I know I have had too much fun sewing up a whole slew of Lulus! I am really excited that this is my first pattern using diagrams instead of tutorial pictures.

floral sally dress
April 29, 2014 By 16 Comments
I made this dress when I really should have been making other things...like my other two Easter dresses...but once I get a bee in my bonnet about something-it just takes over. 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...]

April 20, 2014 By 30 Comments
I had a baby shower a few weeks ago for an old friend-well she's not old, just...well you know. I've known her forevers. Anyways, she's having her first baby-(a girl!) so I knew I wanted to shower her with homemade goodies. She's got amazing style so I tried to pick fabrics out that were stylin'...haha who knows if I succeeded but I … [Read more...]

We can never have too many Nessie tops around this house-I love it as a basic tee, and with the variations too! After Amanda from Kitschycoo was sweet enough to send me some of the incredible fabric from her shop, I knew it was destined for greatness. Ok, cheesy yes, but seriously. This fabric deserved to be showcased! DEERS! This fabric … [Read more...]
KCW: sweet polka dot baby bonnet
April 11, 2014 By 13 Comments
The second I saw my pal Kristin pin this sweet bonnet from Purl Soho-I knew it was next on my hit sew list. I printed the free pattern off then and there and then, waited for the energy. (I've been battling a cold/bad sore throat for about a week...bleg!) Finally...I got some energy (thanks to a friend dropping off a mango smoothie! … [Read more...]
KCW: solid bateau tops
April 10, 2014 By 6 Comments
This is one of those projects I thought would be a good idea. "just whip up some solid colored tees to build up Sadie's wardrobe" I said to myself. Self, next time just buy solid tees. Seriously these actually weren't too bad, but since I wasn't customizing them or anything, they were a bit boring to sew up...just repetitive I guess. But … [Read more...]

After making the Georgia twirl dress for Sadie, she requested more "twirly twirly" skirts. And since her requests shall be granted if they are 1. Easy 2. Fast 3. It's Kids Clothes Week and 4. She asks.... ....I made her some. Such a pushover, I know. These are SOOO quick though that they almost sew themselves. You could try leaving them … [Read more...]
