Sewing and Such
I made these at the beginning of KCW, but she just would NOT let me take pictures of her wearing them! I had these sweat pants I had bought from Delia's years ago. They seemed to have shrunk over time and just sat in my closet, but I couldn't donate them because the hearts were …
I've said before that bibs are sooo boring to sew, but they're really a necessity with tiny ones. My 16 month old is pouring saliva everywhere with each tooth she cuts. The store bought ones just aren't cutting it, and the 3 I made a year ago are still going strong. A couple of weeks …
My daughter LOVES putting things to bed. It's crazy, but since she could first walk, she was tucking things in. I can't believe we didn't think of this sooner, but the perfect toy for her is a bed! After seeing these plans, I knew exactly what she was getting for Christmas! It was put together …

Over the summer of 2013 my older daughter, …

Since it was Kids Clothes Week (KCW), decided to make my older daughter another top. This time I used the Geranium Dress pattern, but used the top option with pleats and faux cap sleeves.The theme for KCW this season is Storybook. I had so many ideas, but what I ended up doing was using this …
Little Kitty Zippy Top (aka Cookie's Week top) I was noticing all of the super adorable Halloween tops and decided to make one for my girl. She LOVES cats, so we settled on a cat themed top. Then as we were looking at cat silhouettes, she found a really cute one that decidedly does NOT …
