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...]

Amanda (the sewing maven behind Kitschy Coo) has designed probably the most comfortable knit dress Sadie has ever worn, and named it the Skater dress! She loves how comfy and soft it is, and it's so easy for her to slide over her head and instantly be dressed. I mean, she … [Read more...]
stamping up some tees
March 25, 2013 By 21 Comments
I've been a stampin' fool lately, guys! I do not know how it took me so long to do this....I've stamped fabric before, but carving your own stamps opens up a whole new world of creativity and options! (cue: Aladdin.....) Suffice it to say, I am having way too much fun. Count on a little how to post for carving stamps, soon! Until then...here's … [Read more...]

topped with a bow tee

This latest tee for Miss C was a refashion-I spotted this top at the thrift store on 50% off day, and it hopped right into my hands. By itself. Ok...maybe not, but as soon as I saw those coral and grey stripes, I knew it was meant to be. I always forget to take a before pic, but picture it as a boxy, shapeless tee. But with a cute pattern and … [Read more...]
Miss C’s new knit tops
February 11, 2013 By 15 Comments
I couldn't very well leave Charlotte out of the Great Top-Sewing Marathon of 2013, now could I? So don't worry, you'll see more of her cheekies soon. And that belly stuffed in that shirt! I die. So cute! I guess I should make more room in her future shirts for that toddler tummy, but I kind of love how it looks. Why is that only cute when you're … [Read more...]

The chevron shirt (and a birdie one too)
February 1, 2013 By 20 Comments
The second Sadie saw this shirt she called it her zebra shirt. lol...I haven't heard chevron described as that yet! This one is one of my faves of late...it came out just like I pictured, which is always exciting when it happens. I used this fabric for the top, and some coral knit for the bias tape. It's really similar to the Playdate dress in … [Read more...]
a few more tops….
January 28, 2013 By 21 Comments
Yep, I'm not quite done with the Great Top-Sewing Marathon of 2013. (say that in a loud announcer voice in your head...ok fine don't. But it's not as impressive a title if you don't) I really just kind of got into a sewing frenzy and started grabbing all the knits off my shelves and started cutting...not the best way to do it, probably. But it … [Read more...]
