After making the Georgia twirl dress for Sadie, she requested more "twirly twirly" skirts. And since her requests shall be granted if they are 1. Easy 2. Fast 3. It's Kids Clothes Week and 4. She asks.... ....I made her some. Such a pushover, I know. These are SOOO quick though that they almost sew themselves. You could try leaving them … [Read more...]

I finished up a springy outfit for the littlest the other day-a pair of Go To Leggings (affliate linkaroo) (fabric from Hobby Lobby), and a Sweet Dress top made with some soft yellow polka dot fabric. I love grey and yellow together, don't you? So fresh yet classic. Oh and I made another pair of these moccs for Ava-love love love them! Ava was … [Read more...]
KCW: floral and teal corduroy hosh pants
October 25, 2013 By 3 Comments
I've already sewn up (and loved!) one of LouBee Clothing's patterns-the Bimaa, so I was dying to take a swing at her Hosh pants after seeing them all over blogland. They are a quick and easy sew-and practically tailor made for my skinny Sadie. I sewed them up for both girls-in this awesome stretch sateen, and some teal corduroy from Hancocks … [Read more...]
KCW: grey and mint greenpoint cardigan (and a button giveaway!)
October 23, 2013 By 18 Comments
For day two of Kids Clothes Week, I finally, FINALLY sewed up a Greenpoint cardigan! and then quickly wondered why in the world I hadn't done so earlier! I've had the pattern ever since it came out, but for some reason it always got pushed to the back burner. It's a fabulous pattern-the instructions and tips are impeccable, and it sewed up … [Read more...]
KCWC: a batch of Go To leggings
October 22, 2013 By 16 Comments
I had prepped for KCWC by cutting out a bunch of Go To Leggings (affiliate link) for Ava while Kristin was here last weekend...and then later spent an afternoon sewing them up, and then fighting the urge to cut out and sew more. (darn halloween costumes needing to be sewn and all). I have to applaud Andrea again (and again...)for this amazing … [Read more...]

So.....the other day, I decided that Ava needed a new dress-basically I just NEEDED to sew something quick and cute and easy. Another Geranium dress goll darn fit the bill. It's my sixth version of the pattern...yipes. That means it's a good one. The classic silhouette and those adorable cap sleeves get me every time. Plus the fit is fantastic! … [Read more...]
KCWC: more pattern testing
July 17, 2013 By 15 Comments
Humor me.I have a slightly enormous obsession with taking pics of my littlest lately. Like a moth to a flame, I just can't stop. And it's totally normal to be obsessed with your own kids, right? It just happens to leak on over here to the blog sometimes...which ya'll will forgive me for, right? *crosses fingers*It's all in the name of working on … [Read more...]
KCWC wrap up
April 30, 2013 By 35 Comments
KCWC wrap up time! Here are all the pieces I made, minus Charlotte's ruffle top, which somehow escaped the washi tape line up. Do you like how much tape it took to keep that coral skirt up? Apparently that was the heaviest garment I sewed last week. ;) So...the final count is 14...although I did make 3 more pieces for a guest post going up in a … [Read more...]

Ok! Last outfit, finally! Look for a round up post asap! After pinning these shorts a little while ago, I had to make my own version of them...using some Chevrons in Mint from Deerfield Anthology Fabric. Love this fabric. I had to make another pair of the Bubble Pocket shorts, too. Sadie's in desperate need of shorts so she may get some more, we'll … [Read more...]
