front and two in the back…

Hey everyone! I know it's been a few weeks since the last time I wrote on my blog. If we're being honest, I've been getting really wrapped up into creating TikTok videos and it's really been occupying time. Shameful, yes. I know. But if you're on TikTok then give me a follow at @ravenmaureen_! Anyway,…
Hey y'all! I know that this post is a long time coming - but here it is! How to sew with velvet. Velvet, kind of like any other fabric can have a stretch or a non-stretch property. I've sewn with both and I honestly believe non-stretch velvet is more difficult to sew with, but we're…
