Sewing and Such
Since so many mamas are making last minute princess dresses for Halloween, I thought I would share my Frozen "Dress" for inspiration. It's not so much a dress than a fancy top, mostly because we were going to Disneyland when I made this, and I wanted her to be able to run around and get …
I'm totally failing at the capsule wardrobe for my girls. Pretty much everything clashes with each other! My big girl loves to mix and match the weirdest prints too, so things get very interesting when she dresses herself, which is pretty much everyday. Anyway, I've been stash busting (read...lots of clashing prints) and using some of …
I love a simple dress pattern. One that showcases a beautiful fabric. Why then did I use the busiest fabric in the world for this one?

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 …
Here I told myself I wasn't going to join tons of sew alongs this year, and I seem to be jumping into all of them! I really couldn't pass up the Berry Bubble Shorts Sew Along though. These shorts have an adorable vintage appeal to me, and I can't help but picture them with tights …
