Sewing and Such
It's been busy around here, but I wanted to share this simple appliqué tutorial I put together for Tie Dye Diva using her Jon and Janie Romper and Bubble pattern. I love this bubble romper, and this fabric is absolutely adorable! Hop on over to her blog for more pics and details! Haha! That face! I'll …
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've decided to start a "Make a Gift" series. This is timely for the holidays, especially since I need to get started early if I'm going to get them all done, but I also want to keep track of these projects since I give them away and forget I've ever made them. Kicking off this …

I learned how to knit when I was pregnant with my first daughter. My mom taught me the long tail cast on method and knit stitch, a friend taught me the cable cast on method, and I taught myself the rest of the basics using the book Simply Baby by Debbie Bliss. It's close to …
Most of my projects begin with "Oh I can sew that", and everyone around me rolling their eyes. I pretty much say this about most things that can possibly be sewn, including baby shoes. I had purchased some Tommy Tickle baby shoes for my first daughter, and I loved them. They were perfect because little …
Over the past few months I've attempted to make some tops for my baby. Things got in the way though (like moving, sheesh!), and I've finally gotten back to finishing these tops. Soooo, I'm sharing all of them here today because it's Fall, and unfortunately these tops are all summer tops, so we're running out …
Last year while on maternity leave and holding my daughter for hours upon end while she was sleeping, I perused pinterest and what seemed like every crafting blog. I stumbled upon Julie's Blog and her post about a vintage baby jumper. She has some super cute projects! Anyway, I fell in love with that baby …
