My first item for Kids Clothes Week: a dress. Are you shocked? Surprised? hah. hah. Anyways...I gotta say, this is my new FAVE of Sadie's dress collection! (which is getting a bit ridiculous) I just love the fabric, I bought it on sale at Joann's awhile ago (like, $2.50 a yard? I think, so I only used about 3/4 of a yard, so CHEAP dress!), and … [Read more...]
kids clothes week

Like I need another excuse to sew clothes for Sadie, but the Elsie Marley blog is having a kids clothes week challenge, where she challenges you to sew clothing for your kids for one hour each day the second week of May. (starting today!) There's no prize, just a fun opportunity to put aside time to sew for your kids. I can't wait and my mind is … [Read more...]

I don't think I've ever had this quick of a turnaround for a refashioned item! I bought this skirt in the morning ($1.50), and by the end of nap, she had a new dress! (with a few adjustments) Rory called it scandalous, I call it summery. (ok, maybe a bit scandalous, but she's still a baby!) ...and waaayy easy. (those extra letters are to impress … [Read more...]

Another tank top...are you sick of them yet? A little tunic top...a tad wide in the shoulders...next one I make will have to be a bit slimmer. I know, this girl has a ton of clothes, I just have a bunch of fabric that I want to use, so oh well! (Plus, I'm a bit addicted, if you haven't noticed) I love the little pockets. (Sadie filled them with … [Read more...]
90 minute shirt

I finally tried Dana from Made's 90 minute shirt tutorial this past weekend. Getting the pattern made was the hardest part...this brown one is the third attempt, which is why it's brown. I ran out of cuter knit colors. ;)I still think it's pretty charming, especially with the little flower applique I added to "girly' it up a bit. I was able to make … [Read more...]
