Sewing and Such
I absolutely love the classic look of a circle skirt peplum. It provides just enough sophistication to make any outfit appear more than just thrown together, even for a little one, but realistically, they're one of the easiest things to sew. The new Fern Cardigan by Sew Like My Mom features a perfect little peplum …
This was a really fun sewing project that I was so excited to make for my little one. She really needed a raincoat, and I wanted something adorable and different that I wouldn't need to buy everything for. I've had the Bristol Reversible High Low Jacket pattern from Create Kids Couture for awhile. I used it …
Thread Faction has another grow-with-me pattern! This is probably the fastest thing I've ever sewn, like seriously quicker than anything else...even a cowl (you have to hand stitch that thing closed!). This makes it the perfect last minute gift for babies, and it's not the same old bib and burp cloth they're expecting. It's also …

I only recently discovered Thread Faction's grow-with-me pattern line, which Liz of Thread Faction is expanding. What a really fun idea since babies and kids grow so quickly! Let me just start by saying these patterns are seriously the perfect gift to make young children. You don't even have to worry too much about their …
Lemonade, chlorine, and simple summer dresses, all the things that remind me of summertime as a girl. The Darling Daisy dress by Sew Like My Mom is one of those casual summer dresses that takes me back to when I didn't have a care in the world, where the twirl of my dress was something of …
I'm in the process of clearing off my sewing table...it's covered in patterns and fabric that have been cut out, but not sewn together. The Hummingbird Romper by Rabbit Rabbit Creation is one such pattern, but not anymore! I'm so glad I finished this one too, because it's sooooo cute! I made a size 2 …
Why stop at one pair of shorts... After sewing the Berry Bubble Shorts, I whipped up another pair of Belted shorts for my little one. I used this pattern before when Jilly Atlanta was letting everyone choose a free pattern to try them out and see what they're like. I made this funky pink pair! I …
Remember the reversible Crossover Flounce Dress by DbCA? I can't get my girls out of these dresses! It's pretty funny, my little one calls it her "tutu dress" because it twirls. Ironically she can't really get it to twirl well because she spins sooooo slowly. It's sloth-like really. Well, to make things even sweeter than …
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 …
In continuing with my Disneyland princess top and dress sew-athon...My girls had never really seen any of the Disney princess movies other than Frozen. They just were never interested in them, until I made them sit and watch one at a time!!! That sounds awful huh, what a horrible mom. Actually, after watching the Disneyland promo …
