There are so many ways to use essential oils in our daily life! I love to make my own rooms sprays, rollers, pillow sprays, and perfumes. Click through to watch on Youtube for timestamps. Step by step room spray directions  Want your own Young Living Essential Oils?   

I know I am not alone in looking forward to the new year. This week's video discusses some of the fun projects I am planning!  

I have made this pattern so many times! It is flattering and fast. My go-to when I want a new little top. This is a project you can make in one sitting but will be your favorite new top! I have some cute new designs in my TeeSpring shop too! Check it out!  

  I threw this tree skirt together with what I had on hand already. This was a make-do project but that can be our secret. Close up of the trim application. The lining side of the skirt.

If you are looking for a great multi-season jacket this may be the one! This sweater can be buttoned up for a cowl neck. Left open it drapes in a flattering way. I really like this pattern! Watch at the end to see how I made some changes to the finishes that elevated the look! PS. It is a fast sew too! After wearing this a few times I decided it needed a little revision. The end of the video has that plus buttons and buttonholes.   

Napkins are a favorite handmade item I love to make for gifts. Doing a mitered corner elevates the look and quality.  

  This week's project has lots of nice details and interesting sewing applications. I show the steps up close to help you get the best results. The placket and hem finishes create a lovely garment inside and out!
