I know I say this a lot....Sadie seriously seems to sprout up out of her clothes quite regularly. Especially dresses! She was in need of a few play dresses, so I whipped up this Lulu that I've been wanting to make ever since seeing this Lulu one of my amazing testers, The Graceful Rose, made.

Once again, Ava was in "need" (I was bored with the hand me downs in her closet) of a new dress-and I had a yard of this gorgeous new fabric from the Arizona line that was burning a hole through my fabric shelf. I paired it with some chambray (same fabric as these shorts) and tada! Her hair is getting long!! I sewed up a 2T size of the Norah … [Read more...]

So Ava needs some new dresses-the hand me downs she has are either getting small, kinda worn out since they've been through two girls already, or, I'm sick of looking at them. haha! probably more of the latter going on if I'm being honest. Who doesn't like something fresh and new to wear once in awhile? It's good for ya. So I wanted to make … [Read more...]

So I let myself sew up another Sally dress, this time for the Sadester, since she has been growing out of church dresses left and right. I sewed this one up in a 4T bodice, … [Read more...]
