I whipped up another pair of leggings using a thrifted sweater for the baby...and they ended up fitting Charlotte. haha....I have sizing issues sometimes, can you tell? Nobody's perfect. Anyways...I added some quick little bows at the ankles for a touch of cuteness. I love adding little details like that...I just have to remember to do it. ;) I … [Read more...]

KCWC: grey polka dot top
October 9, 2012 By 24 Comments
I really love how this top turned out! So hipster-ish. I made it with some of this huge bolt of grey fabric that I got a long time ago, and was glad to use some of it up. I used fabric paint for the dots and one of those foam dot brushes...just eyeballed the distances between dots. Added some bands around the sleeves and bottom to keep it fitted, … [Read more...]

I may (emphasis on the may) even attempt this as a pattern to sell. Hold the phone, folks. We'll see how I feel after this next little one makes her … [Read more...]
KCWC: leggings and raglan top
October 8, 2012 By 10 Comments
I actually started a little early on KCWC-on Saturday a good friend came over to learn how to make leggings for her little girl, and after we made a pair with this heart fabric I had to make some of my own with the leftover fabric. (once you've made a few they don't take much time at all...or assembly line them out! p.s. thanks Greta for the … [Read more...]

KCWC-little tie top
April 26, 2012 By 10 Comments
So I made this #fast and #easy (Can I tell you a secret? I may or may not know what the whole hashtag thing is all about....heavy on the may not) little top for Sadie from a thrifted tee. I love using those-it's already hemmed so it makes it so fast to refashion into a new top. I added a little tie at the collar-it turned out pretty cute I think! … [Read more...]

KCWC-Sadie’s Abbey jacket
October 15, 2011 By 34 Comments
My semi-last minute contribution to KCWC was this Abbey jacket for Sadie. Adorbs, right? I made it with this pattern, which was great! I used charcoal grey fleece from Joanns (hope it doesn't pill too much), and a napkin for the lining. Yes, a napkin. A girl's gotta get fabric wherever she can!I got it in Utah in May, since it was such a cute print … [Read more...]
