I love this ruched maternity top-I only wish I'd got my hands on it sooner in this pregnancy! The fit is perfect and it's so comfortable yet flattering. (as flattering as … [Read more...]
KCWC: the sadie tunic
October 12, 2012 By 11 Comments
This girl is having too much fun posing her heart out this week! She's earning tons of squinkies, too, so she's in heaven pretty much. So for this tunic I used Shauna's fantastic Sadie tunic pattern.

Annie dress review
June 5, 2012 By 10 Comments

I went for a few brownie points with the pink button, but I don't think it helped much. ;) This … [Read more...]

Molly Jacket pattern review
May 30, 2012 By 14 Comments
I just love the Molly Jacket pattern from Violette Field Threads! They sent me their paper pattern to try-which means no printing and taping together, which is nice.

Vintage pattern with modern fabric
May 8, 2012 By 18 Comments
I love to sew vintage styles with modern fabric-the fresh colors and patterns update a dated pattern instantly! Wouldn't you agree? I wish I'd done that waistband in a different fabric but nothing matched that red. I mean, nothing. That's why I stuck some green buttons on it! Sadie wasn't a big fan of this dress-so I don't know if it will get worn … [Read more...]
