Oh my gosh. You guys. I can't get over how cute these little moccasins are! Seriously. My friend Amy over at Peekaboo Patterns sent me her new moccasin pattern to try-and I LOVE it. I had some soft buttery yellow leather (it's a cooler-toned yellow IRL) I had gotten when me and Stef went shopping (actually she picked it out and split it with me, so … [Read more...]
Sadie’s Roller Skate Easter dress
March 27, 2013 By 17 Comments
Well, all the Easter dresses have been sewn! A minor miracle, due to some buckling down, pumped-up pep talks to myself (complete with rock anthem), and chocolate chips, of course. Those will get me through almost anything. Just need to get some pics of Avie girl in hers....So here's the low down on the Sadester's dress:Fabric: Kumari Garden … [Read more...]

Lotta Geranium dress
January 9, 2013 By 45 Comments
Well I knew I'd be making another Geranium dress soon, since the last one turned out so cute! I started cutting this one out last week and totally messed up laying out my pieces. (this is why I shouldn't be allowed to sew after 9 pm...so pathetic) So I ordered another yard because I just HAD to make it work. I mean, hello this fabric is probably … [Read more...]
Ava’s Geranium dress
January 4, 2013 By 14 Comments
So the other week, Rae emailed me to see if I'd be willing to help test her new pattern....and we all know that when Rae says "sew" you say "yes". ;) She needed a tester for the 0-3 month size and I quickly jumped on board....how sweet did this dress turn out? I adore it in so many ways. For one thing, it came together so, so quickly. (love small … [Read more...]
quick iphone case and some headbands
December 14, 2012 By 15 Comments
I wanted to make something to thank my friend Rachelle for the pictures she took of Ava, so I sewed up a fun case for her phone-I'm pretty sure she likes mustard yellow so hopefully it's a hit. (who doesn't like mustard yellow, right? if you don't...you are dead to me. just kidding. or am I...) I used this great tutorial and pattern and whipped a … [Read more...]
Sadie’s book dress
December 10, 2012 By 31 Comments
I got the right color of thread! woohoo! Hey, that was quite the feat for a gal 2 days from her due date. Hitting up the fabric store with two slightly rambunctious young girls is a feat worth receiving a medal for. Am I right? (I am) Anyways-this being the third time I've sewn up this pattern (yes I'm slightly obsessed with it!), it came … [Read more...]

Since I have more Oliver and S patterns to try, I dove right into the ice cream dress pattern, and made this little pink number for Charlotte. (a few weeks ago.... No, I'm not sewing much yet!)I have one cut out for Sadie too, just need some pretty specific colored thread to make it work. (don't you hate when you don't have matching thread and … [Read more...]

Confession: I had never sewn with an Oliver and S pattern before this top.I know, I know! And I called myself a sewing blogger! lol. I have copied their looks a few times, but after having used one of their patterns, I am a convert.Another confession: Get ready for a slew of Oliver and S projects because I am now obsessed.I made a class picnic … [Read more...]
