Sadie really likes ladybugs, so this fabric was perfect for her. (and like $2 a yard at Joann's) I've been saving it for just the right top, and I've also been saving this tutorial from Prudent Baby....so I finally put one and one together and made....this! I'm no newcomer to peasant tops, but I loove the cinched in waist, so I had to try it. … [Read more...]

Our neighbor has this perfect wooden fence...I never thought to stick Sadie in front of it for our photo shoots, but I love it! There were some people looking at the house for sale across the street, they probably thought I was a weirdo, posing my daughter in front of a fence. If they'd only known it was for a blog! Then they really would have … [Read more...]

For this green one, I used this tutorial for the flowers...love them! for this purple one I TRIED to use this tutorial...but couldn't figure out how to make the … [Read more...]
quick long sleeved refashion
July 1, 2010 By 13 Comments
So this shirt used to be plain and had long sleeves. Long sleeves are not a good look for me most of the time. Short, short cap sleeves are also a no. This shirt was $3 on clearance though, and I had it in mind for a refashion, so rules are meant to be broken sometimes!So in the great sleeve length debate, in the middle there is that sweet … [Read more...]

Here's to hoping I'll be wearing normal clothes within a month! (or monthS) My wishful thinking side took over as I passed these clearance shirts at Target. ($3.50 each!) All during this pregnancy I've seen the cutest shirt makeovers and longed for the day when I could make stuff for me again. I mean, there are maternity tutorials out there, but … [Read more...]

This outfit I made Sadie to wear for the Fourth of July (assuming I won't be in labor or something, in which case, Mom, this is what Sadie should wear if we're in the hospital), might be a little early, but as you may know, I am trying my hardest to as much done before this baby comes. Such as party planning, outfit-making, etc...you know, she can … [Read more...]

summery top
April 29, 2010 By 6 Comments
Another tank top...are you sick of them yet? A little tunic top...a tad wide in the shoulders...next one I make will have to be a bit slimmer. I know, this girl has a ton of clothes, I just have a bunch of fabric that I want to use, so oh well! (Plus, I'm a bit addicted, if you haven't noticed) I love the little pockets. (Sadie filled them with … [Read more...]
