upcycled & shirred knit top

I've been cleaning out old drafted posts, and found this adorable set of photos from an upcycle I did years ago for Charlotte! I can't remember what pattern I used for the base, but I just had to share the pics because she's SOOO little and adorable. I loved how the shirt turned out too! Do you ever find projects from years ago and have fun … [Read more...]

olive flashback skinny tee

I know probably, that some people don't care to see every t shirt I make this year. But to be accurate, and because Jack is a cutie pie (even with his weird I'm-eating-swedish-fish-faces), I am going to blog everything I make him, even if it ends up being a flop or a gift (because I got so caught up in boy making I made a few things for my friend … [Read more...]

YOTB boxwood joggers

I'm loving these sweet little joggers on my Jack! I also made some jeans for him this week, which was a THING, so these were a nice quick project to whip up! I sewed up my friend Melissa's pattern, the boxwood joggers, in a size 12-18 months. I just LOVE the cute triangle pocket detail. I think in my next pair I want to try some color blocking … [Read more...]

YOTB flashback skinny tee

woohoo! The first article of clothing for my year of the boy challenge! I had a feeling shirts were going to be staples for me, so why not start out with one? I had this lovely grey striped Lillestoff fabric sitting on the shelf too, that was calling my name. I sewed up the Flashback Skinny tee pattern......GUYS it was the first one I've ever … [Read more...]

mauve floral kensington dress

If ever I could literally, physically, swoon over a fabric, it would probably be this one. Double brushed jersey knit is the stuff of dreams, peeps. The hand is incredible, and it's buttery soft and so easy to sew with! I am almost regretting sewing something for Sadie out of it instead of being selfish and either hoarding it or sleeping with it … [Read more...]

Another sweet little dress for the Sadester! I'm loving the Kensington dress pattern-it's the perfect little knit dress...I have plans for about a bajillion more of these. ha!

grey quilted skater dress

 I've had this fabulous grey quilted fabric in my stash for awhile-the plans were to make a cardigan out of it originally, but then I couldn't stop picturing a cute little skater dress, so in the end that won out! and I love it! It's super cozy and simple! I knew I needed to use the skater dress pattern because I didn't want to gather the … [Read more...]

little tees for Jack

Whipped up a few little tees for the boy the other week-I know he won't fit them for very long but by golly he looks so cute in them I don't really mind! Plus they're so easy and quick to make! Less than half an hour to tee-time. lol. I fell in love with this cute dog print knit and thought it went well with the olive green neckband and … [Read more...]

OHHH my gosh I am just in LOVE with the new line of knits called Idle Wild! Just released by Riley Blake and designed by the Pattern Anthology ladies! When they invited me to be a part of their tour, it was YES and then I had to try and choose the fabrics I wanted...which was hard they are all adorable. I'm wishing I'd gotten some birdies too … [Read more...]

C’s comfy kindergarten outfit

Little Miss C has started Kindergarten and is rocking it! She loves her teacher, and has made some cute little friends. I love watching her grow and thrive, and part of that is being comfortable, so I always try to have comfy clothes for her to wear to school in her dresser. So this lil' outfit fit the bill! Oh and it didn't hurt that I was invited … [Read more...]
