I went to a craft night the other week and decided to make another Playdate dress from this adorable knit I picked up on Etsy awhile ago. I wanted to add a pocket too, but threw away all my green scraps accidentally. Whoopsie! Looks like pregnancy brain still affects you a year after the baby is born. At least, that's what I'm going with. It's … [Read more...]

tee shirts to dress refashion
June 23, 2011 By 26 Comments
I made this dress months ago, but somehow never took any pictures of it. I found some cute printed tees at my thrift store, so I cut off the bottom of a white tee, cut strips of the tee shirts, gathered them if needed, and sewed them into a quick dress. I used the existing hem of a tee for the bottom so it was a really easy refashion! Comfy and … [Read more...]

cute as a button party dress
May 25, 2011 By 71 Comments
So, Charlotte's first birthday is almost upon us. GASP! I am shocked at how fast this first year went, much faster than it did with Sadie. I've (of course) already been in full party planning mode for her (and Sadie's) parties, and so decided to knock out her party dress early. The theme is "Cute as a Button". Cute right?! (...as a … [Read more...]
red and teal jumper-KCWC
May 14, 2011 By 27 Comments
I guess I would feel like a bad mom if I only sewed Sadie things for KCWC...in my defense, Charlotte has a lot of hand me downs from Sadie...but still, she deserves some new things to call her own! If anything, so that when she looks at the pictures from when she was little (aka this blog), she will know I meant well. Here's the proof, older … [Read more...]
Leah dress-KCWC
May 13, 2011 By 44 Comments
My sewing yesterday started off with shorts and morphed into this dress-a Leah tunic, lengthened, and with a band added around the bottom. Also with some cute coordinating fabric. I've mainly been making dresses this week because they're all Sadie will wear lately. Kind of annoying cause she won't wear the cute tops I've made her, but fun also … [Read more...]
