I have one more KCWC outfit after this tee, almost done with the posts for that, I had so much fun! OK, so this tee is definitely a wish-I'd-sewn-it-for-myself type of project! Rory and I are huge Star Wars fans, but not having any boys is cramping his style. Or so he thinks. I'm doing my best to indoctrinate our girly girls about SW mythology, … [Read more...]

April 26, 2013 By 16 Comments
Well, after saying no to Charlotte's questioning "Dat por me?" while I've been sewing for Sadie this week, I gave in and made her a top...how could you resist that face, I ask you? You can't, don't bother talking to your computer screen answering me. The cheeks will eat you aliiiive! Anyways, I used the Ruffle Top/Dress pattern, and it was … [Read more...]

Definitely, this dress is one of my favorite versions of the peasant dress that I've done. I'm enamored with the fox fabric. Sheesh. FOXES. They're like the new owl, folks. Or duck-bill platypus. (inside joke) So lemme give you the deets:Fabric: Playful Fox in Blue from Timber and LeafPattern: the Sweet Dress by Leila and … [Read more...]
KCWC: hot air balloon tee and applique skirt
April 24, 2013 By 19 Comments
Outfit #3! a skirt and shirt combo...with my favorite color combination right now-coral and gold! (obviously) I drafted this cap sleeved slightly gathered neckline top, then stamped the heck out of it with my hot air balloon stamp and some gold paint. I got lazy with the sleeves and haphazardly sewed them under 1/8", but whatevs. It fits and I was … [Read more...]
KCWC: bubble pocket shorts and polka dot tee (and giveaway/coupon code)
April 24, 2013 By 30 Comments
Outfit #2! I'm loving this one...these shorts are my favorite part. I have plans to make a few more pairs! I used the Bubble Pocket Shorts pattern and it was a great pattern! I sewed up the 3/4T size, & they should definitely fit her at least a year, yay! It was easy to sew up (about 1.5 hours for me, and that was while being semi-distracted by … [Read more...]
KCWC: family reunion top and go to leggings
April 23, 2013 By 23 Comments
I kicked off Kids Clothes Week a little early and finished up this top on Sunday...then the leggings today! I had just enough left from making this top (from Girl Charlee: use the code Crafty10 for 10% off your purchase) to sew up the capri-length leggings. I used the Go To Leggings pattern (affiliate link) and I love it! The fit is just about … [Read more...]

Here it is...my last project for the Kids Clothes Week Challenge. I had so much fun this go-around, got so many basis etc made for the girls...but I think it wiped me out. A little break from sewing is in order. (but not too long!)So I started making this elephant print dress with the intention that it would be for Sadie. I ended up making a bad … [Read more...]
KCWC: raglan tees
October 13, 2012 By 17 Comments
In the interest of stash busting (ya know....because that means I can buy more fabric if I use what I have, right?), I made these two long sleeved raglan tops for the Sadester....seriously they are so fast! The longest part was doing that hedgehog applique. This tee needed a little somethin' so I decided to "put a hedgehog on it". (Adrianna's … [Read more...]

This girl is having too much fun posing her heart out this week! She's earning tons of squinkies, too, so she's in heaven pretty much. So for this tunic I used Shauna's fantastic Sadie tunic pattern. It was just a matter of time til I sewed up this one...after all it has a great name! ;) The fabric is Josephine Kimberling Just Dandy in Scattered … [Read more...]
KCWC: lace and magenta top
October 11, 2012 By 9 Comments
I thrifted this super soft tee and refashioned it into this layered lacy top...you maybe can't tell, but the lace is layered with strips of fabric cut from the sleeves of the original tee. I have to rework the neck a bit but besides that it came together fairly quickly! Just another fall basic...I think that's why I love KCWC so much, it forces me … [Read more...]
