I think this little top might just be my favorite thing of late. Perfect shade of coral? check. lace? check. looks adorable on my mini human? check. See the before down at the bottom, but I scored this adorable knit tee whilst thrifting-the front had a lace overlay which I LOVED. I debated back and forth with what to make with it-it almost … [Read more...]
Nessie circus top
January 14, 2015 By 12 Comments
You are probably thinking to yourself...she's calling this a Nessie top? hmm it's missing a certain hemline....well you would be right! I used my Nessie pattern for this top, I basically slimmed down the sides and evened up the hem for a basic tee! #versatalitybaby I used this amazing circus fabric I had gotten from Amanda's shop last year … [Read more...]

I had a marathon sewing session earlier in the week-I cut out a ton of tops and then sat down and sweat shopped my way through the stack! Mostly for Charlotte, to her delight. First up: this ADORABLE want-to-steal-it-for-myself bicycle print peplum top. Fabric is from the Imagine Gnats shop, and it's a fantastic knit. (I have a ton more fabric … [Read more...]
little fox free cross stitch pattern and tutorial
November 19, 2014 By 13 Comments
Well you saw her woodland party, now for the party outfit! I had a flash of inspiration a few days before her party and created this cute fox cross stitch top! I can't wait to make more-I think enlarging the stitches gives it a fresh and modern take! PLUS, larger stitches=less stitches.... I only wish I'd made her a size 2T. She's a growing … [Read more...]

So psyched to be a part of the Pretty in Peplum blog tour! I couldn't wait to sew up this dress. Charlotte has a similar one from H&M and I always meant to copy it for the other girls, and then Abby went and made this awesome pattern. I've said it once, I'll say it again, I love when people do the hard work for you. ;) Anyways! We also … [Read more...]
navy and coral Nessie
November 6, 2014 By 3 Comments
Not much to this top-a straight up Nessie-but the fabric in my opinion, makes it my favorite Nessie in Ava's drawers right now! You saw it on Sadie's raglan tee, but I think I love it even more by itself. There's something about aqua, coral, and navy-such a great combo. I just couldn't let the rest of that fabric go to waste. Usually after I … [Read more...]

I love this pattern hack I did the other week-using the Nessie top pattern, I made this swingy gathered top for little Miss Ava! It was SO easy to do, and I'll show you how below. But first, feast your eyes on way too many pics of Ava. Hey, my blog, my amount of pics. Plus, this fabric. swoon. I don't know where it's from, but it's … [Read more...]

More little zippys! I warned you they were coming. You know me, I find a good pattern I like and I make a meellion of them. Sigh. 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...]
