I had gotten my hands on some of this adorable Riley Blake knit, and I was picturing sewing it into a simple knit dress, and then I remembered I had printed out the Kensington pattern awhile ago, but never cut anything out for some reason...so it was the perfect pattern for this! I cut out and sewed up a size 5 and just eeked that out of a yard of … [Read more...]

My friend Alexis is having her second girl, and if you know me at all, you know I love making girly things. (it's kind of my life) So I started off with some felt flower & elastic headbands! tutorials for them here, here, and here! The top peach flower tutorial is coming soon. :) Of course, a Bapron! I made it with the remnants of fabric … [Read more...]
I’m so Fancy floral tee-free floral transfer!
August 5, 2015 By 8 Comments
I had a hankering to make some more TAP paper tees-and this time with some floral wording! I usually don't go for words on shirts, unless it's star wars, or really cute. This one has the latter at least! Charlotte and Sadie are obsessed with the Iggy Azalea I'm So Fancy song (the Kidz Bop version...haha), they sing it randomly during the day and … [Read more...]

August 1, 2015 By 2 Comments
Another month, another Sew Fab Club fabulous set of patterns! This month is the Lille Dress and the Cannes Cover up! We have been hitting the beach and pool this summer like no other (my in laws have a pool at their new place which is SO awesome), and so cover ups are always handy! I knew Sadie would rock this one too. If you missed all the fun … [Read more...]
aqua and white swimsuit
July 28, 2015 By 5 Comments
Another Cosi! Although this one's a bit of a pattern hack-I chopped the top portion of the front and back pattern pieces and color blocked the teal with white. I added a little bow and some simple straps to the back! I do wish I had made the color blocked white portion thicker, but you know how it goes when you're just winging it...sometimes it … [Read more...]
striped cosi suit
July 22, 2015 By 7 Comments
I made this suit before our trip to Bear Lake, but took pics after and you can see how Charlotte got some sun while we were there! All the girls have got that adorable tan line, and I LOVE it. Again, a cosi suit, and I can't remember where I got the fabric! Girl Charlee, maybe? That's my best guess. Sadie played stylist for this shoot and … [Read more...]
watercolor swimsuit
July 20, 2015 By 4 Comments
This one ended up being for Sadie after all was said and done...size 5 was just too long for her torso! But she was bent on taking the pics herself, so we did just that, cutie pie. Again the ever awesome Cosi swimsuit was my pattern of choice, with this fun watercolor-esque fabric! it fits my long little Sadie much better, but Charlotte is … [Read more...]
kraken dress
July 15, 2015 By 11 Comments
It was high time my kraken got a kraken dress, right? The second I saw the cotton & steel octopi fabric, I knew it was meant to be. I'm kind of a creature of ease-if I have a pattern cut out on my table already, more often than not I'll just use it again. So this is the same tute I used for this dress...it worked with the one yard of … [Read more...]
toddler backpack
July 11, 2015 By 10 Comments
We are taking a plane trip this summer out to Utah for a family reunion and I've been gathering things for the girls to carry in their backpacks-the older two at least. I figured I'd carry Ava's stuff...but the second she saw that they were getting backpacks...well you know the drill. She insisted on one of her own. I could barely find a backpack … [Read more...]
