Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
A glorious day in Minneapolis! I was off for the day and puttered around the house, sewed, took Lucy the hound for a walk and played in the garden. PS – I’m catching up on blog posts and realized that these Born shoes are in heavy rotation… apparently I need more! shirt: handmade, blogged...

Greetings meerkats and happy day-after Memorial Day!! Mr. Bug and I were pookie housebears on our day off. I embarked on a small reorganization of my sewing room that ended up with the inevitable trip to Ikea. In future sewing space news, Mr. Bug and I also measured our basement, currently a very strangely...

This is a favorite skirt of mine! It’s wool and silk tweed with horsehair in the hem, so it’s super twirly! Mr. Bug and I headed over to the neighbor’s house for a grill-out. It was a bit chilly, so bare legs with a cozy skirt and a cardigan were just the ticket! shirt:...

This skirt is a sample I sewed up for a class. I really love pencil skirts! I think I might shorten this up a bit because the fabric’s a bit thin, but in the meantime, this was a great cheery outfit for a day at work! shirt: the store that shall not be named...

Good morning flying squirrels! Does all that extra skin make it hard to fly? Our basset hound has a lot of extra skin too, could you give her some flying lessons? I had a hard time getting photos taken for snugbug365 this week – last night I took three days worth of daily outfit...

One of my favorite fabric finds of the year! Cherry corduroy! I finally headed back to work today and it was a little chilly. I am wearing my denim jacket to death! I am starting to think about what other little jackets I’d like to add to the rotation… shirt: handmade, blogged here skirt:...

Greetings semi-tame burros of Custer State Park. Next time, we’re bringing carrots. Your big scary teeth are getting way too close to our fingers. Now, will you kindly remove your giant head from our car window so we can go find some bison?? Since burros such as yourselves are naturally clever and curious, I...

A day off! I went on TWO walks with Lucy and did some other fun things. This is a super comfy outfit and I like it, even though it is basically me stretching some horizontal stripes over generous hips! Clever readers will also note that these are TOTALLY knockabout the house clothes… there are...

Morning muskrats! There was no sewing completed at the house of the Snug Bug today, but I taught a class this evening and as I was droning on about understanding pattern envelopes, I thought it’d make a good post. A lot of you are already ALL over this, so you can enjoy my poorly...

I felt a bit witchy-slash-stevie-nicks in this outfit. I normally don’t have so much matierial wafting around while I walk! It was fun, though – and comfy!! I spent the day knocking about the house and then headed out to teach a class! shirt – Lane Bryant, a few years old. sweater – Nine...

Greetings salamanders, creatures of fire. I’m sure your little elemental hearts are going to be all afire over my nearly-not-even-a-project that I worked on today. In short (yes, a pun. yes, intentional) I broke down and bought some cargo-style crops a while back. I thought of making them myself, but they were the right...

Readers of my other blog, The Snug Bug, will know that I am not an adherent of the A-line skirt is universally flattering nonsense. I’m finding I like ‘em a bit more if they’re shorter and VERY triangular!! This skirt was almost tossed in the Arc bag – I’m glad I have it a...

Greetings medieval steeds! Tonight I bring you a step by step how-to on attaching snaps. I even have some diagrams attempting to show the anatomy of snaps because to tell the truth, I don’t have a very hard time attaching snaps… it’s attaching them with all the pieces in the right place that trips...

A beautiful day! Blog reading in the morning, then work, then home. I’ve been yearning for some leather strappy cuffs and thought they’d be perfect with this outfit, so I raided my trim stash this morning, added some snaps to some leather strips and voila! tank: Old Navy shirt: Target, purchased last summer shoes:...

Greetings t-rex’s! I nearly forgot to do a blog post tonight, I was super-focused on working on the June/July class schedule handout for the shop and it just slipped my mind! But I remembered AND I even knew what I wanted to blog about, so here I am, once again, blogging while the hound...
