Hey guys! I'm really excited to be a part of the Skater Dress Pattern Tour! 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...]
yellow leather moccs-pattern review and giveaway
April 2, 2013 By 9 Comments
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...]

March 29, 2013 By 37 Comments
GUYSSSSSS!!!! Project Run and Play is here! I am sooo excited.

Oh yeahhh...that's going on the resume....) So I am just giddy that I can finally participate fully. :-D I … [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...]
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...]

Charlotte’s Easter dress-yellow with a side of bow
March 18, 2013 By 26 Comments
So here's the first of the girls' Easter dresses this year. Cross your fingers that I will be able to finish the others. (I only have Sadie's left, woohoo!) That's one of the downsides to having all girls....no easy bow tie for the boy on holidays. (maybe next kid will be a boy!? we're having one more....let's all wish and hope and pray!) Anyways, … [Read more...]

topped with a bow tee
February 25, 2013 By 29 Comments
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...]
