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.

I had pinned this free tutorial and pattern for baby/toddler Toms awhile back now, but for some reason I felt an itch to make some RIGHT NOW.

And before you think I forced any of them into … [Read more...]

I've already sewn up (and loved!) one of LouBee Clothing's patterns-the Bimaa, so I was dying to take a swing at her Hosh pants after seeing them all over blogland.

October 23, 2013 By 18 Comments
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...]
