It's a sickness. :D I knew I was going to make something for Sadie out of this mustang fabric-I love it enough that I want it to last through all 3 girls if possible. So there you go. Mustang Zippy! with navy … [Read more...]

batch of little zippy tops for Ava
September 25, 2014 By 26 Comments
Ava is moving up into 24 mo & 2T clothing! Which is exciting because I get to sew her some new stuff up!

floral coral raglan tee
September 22, 2014 By 10 Comments
I love raglan tees. Not only are the sleeves SO easy (straight lines? I got this), but they allow for some cute pattern mixing or color blocking. And you know when a fabric combo just jumps out at you and you HAVE to sew it up right then and there? Well that's what happened here.

I had some of this amazing (buttery soft) fabric in my stash, asking to be made into a vintage-esque little dress for Ava!
