I made this dress....oh, over a month ago. Took pics, even edited them, but in all the hullabaloo of whatever is is that I was doing at the time (I have the worst memory), I forgot to post about it. Bad Blogger! tsk tsk. Anyways, it's just a simple knit dress that I whipped up* and since I am such a bad blogger, didn't take pics for a … [Read more...]

For day two of Kids Clothes Week, I finally, FINALLY sewed up a Greenpoint cardigan! and then quickly wondered why in the world I hadn't done so earlier! I've had the pattern ever since it came out, but for some reason it always got pushed to the back burner. It's a fabulous pattern-the instructions and tips are impeccable, and it sewed up … [Read more...]

I'm so honored and excited to be a part of Rachel's Sewlebrity series over on Family Ever After!

the katy dress tutorial
November 1, 2011 By 59 Comments
I feel a little like I've lost my focus lately on the blog...like I need to churn out tons of kiddo clothes to be a good blogger. Not entirely true, but still, kids clothes are my favorite thing to make, and I felt like I was getting out of that habit. (plus, the kids REALLY need some fall/winter stuff) So I set a goal yesterday to make something … [Read more...]
