Well, after saying no to Charlotte's questioning "Dat por me?" while I've been sewing for Sadie this week, I gave in and made her a top...how could you resist that face, I ask you? You can't, don't bother talking to your computer screen answering me. The cheeks will eat you aliiiive! Anyways, I used the Ruffle Top/Dress pattern, and it was … [Read more...]
KCWC: hot air balloon tee and applique skirt
April 24, 2013 By 19 Comments
Outfit #3! a skirt and shirt combo...with my favorite color combination right now-coral and gold! (obviously) I drafted this cap sleeved slightly gathered neckline top, then stamped the heck out of it with my hot air balloon stamp and some gold paint. I got lazy with the sleeves and haphazardly sewed them under 1/8", but whatevs. It fits and I was … [Read more...]
KCWC: bubble pocket shorts and polka dot tee (and giveaway/coupon code)
April 24, 2013 By 30 Comments
Outfit #2! I'm loving this one...these shorts are my favorite part. I have plans to make a few more pairs! I used the Bubble Pocket Shorts pattern and it was a great pattern! I sewed up the 3/4T size, & they should definitely fit her at least a year, yay! It was easy to sew up (about 1.5 hours for me, and that was while being semi-distracted by … [Read more...]

I've been a stampin' fool lately, guys! I do not know how it took me so long to do this....I've stamped fabric before, but carving your own stamps opens up a whole new world of creativity and options! (cue: Aladdin.....) Suffice it to say, I am having way too much fun. Count on a little how to post for carving stamps, soon! Until then...here's … [Read more...]

topped with a bow tee

This latest tee for Miss C was a refashion-I spotted this top at the thrift store on 50% off day, and it hopped right into my hands. By itself. Ok...maybe not, but as soon as I saw those coral and grey stripes, I knew it was meant to be. I always forget to take a before pic, but picture it as a boxy, shapeless tee. But with a cute pattern and … [Read more...]

I couldn't very well leave Charlotte out of the Great Top-Sewing Marathon of 2013, now could I? So don't worry, you'll see more of her cheekies soon. And that belly stuffed in that shirt! I die. So cute! I guess I should make more room in her future shirts for that toddler tummy, but I kind of love how it looks. Why is that only cute when you're … [Read more...]

February 1, 2013 By 20 Comments
The second Sadie saw this shirt she called it her zebra shirt. lol...I haven't heard chevron described as that yet! This one is one of my faves of late...it came out just like I pictured, which is always exciting when it happens. I used this fabric for the top, and some coral knit for the bias tape. It's really similar to the Playdate dress in … [Read more...]
