yes, another dress. I can't help it! It's like spring is forcing me to sew all these spring-y dresses for Sadie.

I made this little peasant top from a clearance shower curtain found at Target. ($5 thank you very much) The main part was used to make a spring-y tablecloth (thanks to my friend Cassy for that idea!)...and this was made from the leftover material, which I think made a pretty darn cute shirt! Just goes to show that you can find fabric almost … [Read more...]

Since the weather has been so nice lately, Sadie and I have been spending a lot of time at the park for play dates and such. I've taken to bringing her lunch along so that she can eat it while we're there, other wise she falls asleep on the car ride home and doesn't get to eat lunch. No good!So, I thought, instead of tossing her sandwich, banana, … [Read more...]
