July 17, 2013 By 15 Comments
Humor me.I have a slightly enormous obsession with taking pics of my littlest lately. Like a moth to a flame, I just can't stop. And it's totally normal to be obsessed with your own kids, right?

Finally getting around to posting one of the muslins I made for Project Run and Play-this one for the week 3 look. Definitely turned out wearable, though I changed the sleeves and left out the gathered waist for the final top. She loves it nonetheless! I don't have a tutorial for this, but thought I'd share anyways! I have lots of fun stuff coming … [Read more...]

KCWC: Leia is my homegirl cap sleeved tee (and a striped one)
April 29, 2013 By 28 Comments
I have one more KCWC outfit after this tee, almost done with the posts for that, I had so much fun! OK, so this tee is definitely a wish-I'd-sewn-it-for-myself type of project! Rory and I are huge Star Wars fans, but not having any boys is cramping his style. Or so he thinks. I'm doing my best to indoctrinate our girly girls about SW mythology, … [Read more...]

So...starting to wind down from the high of KCWC-I personally challenge myself to make as many pieces as possible...and I think I averaged 3 pieces per day. I don't recommend this. I am wiped out! But hey, Sadie's spring/summer wardrobe is looking pretty good! So there's that. :} This outfit is one of my faves! Let's talk about the top first, cause … [Read more...]
