Yes, THE Riley Blake fabric company that you probably know and love and buy too much fabric from. (oh, just me? naw) This is one of the cool projects I was so coyly referring to last week. They sent me some lovely Sew Cherry fabric to play around with, and I decided to make some cinched up skirts-just like this one. Of course there's a full … [Read more...]

shades of teal skirt
March 2, 2011 By 13 Comments
I made this quick skirt using Care's tutorial, and some teal shirts from the dollar store and Michaels. I just LOVE the results! (shirt from Target) Sadie does too, despite her expression. She's a little harder to pose these days, she has her own ideas about what looks good, I guess. Like leaning against the wall, sneering. Yep, sorry hun, … [Read more...]

I never thought I could love a shirt this much-but it is possible. ;)I made it from another tee shirt-of course I didn't take a before picture. (because the power went out and I cut it out by flashlight. No power-so I thought I'd at least cut something out. What can I say-I'm a die hard) Just imagine a boxy, little boy shirt and you'll get the … [Read more...]
