Sadie has been needing some new tees, so I set out to make her some the other day. These are so quick to whip up, especially with a serger! (also, look out for a post about a cool tip regarding sergers in the next week!) I use my raglan tee tutorial, and used both ribbed knit for the collar/sleeves, and regular jersery knit fabric as well. Both … [Read more...]
purple striped tee
October 30, 2012 By 9 Comments
I did a little refashion the other week and it turned into this little square necked top! It's made from a thrifted tee (I always forget to take a before pic, just imagine a really boxy tee and pretend I did), and I decided to play with the stripes a bit! Taking my cues from this fab tutorial...this tee was created. The knit I was working with was … [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...]
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...]
KCWC: teal bow leggings
October 10, 2012 By 14 Comments
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...]
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...]

I am down to 5 weeks til d-day. (delivery day...ok give or take a few days or weeks)5 WEEKS people! I at least threw the 0-3 month clothes in the wash yesterday so … [Read more...]
yellow and coral knit top
September 24, 2012 By 12 Comments
I just cannot stop myself. I am in deep with coral and yellow (add some mint or teal and it's all over). I thrifted a big yellow and white striped shirt to refashion for one of the girls, and Sadie needs shirts more than Charlotte right now, so she got it. (you should see C's drawers, they barely close!) She's been growing into all of Sadie's old … [Read more...]
