There’s something about this time of year that makes me crave a fresh start. A year seems to be flowing so fast, and you wonder whether you’ve taken the time to really enjoy the year yet. Is it also time to look back a little and adjust a little. 

Not in a big, overwhelming, “let’s redo everything” kind of way…
but in a quiet, gentle shift.
A little softness.
A little lightness.

And for me, that often begins in the sewing room.

Lately, I’ve been feeling the pull toward spring…even if it doesn’t quite look like spring outside where I am. It’s more of a feeling than a season, isn’t it? That sense of hope. Of something new beginning. Of wanting to surround yourself with things that feel a little brighter, a little lighter.

So I decided to start small.

A Simple Wall Hanging to Welcome Spring

I picked up the Simply Sweet pattern by Lori Holt for It’s Sew Emma, and right away… I knew it was exactly what I needed.
