Or, Dahlia top...or whatever those big flowers are called. I'm no gardener! I can barely keep our house plants alive. Anywho...I made this cute top after having it saved to my flickr favorites since forEVER. I basically copied this adorable top, only added some little puffy cap sleeves. This little miss is turning into quite the model. She works … [Read more...]

Well, I had some of that lovely fabric leftover from Sadie's dress, so of course I had to make a little matchy-matchy dress for little sis Charlotte! I made it slightly similar (the sleeves and buttons) but a different style at least. It's basically a Charlotte dress with a Circle skirt attached. Pretty straight-forward! The headband is a tee … [Read more...]

shades of teal skirt
March 2, 2011 By 13 Comments
I made this quick skirt using Care's tutorial, and some teal shirts from the dollar store and Michaels. I just LOVE the results! (shirt from Target) Sadie does too, despite her expression. She's a little harder to pose these days, she has her own ideas about what looks good, I guess. Like leaning against the wall, sneering. Yep, sorry hun, … [Read more...]

Especially these days...okaay...anyways...I have a new dress to show ya! It's been awhile huh? I have some excuses reasons:1.
