My goal is one piece per day for KCWC (not that different from a normal day round these parts, I admit), so I made this cute lil dress yesterday. I am kinda in love with the fabric. More than a normal person loves a fabric is how I feel about this fabric. Ya'll with me? I used Vanessa's awesome tute and template that debuted on this here blog! I … [Read more...]
the girliest dress-KCWC
May 11, 2011 By 19 Comments
So I got a late start on my KCWC-I started a day late-but I was able to whip this up last night after (sorta) unpacking from my trip to Utah! (more on that another time)I used this pattern, which I found out about via the Elsie Marley blog-so thanks Meg, for the tip! It was a quick sew-but one problem-no zipper or buttons, it's supposed to slip … [Read more...]

No, you're not seeing double. ;) And yes, I made the girls the exact. same. dress. I am aware of that. I just can't help it. and I really love the ribbon bow on the shoulder! They're just simple pillowcase dresses-I mostly used this tutorial-but my own hacked up pattern.I love the fabric! I got it on sale-$4 a yard-and I made both dresses with one … [Read more...]
kids clothes week-grey fleece sweater
September 28, 2010 By 23 Comments
I love how this sweater turned out! I wish I'd lined it in cotton though, instead of more fleece, it's a bit stiff in the arms. (Christmas Story style) Anyways-it was fun to sew-and pretty easy to put together. I used this pattern. Another piece for the Sadester's fall/winter wardrobe! … [Read more...]
kids clothes week-magenta knit shirt
September 27, 2010 By 15 Comments
It's official. She's mastered the snooty ignore-the-camera model look. Which I still think is adorable, but I'm biased. sheesh, this color is kinda hurting my eyes on the screen. I promise it's not that red/bright in real life. More pink/magenta-but whatever! Here's one of my attempts to build up Sadie's fall/winter wardrobe. As of now she … [Read more...]
kids clothes week-teal bow top and corduroy skirt
September 23, 2010 By 28 Comments
I never thought I could love a shirt this much-but it is possible. ;)I made it from another tee shirt-of course I didn't take a before picture. (because the power went out and I cut it out by flashlight. No power-so I thought I'd at least cut something out. What can I say-I'm a die hard) Just imagine a boxy, little boy shirt and you'll get the … [Read more...]
kids clothes week-warm PJ’s
September 22, 2010 By 19 Comments
It's been getting a bit chillier at night here (granted, it's still Cali, but anyways....), so Sadie's summer PJ's are no longer in season. Hence...winter PJ's! It's not rocket science, but I digress. PJ's can get so expensive! I love making them, they're a quick project (especially since my new baby serger came to live with us) and fun to … [Read more...]

kids clothes week round six
May 17, 2010 By 7 Comments
...and that's it! lol. I know I said I was done, but I had to make SOMETHING with this fabric, I've been pondering what to do with it for awhile. It's a shower curtain, from Target, found at Goodwill. ;) So I whipped up a little skirt last Friday (it's hemmed already so I didn't have to do that!), with a cute ruffle at the top. It took about 20 … [Read more...]

May 14, 2010 By 6 Comments
All done with the Kids Clothes Week challenge! It was a fun week, I got to make some cute clothes for the Sadester, and tried to use up some of my fabric that was just sitting around. I reached my goal of one item/outfit per day, so yay! The last one was something easy, another easy breezy tank (dress)...I almost didn't manage to make anything … [Read more...]
