I had a baby shower a few weeks ago for an old friend-well she's not old, just...well you know. I've known her forevers. Anyways, she's having her first baby-(a girl!) so I knew I wanted to shower her with homemade goodies. She's got amazing style so I tried to pick fabrics out that were stylin'...haha who knows if I succeeded but I … [Read more...]
KCW: more Nessies
April 12, 2014 By 21 Comments
We can never have too many Nessie tops around this house-I love it as a basic tee, and with the variations too! After Amanda from Kitschycoo was sweet enough to send me some of the incredible fabric from her shop, I knew it was destined for greatness. Ok, cheesy yes, but seriously. This fabric deserved to be showcased! DEERS! This fabric … [Read more...]
KCW: solid bateau tops
April 10, 2014 By 6 Comments
This is one of those projects I thought would be a good idea. "just whip up some solid colored tees to build up Sadie's wardrobe" I said to myself. Self, next time just buy solid tees. Seriously these actually weren't too bad, but since I wasn't customizing them or anything, they were a bit boring to sew up...just repetitive I guess. But … [Read more...]

You may have seen the awesomeness that is the new Pattern Anthology collection-4 knit top patterns for WOMEN! And they are all so cute and stylish. I had a tough time deciding which one to make, honestly! I might have to shamelessly copy Stef's Parisian top at a later date...I heart it SO much. I decided on the City Girl top (designed by … [Read more...]

One more project for KCW that's been on my list for awhile-I really wanted to make a Nessie sweatshirt with a liberty heart on the front. So I did it. Can I get a huzzah for crossing things off your list!? *huzzah!* Anyways. It's SUPER cozy. Sadie wasn't thrilled about our photo shoot which was in the morning when it was still a little chilly. … [Read more...]
KCW: grey and mint bimaa sweater
February 2, 2014 By 14 Comments
Mint and grey-another color grey goes well with! (it's a great neutral wouldn't you say?) I just had to make another Bimaa sweater after my first one. Sadie doesn't wear it, sadly. She doesn't like the cowl very much. boo! But Charlotte has worn it, I'm just waiting til it fits a bit better before I let her wear it out of the house. I must admit I … [Read more...]

I finished up a springy outfit for the littlest the other day-a pair of Go To Leggings (affliate linkaroo) (fabric from Hobby Lobby), and a Sweet Dress top made with some soft yellow polka dot fabric. I love grey and yellow together, don't you? So fresh yet classic. Oh and I made another pair of these moccs for Ava-love love love them! Ava was … [Read more...]
KCWC: aztec print skater dress
January 30, 2014 By 8 Comments
More stuff I made during Kids Clothes Week! I love love love this challenge, always have. It's a real kick in the toosh for me. Especially now since I'm in a teensy bit of a sewing slump. Making a few quick things here and there makes me feel productive, and getting out of the house for a real photo shoot is fun! At least for me. You'd think I'd … [Read more...]

First day of Kids Clothes Week! (for me, at least...) Yes, so.....sewing? Let's talk 'bout that. Cause it's fun. I am straight up addicted to the GO TO Leggings pattern (affiliate link). It takes me roughly 1/2 hour now to make a pair. Shazam! that's fast. I got this obnoxiously awesome (it's ok if you don't like it, but I DO) granny knit … [Read more...]
I’m a penelope peplum fan club member
January 13, 2014 By 23 Comments
My good friend Kate just came out with her first womens pattern, the Penelope Peplum. (aside: best pattern name EVER) and it is awesome! A quick sew, cute and flattering, and comes together perfectly. I sewed up a large but I think if I make it again I'll do a medium. I used elastic thread in the bobbin when sewing the peplum to the top of the … [Read more...]
