October 19, 2011 By 31 Comments
So you saw the shower I co-hosted for my pal Aimee, right? So....I kind of went a little handmade crazy for her present. I couldn't help it! Baby girl stuff is just too much fun to make. My favorite part of her gift was this little quilt I made for baby Penny. It's not pieced, obviously, just two yards of fabric layered with batting and quilted, … [Read more...]

Do ya like my title? So..the other day I thought I had a cute outfit (don't burst my balloon if I really don't, lol), so I grabbed Sadie to come and document it for me.

KCWC-Sadie’s Abbey jacket
October 15, 2011 By 34 Comments
My semi-last minute contribution to KCWC was this Abbey jacket for Sadie. Adorbs, right? I made it with this pattern, which was great! I used charcoal grey fleece from Joanns (hope it doesn't pill too much), and a napkin for the lining. Yes, a napkin. A girl's gotta get fabric wherever she can!I got it in Utah in May, since it was such a cute print … [Read more...]

KCWC-90 minute tops
October 14, 2011 By 7 Comments
Soo...I whipped up a couple of 90 minute shirts yesterday for the girls-matching ones-since I had enough fabric. They really like them-either that, or Charlotte is really excited about a tree. (probably the tree)I say "whipped up" like it's no biggie, but really once you do a few of them, they don't take much time! I think both shirts together took … [Read more...]

Grey and pink are so adorable together, don't you think? Especially for the littles. I made this quick dress (using my Ice Cream Social dress tutorial) for a baby girl on the way...I hope she and her momma like it. :) I added some loops on either side and a tie-cute huh? I also did the sleeves a little differently-I think I'll also add a … [Read more...]

It's a simple little A-line shift with a button closure (of course), and a big pleated panel in the front. (size 9-12 … [Read more...]
