Especially these days...okaay...anyways...I have a new dress to show ya! It's been awhile huh? I have some excuses reasons:1. I didn't want to make something, and then later realize it would be perfect for a … [Read more...]

Again, with the force-feeding of pics! haha...although Charlotte's cheekies sure are scrumptious so I'm sure you won't mind.Presenting: Charlotte's Christmas dress I used the same material as Sadie's.

So...I couldn't help making some matching "dresses" for the girls to wear on Thanksgiving. I picked up a cute top made of fall-ish fabric last time I was thrifting, and used that for the ruffles. I used this tutorial-and almost threw in the towel halfway through when I remembered I hate making ruffles.HA! The joke was on me. Luckily, I persevered … [Read more...]

....Let down your hair!I just had to make a Rapunzel (from the new Disney movie) dress for Sadie. (had to-meaning...I am very slightly off my rocker when it comes to dress up) I used this dress as a starting point, but made it a lot simpler-no overlay on the skirt, embroidery, etc. I sewed on some ribbon for the stripey sleeves-love how that … [Read more...]

I hereby dub this dress the "Pumpkin Dress". So fall-ish! I got this fabric on sale awhile ago at Joann's (on my trip to Utah earlier this year), and have been saving it for the "perfect" dress.I do that sometimes...and then two years later I will still have a piece waiting...oh well. Someday all my fabric will get used. It may be by my … [Read more...]

Who's the fairest of them all? In this house-it's Sadie! She definitely has the prettiest clothes of us all. As you can tell, I've been on a dress up kick-I can't resist all that costume fabric on sale at Joanns! This dress only set me Rory back about $4. Can't beat that. Seriously. I'd like to see someone try. ;) I love her little toddler … [Read more...]
