I made this dress....oh, over a month ago. Took pics, even edited them, but in all the hullabaloo of whatever is is that I was doing at the time (I have the worst memory), I forgot to post about it. Bad Blogger! tsk tsk. Anyways, it's just a simple knit dress that I whipped up* and since I am such a bad blogger, didn't take pics for a … [Read more...]
baby toms
November 5, 2013 By 35 Comments
I had pinned this free tutorial and pattern for baby/toddler Toms awhile back now, but for some reason I felt an itch to make some RIGHT NOW. (er, a few weeks ago, now) As I was also feeling like a tightwad that night, I opted to try and size the free pattern instead of the sized pattern that is offered for sale. Which worked out....er..ok. I … [Read more...]
yellow, grey, and mint triangle quilt
November 4, 2013 By 16 Comments
I made this triangle quilt for a good friend, as you may have seen by now. A friend that has been supportive, kind, great at dishing out sewing and design advice, and generally all around awesome. You know her as Kristin, from Skirt as Top! We've been online friends for about a year and a half now, bonding over the gorgeous Junebug remix she … [Read more...]
Our Neverland crew
October 28, 2013 By 22 Comments
This year for our Halloween costumes, we went with Peter Pan/Neverland characters! (these pics are from our church party/trunk or treat) I had to cross dress again (but weren't most Peter Pan actors women for awhile, anyways?), but I'll gladly let my little gals take the girl parts of any ensemble. And before you think I forced any of them into … [Read more...]
KCW: floral and teal corduroy hosh pants
October 25, 2013 By 3 Comments
I've already sewn up (and loved!) one of LouBee Clothing's patterns-the Bimaa, so I was dying to take a swing at her Hosh pants after seeing them all over blogland. They are a quick and easy sew-and practically tailor made for my skinny Sadie. I sewed them up for both girls-in this awesome stretch sateen, and some teal corduroy from Hancocks … [Read more...]
KCW: grey and mint greenpoint cardigan (and a button giveaway!)
October 23, 2013 By 18 Comments
For day two of Kids Clothes Week, I finally, FINALLY sewed up a Greenpoint cardigan! and then quickly wondered why in the world I hadn't done so earlier! I've had the pattern ever since it came out, but for some reason it always got pushed to the back burner. It's a fabulous pattern-the instructions and tips are impeccable, and it sewed up … [Read more...]
KCWC: a batch of Go To leggings
October 22, 2013 By 16 Comments
I had prepped for KCWC by cutting out a bunch of Go To Leggings (affiliate link) for Ava while Kristin was here last weekend...and then later spent an afternoon sewing them up, and then fighting the urge to cut out and sew more. (darn halloween costumes needing to be sewn and all). I have to applaud Andrea again (and again...)for this amazing … [Read more...]
scallop baby quilt
October 18, 2013 By 19 Comments
Whew. This quilt had a ton of piecing! I loved the scallops though and I had to make it happen. Even through seam ripping a whole row. (the worst EVER! #quiltingproblems) I made it happen because it was for a dear, dear friend who means a lot to me. So anyways! I used my drunkard's path die from Accuquilt to cut all my pieces (it took about a … [Read more...]
weekend getaway blouse
October 16, 2013 By 17 Comments
I was beyond excited when I got an email from Liesl (yes THE Liesl of Oliver and S fame), last week asking if I wanted to sew up one of their newest women's patterns. Uhhh...ye-ah. Of course I did! I chose to sew up the Weekend Getaway blouse, which I am sorta in love with. I used some rayon (which I can't remember where I got-that just goes to … [Read more...]

Today's fabulous guest is Sabra from Sew a Straight Line! She is an amazing seamstress, MAKES HER OWN JEANS, hilarious to boot, and made a AWEsome Olivia dress-I mean, just check out that fabric. It totally reminds me of Fantasyland at Disneyland...right? Adorable. See more over on her blog! She's also giving away a copy of the pattern so don't … [Read more...]
