You may have seen the awesomeness that is the new Pattern Anthology collection-4 knit top patterns for WOMEN! And they are all so cute and stylish. I had a tough time deciding which one to make, honestly! I might have to shamelessly copy Stef's Parisian top at a later date...I heart it SO much. I decided on the City Girl top (designed by … [Read more...]

Mint and grey-another color grey goes well with! (it's a great neutral wouldn't you say?) I just had to make another Bimaa sweater after my first one. Sadie doesn't wear it, sadly. She doesn't like the cowl very much. boo! But Charlotte has worn it, I'm just waiting til it fits a bit better before I let her wear it out of the house. I must admit I … [Read more...]

More stuff I made during Kids Clothes Week! I love love love this challenge, always have. It's a real kick in the toosh for me. Especially now since I'm in a teensy bit of a sewing slump. Making a few quick things here and there makes me feel productive, and getting out of the house for a real photo shoot is fun! At least for me. You'd think I'd … [Read more...]

January 20, 2014 By 22 Comments
So the girls have been a bit chilly lately at ballet class. They have class in a large, slightly drafty room, and were in need of either some long sleeved leotards or sweaters.

Is it weird to say that I am in love with my own pattern? If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right, I guess. But I love how quick it is to sew up and how comfy and easy to wear it is. Little Miss C needed some new leggings and long sleeves, so I whipped up this red heathered Nessie top for her, and added a little gold pocket. To go with it, a pair … [Read more...]
