Grey and pink are so adorable together, don't you think? Especially for the littles. I made this quick dress (using my Ice Cream Social dress tutorial) for a baby girl on the way...I hope she and her momma like it. :) I added some loops on either side and a tie-cute huh? I also did the sleeves a little differently-I think I'll also add a … [Read more...]

Day two of the KCWC I made this little pink number for a friend's baby girl. The shower is this Saturday, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't check my blog all the time...but if you see this post before then, Aimee, er...act surprised. It's a simple little A-line shift with a button closure (of course), and a big pleated panel in the front. (size 9-12 … [Read more...]

Have you seen the movie Secretariat? I watched it the other week, and it was pretty good. Especially the last race! (I may or may not have been bouncing in my seat, cheering him on!) I love me a good horse flick, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. (used to be somewhat obsessed with horses and horse racing when I was younger...and by younger I mean....last … [Read more...]

So, getting Sadie to take some pictures in this dress was like pulling teeth. She is well aware that; A. She get candy when we take pictures. B.

I made one dress in the great sewing spree of '11.....and I kinda love my new dress. I was inspired by this dress: Modcloth via pinterest.

It's … [Read more...]
