More stuff I made during Kids Clothes Week! I love love love this challenge, always have. It's a real kick in the toosh for me. Especially now since I'm in a teensy bit of a sewing slump. Making a few quick things here and there makes me feel productive, and getting out of the house for a real photo shoot is fun! At least for me. You'd think I'd … [Read more...]

So the girls have been a bit chilly lately at ballet class. They have class in a large, slightly drafty room, and were in need of either some long sleeved leotards or sweaters. And since well duh I like to sew, and I had some lovely stretch velvet in my stash just begging to be ballet sweaters, well...ya'll can see where this is going. I had seen … [Read more...]

coral leafy dress
December 8, 2013 By 12 Comments
Sadie has been "needing" some new church dresses lately. (really I am getting sick of seeing the same old dresses every week) So I took it upon myself to sew up an oldie but goodie. Meaning I'd sewn this pattern a LOONG time ago and decided to have another go. I'm glad I did-usually I leave a pattern be after sewing it up once, preferring to prowl … [Read more...]

I made this dress....oh, over a month ago. Took pics, even edited them, but in all the hullabaloo of whatever is is that I was doing at the time (I have the worst memory), I forgot to post about it.

KCW: floral and teal corduroy hosh pants
October 25, 2013 By 3 Comments
I've already sewn up (and loved!) one of LouBee Clothing's patterns-the Bimaa, so I was dying to take a swing at her Hosh pants after seeing them all over blogland. They are a quick and easy sew-and practically tailor made for my skinny Sadie. I sewed them up for both girls-in this awesome stretch sateen, and some teal corduroy from Hancocks … [Read more...]
