Little Miss C has been a little obsessed with what she calls "THE ROAR SONG!", her birthday party theme only made that obsession deeper. I had some of this gorgeous Cotton & Steel lion fabric in my stash, and when she walked into my sewing room and flipped out with excitement while I was cutting it out, I knew I made the right choice! She loves … [Read more...]
little fox free cross stitch pattern and tutorial
November 19, 2014 By 13 Comments
Well you saw her woodland party, now for the party outfit! I had a flash of inspiration a few days before her party and created this cute fox cross stitch top! I can't wait to make more-I think enlarging the stitches gives it a fresh and modern take! PLUS, larger stitches=less stitches.... I only wish I'd made her a size 2T. She's a growing … [Read more...]

navy and coral Nessie
November 6, 2014 By 3 Comments
Not much to this top-a straight up Nessie-but the fabric in my opinion, makes it my favorite Nessie in Ava's drawers right now! You saw it on Sadie's raglan tee, but I think I love it even more by itself. There's something about aqua, coral, and navy-such a great combo. I just couldn't let the rest of that fabric go to waste. Usually after I … [Read more...]
liberty floral and striped geranium dress
November 3, 2014 By 19 Comments
Little Ava was due for a new church dress, and I was feeling some pattern mixing coming on! I grabbed this striped shirting (from Joann's-which I've used a few times! versatile!), and paired it with some delicate floral liberty. Which I've been hoarding for....awhile, let's just say. I decided to not let it waste away on the shelf, and I'm so … [Read more...]
