This one's named after my adorable niece Coraline! :) Sadie refused to take it off … [Read more...]

January 10, 2012 By 29 Comments
I know, I tend to make these alot-but they're so easy and cute! Plus they make great play dresses, which Sadie wants to wear most days. When she's not sporting the stripes-on-stripes look, that is. (which is a good look, should document that sometime...har har) I used my favorite peasant top/dress pattern, (lengthening the dress and sleeves) and … [Read more...]

So yes, the girls dresses are a lot alike this year. They are both also pretty simple. I had no brain functionality to get anything else done, forgive me. Hopefully my clothing design part of the brain switches back on after the new year! Sadie's dress has a simple pleated bow around the neckline.

the katy dress tutorial
November 1, 2011 By 59 Comments
I feel a little like I've lost my focus lately on the blog...like I need to churn out tons of kiddo clothes to be a good blogger. Not entirely true, but still, kids clothes are my favorite thing to make, and I felt like I was getting out of that habit. (plus, the kids REALLY need some fall/winter stuff) So I set a goal yesterday to make something … [Read more...]

My favorite part of her gift was this little quilt I made for baby Penny. It's not pieced, obviously, just two yards of fabric layered with batting and quilted, … [Read more...]
