I had the hankering for a quick sewing project the other day so I pulled out some knits and made this little top for Sadie. I'm thinking that I should sew for Charlotte more, though...Sadie is such a stinker when it comes to photo shoots nowadays! Although once she gets down to business she always pulls through. (she usually needs the promise of a … [Read more...]
I’m a Sewlebrity?
July 5, 2012 By 9 Comments
I'm so honored and excited to be a part of Rachel's Sewlebrity series over on Family Ever After! I sewed up this color block tee for the Sadester, who almost immediately smeared pink sidewalk chalk dust on the white part. At least I got pics, right? That's what counts in bloggy land. ;) Hop over to her blog to check out the tutorial! Go leave some … [Read more...]
what’s a nightgown?
July 2, 2012 By 17 Comments
So I made this dress (using my Katy dress tutorial), and all the while in my head kept thinking..."this fabric is a bit see through....well we will see what it looks like on her I guess...it can't be that bad!" haha...yep it was. I informed Sadie that it would be a nightgown instead of a play dress.Clueless look from Sadie.Me: Errrr, I mean a dress … [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...]
mustard yellow circle skirt

Back around Christmas time (in between Christmas and New Years) we were all sick with the flu. :( This is the one thing I was able to sew that week, and only because it was SO easy. I used Dana's tutorial, which is great. I've used it before, but only for the girls. I love how it drapes! I think it was a rayon knit from Fabric.com, but I can't … [Read more...]

Check out the winner of the Janey Jumper giveaway here! The Scrapbox giveaway ends tonight! Make sure to get your entry in!

ruffly knit peasant top-mini (ok, micro) tutorial
November 7, 2011 By 25 Comments
Brrr...it's been getting chilly this week. We turned the heater on and I've been merrily wearing sweaters and boots (finally). I've also realized Charlotte doesn't have any long sleeved shirts! So I made a quick peasant top out of some cute striped knit. (which my cousin in law Courtenay gave me last May when I visited Utah. She scored it at a … [Read more...]
the katy dress tutorial
November 1, 2011 By 59 Comments
I feel a little like I've lost my focus lately on the blog...like I need to churn out tons of kiddo clothes to be a good blogger. Not entirely true, but still, kids clothes are my favorite thing to make, and I felt like I was getting out of that habit. (plus, the kids REALLY need some fall/winter stuff) So I set a goal yesterday to make something … [Read more...]
KCWC-fall basics
October 12, 2011 By 32 Comments
Day three of the Kids Clothes Week Challenge-made this little skirt and top outfit-I wanted some fall basics she could mix and match with other pieces. (most of the time her choice is a dress....) I've had this cute heart-patterned knit for awhile so I was muy excited to use it up! I really really REALLY like this skirt! It's a simple paperbag … [Read more...]
dress and shorts
July 26, 2011 By 21 Comments
I went to a craft night the other week and decided to make another Playdate dress from this adorable knit I picked up on Etsy awhile ago. I wanted to add a pocket too, but threw away all my green scraps accidentally. Whoopsie! Looks like pregnancy brain still affects you a year after the baby is born. At least, that's what I'm going with. It's … [Read more...]
