Outfit #2! I'm loving this one...these shorts are my favorite part. I have plans to make a few more pairs! I used the Bubble Pocket Shorts pattern and it was a great pattern! I sewed up the 3/4T size, & they should definitely fit her at least a year, yay! It was easy to sew up (about 1.5 hours for me, and that was while being semi-distracted by … [Read more...]

April 23, 2013 By 23 Comments
I kicked off Kids Clothes Week a little early and finished up this top on Sunday...then the leggings today! I had just enough left from making this top (from Girl Charlee: use the code Crafty10 for 10% off your purchase) to sew up the capri-length leggings. I used the Go To Leggings pattern (affiliate link) and I love it! The fit is just about … [Read more...]

Vote for your favorite look here! I had SO much fun with this week....and so did Sadie! The theme was " Spring Formal Wear"....and after all, what's more fun than dressing up like a princess? A ballerina I guess! She even got to wear a little make up-she was in heaven when I told her that she could. She also relished getting her hair curled. … [Read more...]
Project Run and Play week 3-Modern Marigold

Vote for your favorite look here! "It's all in the details" week was definitely the hardest for me, design-wise...it took awhile to figure out what I wanted to do...after all, the theme "Details" is not much of a guideline. I could pretty much do whatever I wanted! Talk about overwhelming. Finally, with the help of my awesome best friend … [Read more...]

Sadie’s Roller Skate Easter dress
March 27, 2013 By 17 Comments
Well, all the Easter dresses have been sewn! A minor miracle, due to some buckling down, pumped-up pep talks to myself (complete with rock anthem), and chocolate chips, of course. Those will get me through almost anything. Just need to get some pics of Avie girl in hers....So here's the low down on the Sadester's dress:Fabric: Kumari Garden … [Read more...]

I've been a stampin' fool lately, guys! I do not know how it took me so long to do this....I've stamped fabric before, but carving your own stamps opens up a whole new world of creativity and options! (cue: Aladdin.....) Suffice it to say, I am having way too much fun. Count on a little how to post for carving stamps, soon! Until then...here's … [Read more...]
