This is one of those projects I thought would be a good idea. "just whip up some solid colored tees to build up Sadie's wardrobe" I said to myself. Self, next time just buy solid tees. Seriously these actually weren't too bad, but since I wasn't customizing them or anything, they were a bit boring to sew up...just repetitive I guess. But … [Read more...]

First off, I am SO psyched to be a part of Katy's Sew All 26 series! I love all her ideas for series, and I adore having a theme to work with. (read: Project Run and Play) I immediately signed up for the letter Z when she first emailed me. For two reasons-it was at the end, and I have been a bit of a procrastinator always lately. Secondly-I had … [Read more...]

Like one I wanna make for Sadie asap. Hope I can get to that soon! Anyways...I just started picturing one on Ava and had to sew one up the other afternoon. I made a 18mo/2T size, … [Read more...]
