Sewing and Such
Now that the hot weather has truly arrived, my almost kindergartner has been begging for new summer clothes. I kind of felt like she had enough, but she really needed more comfy everyday clothes. The kind you just pull out of the dryer and can easily wear. I find these tend to be knits as …
No kidding, I have been working on this one since last fall. The Aster Cardigan is seriously such a cute cardigan pattern for little girls, and I love the collar. It's perfect for fall and spring seasons, and I'm only now finishing the one meant for last fall. Better late than never! This is the …
Right now my little one is all about the ruffles, twirling, and anything frilly. I'm not really that kind of girl, but, as a doting mother that gives her girls everything and anything they want (I make them think so at least), I jumped on the opportunity to test the most twirly dress ever! The …

I'm back to the Geranium Dress. It's just such a great pattern, and it fits my girl so well. I really love the simplicity and the sweet shape of the bodice and skirt. My goodness, don't look at those boots!!! She loves puddles...oh, and that's not a rat, that's my dog...he loves puddles too apparently. …

Seriously, this will make someone very happy! You know how we carry our babies in carriers? And you know how our little ones want to emulate us, right? Well, why not make a baby doll and bear carrier for them?! My older girl loves (clearly not posing for pictures!) taking care of her dolls and …
I enjoyed testing the Miss Ruby Tuesday dress by 1 Puddle Lane so much, I just had to test the Little Miss Ruby Tuesday too! Now we can all be all matchy matchy! I made these in October, but I finally get to share them 🙂 This pattern is a knit dress/top with many options, …
