I did a little refashion the other week and it turned into this little square necked top! It's made from a thrifted tee (I always forget to take a before pic, just imagine a really boxy tee and pretend I did), and I decided to play with the stripes a bit! Taking my cues from this fab tutorial...this tee was created. The knit I was working with was … [Read more...]

October 23, 2012 By 20 Comments
Hooray! With only days to spare I finally made Charlotte's Halloween costume. Slacker much? I only say that because I made Sadie's a whole like....2 months ago. I've told you before I don't like making most things twice, right? Anyways...I finally buckled down and love how it turned out...so does Miss C, which is what really matters right?! She … [Read more...]
KCWC: coral elephant dress and a wrap up
October 15, 2012 By 26 Comments
Here it is...my last project for the Kids Clothes Week Challenge. I had so much fun this go-around, got so many basis etc made for the girls...but I think it wiped me out. A little break from sewing is in order. (but not too long!)So I started making this elephant print dress with the intention that it would be for Sadie. I ended up making a bad … [Read more...]
KCWC: raglan tees
October 13, 2012 By 17 Comments
In the interest of stash busting (ya know....because that means I can buy more fabric if I use what I have, right?), I made these two long sleeved raglan tops for the Sadester....seriously they are so fast! The longest part was doing that hedgehog applique. This tee needed a little somethin' so I decided to "put a hedgehog on it". (Adrianna's … [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. It was just a matter of time til I sewed up this one...after all it has a great name! ;) The fabric is Josephine Kimberling Just Dandy in Scattered … [Read more...]
KCWC: lace and magenta top
October 11, 2012 By 9 Comments
I thrifted this super soft tee and refashioned it into this layered lacy top...you maybe can't tell, but the lace is layered with strips of fabric cut from the sleeves of the original tee. I have to rework the neck a bit but besides that it came together fairly quickly! Just another fall basic...I think that's why I love KCWC so much, it forces me … [Read more...]
KCWC: baby circle skirts

More KCWC clothes!! (I've got more coming, too...I may (a teensy bit) be going through my nesting phase....)I also whipped up some teeny tiny baby circle skirts yesterday....These took hardly any time at all. The only thing that slowed me down was a power outage. In the middle of hemming. In the afternoon. ??? Whatevs at least it only lasted an … [Read more...]
KCWC: grey polka dot top
October 9, 2012 By 24 Comments
I really love how this top turned out! So hipster-ish. I made it with some of this huge bolt of grey fabric that I got a long time ago, and was glad to use some of it up. I used fabric paint for the dots and one of those foam dot brushes...just eyeballed the distances between dots. Added some bands around the sleeves and bottom to keep it fitted, … [Read more...]

This bodice design has been on my mind for like...ever. (and a day) So finally I gave it a go! I love how it turned out, and now I want to make another for Sadie with striped fabric, how fun, right? I may (emphasis on the may) even attempt this as a pattern to sell. Hold the phone, folks. We'll see how I feel after this next little one makes her … [Read more...]
KCWC: leggings and raglan top
October 8, 2012 By 10 Comments
I actually started a little early on KCWC-on Saturday a good friend came over to learn how to make leggings for her little girl, and after we made a pair with this heart fabric I had to make some of my own with the leftover fabric. (once you've made a few they don't take much time at all...or assembly line them out! p.s. thanks Greta for the … [Read more...]
