I fell in love with this fabric (Always in Bloom by RJR Fabrics), and had to get me some. I found it at a little general store on our way home a few weeks ago from a women's retreat for church. Random, huh? It was only $4/yard too! Nice!So I decided to go for a skirt-you've seen this style of skirt floating around the blogs, right? It has a … [Read more...]

kids clothes week-grey fleece sweater
September 28, 2010 By 23 Comments
I love how this sweater turned out! I wish I'd lined it in cotton though, instead of more fleece, it's a bit stiff in the arms. (Christmas Story style) Anyways-it was fun to sew-and pretty easy to put together. I used this pattern. Another piece for the Sadester's fall/winter wardrobe! … [Read more...]

September 27, 2010 By 15 Comments
It's official. She's mastered the snooty ignore-the-camera model look. Which I still think is adorable, but I'm biased. sheesh, this color is kinda hurting my eyes on the screen. I promise it's not that red/bright in real life. More pink/magenta-but whatever! Here's one of my attempts to build up Sadie's fall/winter wardrobe. As of now she … [Read more...]

kids clothes week-teal bow top and corduroy skirt
September 23, 2010 By 28 Comments
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...]
kids clothes week-warm PJ’s
September 22, 2010 By 19 Comments
It's been getting a bit chillier at night here (granted, it's still Cali, but anyways....), so Sadie's summer PJ's are no longer in season. Hence...winter PJ's! It's not rocket science, but I digress. PJ's can get so expensive! I love making them, they're a quick project (especially since my new baby serger came to live with us) and fun to … [Read more...]
