...and that's it! lol. I know I said I was done, but I had to make SOMETHING with this fabric, I've been pondering what to do with it for awhile. It's a shower curtain, from Target, found at Goodwill. ;) So I whipped up a little skirt last Friday (it's hemmed already so I didn't have to do that!), with a cute ruffle at the top. It took about 20 … [Read more...]

All done with the Kids Clothes Week challenge! It was a fun week, I got to make some cute clothes for the Sadester, and tried to use up some of my fabric that was just sitting around. I reached my goal of one item/outfit per day, so yay! The last one was something easy, another easy breezy tank (dress)...I almost didn't manage to make anything … [Read more...]

My first item for Kids Clothes Week: a dress. Are you shocked? Surprised? hah. hah. Anyways...I gotta say, this is my new FAVE of Sadie's dress collection!

I think, so I only used about 3/4 of a yard, so CHEAP dress!), and … [Read more...]

(starting today!) There's no prize, just a fun opportunity to put aside time to sew for your kids. I can't wait and my mind is … [Read more...]

I don't think I've ever had this quick of a turnaround for a refashioned item! I bought this skirt in the morning ($1.50), and by the end of nap, she had a new dress! (with a few adjustments) Rory called it scandalous, I call it summery. (ok, maybe a bit scandalous, but she's still a baby!) ...and waaayy easy. (those extra letters are to impress … [Read more...]
