You should know: I received a free copy of this DVD from Gaiam so that I could review the product and set up the giveaway. This same giveaway is also posted in duplicate on Beautiful Giveaways. Good luck! Here’s a great way to kick off the week… a yoga DVD giveaway from Gaiam! This week’s [...]
Planning a Roman Holiday
I admit, lately I have been obsessed with my ukulele and the Nashville soundtrack to the unintended neglect of Lizzy. However, I finally got back to building my wardrobe with a couple of great basics from Butterick. Celebrating 150 years, Butterick is doing a contest for a Hollywood-inspired outfit made from any of their patterns. [...]
Maw & Mo Sew Along: Interfacing
This is a continuation from previous posts: part 1, part 2, part3. Moxie Peeps, you might still be recovering from the last sew along post. I wouldn’t blame you!! As I was writing it, I realized there is so much more detail I could go into about many of those preparation steps and I might [...]
Couture Finish: The Hand-Picked Zipper
Real couture (think: vintage Valentino) is sewn entirely by hand from a team of seamstresses in Italy. I want to swoon just thinking about it! While I’m sure there are plenty of seamstresses and tailors out there who champion extensive hand sewing in their home sewing studios, the rest of us don’t really have that [...]

Maw & Mo Sew Along: Fabric & Cutting
Who knew there would be so much prep work before sitting down at the sewing machine? I hate to burst your bubble, but there’s a lot more we have to do on this road to Simplicity 2305 by Cynthia Rowley. (See part 1 & part 2.) I remember when I started sewing, I read on [...]
I’m Taking Domestic Back!
Today is School of Moxie’s one year blogiversary! I can’t believe a year has passed. It’s been a whirlwind and I am beyond happy that I decided to walk down this path. A while back I had a really big Aha! Moment. This was before Sheryl Sandberg started touting the line “Lean In.” As a [...]
Maw & Mo Sew Along: Pattern Sizing
This is a continuation from an earlier post. In this post, we’ll talk about figuring out our unique pattern size… even though the envelope has standardized sizing, very few of us look like a fit model’s measurements! We are working on Simplicity #2305 by Cynthia Rowley. I’ve seen quite a few people give up really [...]
Monthly Off Topic Issue: April 2013
Usually I do a Monthly Food Issue because we all know how much I love good food! But lately, food has become simply fuel and while I’ve had plenty of treats and tasty fare, mostly it’s been quite healthy… maybe a smidge boring? Well, boring for blogging. That’s an important qualifier. However, in the month [...]
