new Junebug dress for Sadie
October 1, 2012 By 25 Comments
I usually don't enjoy sewing the same things over and over again (hence my old Etsy shop going kaput)....but Sadie really "needed" a dress this past week. Like I need a hole in my foot, but whatever. Most of the dresses I've made her over the past few months she doesn't like anymore. So I've learned to make sure fabric is ok with her highness … [Read more...]
Rainbow Dash costume-the hoodie
September 11, 2012 By 29 Comments
Today I'll show ya (or try reeally hard to show ya) how to make the Rainbow Dash hoodie! Most of this came together well, except the hood was a little small for the neck part. I fixed that with a little pleat in front and it looks fine to me. Well, fine for a costume, ya know? ;) We'll take ears, mane... ...and wings of course!See below for the … [Read more...]
Rainbow Dash costume-the pants
September 11, 2012 By 20 Comments
Hey there My Little Pony fans! I decided to split up the costume tutorial into two parts: today I'll show you how I made the pants, and tomorrow, the hoodie. There were just too many pictures for one post...you may say that about this one too, but I like to show lots of detail with steps-so sue me! (no, please don't... ;)See below for the … [Read more...]
belly+baby gauze baby blanket tutorial
September 10, 2012 By 21 Comments
You've probably seen those cute gauze swaddling blankets, right? They're all the rage nowadays. We didn't have that kind of tomfoolery when I had my last baby, so of course I had to get in on the hottest new baby item! I thought I'd try making some of my own, because that's what we bloggers do, am I right? I got my fabric on fabric.com and ordered … [Read more...]
car seat canopy
September 7, 2012 By 13 Comments
It's always fun making useful but cute things for babies, right? I've always had summer babies until now so I never thought a car seat canopy would get much use before (I bet it would have, though, at least to keep it dark when baby was sleeping)...but this time I figured November can be chilly, even here in Cali, and it might help keep strangers … [Read more...]

Rainbow Dash costume
August 29, 2012 By 59 Comments
Sadie is flat out obsessed with the My Little Pony show-she has all the characters in toy form (and some doubles), sleeps with them at night, acts out the plots of various episodes....and her favorite pony has always been Rainbow Dash. No wonder, I mean...she can fly and her mane and tail are the colors of the rainbow! So when I asked her what she … [Read more...]
the sweet & sassy dress: a tutorial
August 24, 2012 By 21 Comments
This dress pretty much named itself because Miss Sadie was being super sassy during this photo shoot! I couldn't believe the smiles I was getting out of her! Surprisingly it only cost me a leftover piece of saltwater taffy from her party....I was all ready with Squinkies and such nonsense. I think it's a fluke...pretty sure next time she'll be as … [Read more...]

You may have seen bits and pieces of the embroidery hoop decor I made for the new nursery, but here they are all together! With a few mini tutorials also!
