(if you were following along on Instagram you got a sneak peek of a combined photo shoot we did with the girls!! prepare for cuteness!) We had so much fun-and ate way too much.

It seems that the Nessie and Go To Leggings are my favorite pairing of late. especially for kids-so comfy and easy to wear. I made this set for a friend, so no pics on a kiddo...sad day right? The tee I made with LACE sleeves and used it for the binding and pocket as well. You might recognize the lace from this dress, and you might recognize … [Read more...]

I had a baby shower a few weeks ago for an old friend-well she's not old, just...well you know. I've known her forevers. Anyways, she's having her first baby-(a girl!) so I knew I wanted to shower her with homemade goodies.

We can never have too many Nessie tops around this house-I love it as a basic tee, and with the variations too! After Amanda from Kitschycoo was sweet enough to send me some of the incredible fabric from her shop, I knew it was destined for greatness. Ok, cheesy yes, but seriously. This fabric deserved to be showcased! DEERS! This fabric … [Read more...]
KCW: solid bateau tops
April 10, 2014 By 6 Comments
This is one of those projects I thought would be a good idea. "just whip up some solid colored tees to build up Sadie's wardrobe" I said to myself. Self, next time just buy solid tees. Seriously these actually weren't too bad, but since I wasn't customizing them or anything, they were a bit boring to sew up...just repetitive I guess. But … [Read more...]

I'm slightly addicted to the Skater Dress pattern by KitschyCoo. I've made, I think, about 4 of them, but I have so many fabric variations floating around in my head. Like one I wanna make for Sadie asap. Hope I can get to that soon! Anyways...I just started picturing one on Ava and had to sew one up the other afternoon. I made a 18mo/2T size, … [Read more...]

You may have seen the awesomeness that is the new Pattern Anthology collection-4 knit top patterns for WOMEN! And they are all so cute and stylish. I had a tough time deciding which one to make, honestly! I might have to shamelessly copy Stef's Parisian top at a later date...I heart it SO much. I decided on the City Girl top (designed by … [Read more...]

Inspired by tees like this one and this one, I whipped this baby up the other night...seriously fast and cute. Rory even commented on it. I almost died from shock since he never does...doesn't even seem to notice I blog-lol! Sadie loves it...she looks tres chic in it-and I love the combo of black and white with the colorful floral. Look for … [Read more...]
