I am seriously loving this year of the boy goal I made because I am LOVING seeing my little guy in his mama-mades! It makes me so happy and glad I am sewing again. Which then keeps the sewing mojo going...hopefully for the whole year. :D I chose to make him a cute sweatshirt out of this scuba knit I found in the remnant bin at Joann! The … [Read more...]
YOTB dusty blue lumberjack hat
January 15, 2018 By 6 Comments
Here's the thing about this hat. Jack absolutely despises it... He was crying most of the time he wore it for pics and we only got some pictures because I gave him so many gummy bears. BUT I think he looks adorable in it and I hope that he wears it without freaking out eventually. I used Delia's adorable and free pattern, and bought the … [Read more...]
YOTB grey and green triangle raglan
January 8, 2018 By 10 Comments
Another week, another shirt! This time it was a Recess Raglan for little Jack Jack. I adore raglan tees-they are SO easy to sew up and also to customize with different fabrics! This one I sewed up in a 12-18 month size and it fits well, although the sleeves are too long. I think my kids have short arms! Or this specific kid at least. … [Read more...]

January 4, 2018 By 6 Comments
woohoo! The first article of clothing for my year of the boy challenge! I had a feeling shirts were going to be staples for me, so why not start out with one? I had this lovely grey striped Lillestoff fabric sitting on the shelf too, that was calling my name. I sewed up the Flashback Skinny tee pattern......GUYS it was the first one I've ever … [Read more...]
BLUSH fabric baby blanket

I am in love with Dana's new gorgeous line of Art Gallery fabric, BLUSH. SO pretty! I picked out the floret bright for my baby blanket-NOT an announcement, just made it for my sister in law's new baby on the way. (spoiler alert, Steph!) Paired it with some double gauze for a super soft, versatile blanket! I just wanted to snuggle this blanket while … [Read more...]
mermaid skirt tutorial
September 29, 2017 By 20 Comments
Mermaid skirt time! Perfect for costumes, Disneyland trips, or viewings of The Little Mermaid on Broadway! (which was our reason!) Here is the fabulous fabric I found to make the skirts-I got all three skirts out of one yard of fabric, so the cost was amazing! So the size I am making I would call a 4-6 girls size. My girls ages 4, 7, and 9 are … [Read more...]

WHAAAAAT? A blog post? what's that you say? I'm going to attempt to resuscitate this poor ol blog, so first things first...blog all the things I made and didn't blog! Because even when I don't write about what I make...it still means it was made. I still love to MAKE. It's in my blood. I started working on Halloween costumes today and I felt so … [Read more...]

I feel like me and the Geranium pattern are best buds. We've been through it all....cap sleeves, flutter, color blocking, many, many, dresses, hacking a circle skirt, Princess Bride costumes, Anna costume, tops, baby gifts...you name it almost, I've made it with the help of my trusty favorite dress pattern EVER. It's been my go to ever since Ava … [Read more...]
striped coral dress
May 22, 2017 By 6 Comments
Ok, so this dress is probably my favorite of the three Easter dresses! I just love a good play on stripes! I got this white and coral striped fabric ages ago-at Hobby Lobby maybe? I played around with my old 5 and 10 Designs bodice but it pretty much ended up being a Geranium dress with the bodice lengthened and cap sleeve option, if you need a … [Read more...]
simple floral dress
May 15, 2017 By 4 Comments
Sadie's Easter dress turned out just how I imagined! This floral cotton and steel/rifle paper co fabric really needed to shine, so I kept it SIMPLE! I used a simple bodice pattern-the same thing could be replicated with the Geranium Pattern, bodice lengthened. I made the skirt panels extra wide so it would gather up beautifully and be OH so … [Read more...]
