Sewing and Such
In continuing with my spring and summer sewing, I have a lovely new dress pattern to share with you all today. Actually, a few new dress patterns! I'm so excited about these patterns too because they're so fun to sew and select fabric for. The Lemon Drop Tunic and Dress* from Tie Dye Diva was …
Today I’m at Cali Fabrics (aka Fabric Outlet I’m always raving about in San Francisco) reviewing some fun knits! Take a look…

Today I'm over at Tie Dye Diva with a super easy pattern mash-up tutorial! What's even better is the patterns that I'm using are both on sale* until March 3rd, so if you've been on the fence about these, now's the time (I'm a total enabler!). The Opal Knit Flutter Tunic and Dress* had been …

My girl and I …
Today I'm over at Tie Dye Diva sharing a fun New York Minute* peplum hack. I finally made one for big sissy (can you see how happy this made her?!) after little sissy already had two of them, plus a third on the way! This is such a quick sew too as I've taken all …
Isn't she such a sweetheart?! My cheeky little model. This is our first post for Tie Dye Diva* on Fabric.com's blog, How to Sew an Underlining, so hop on over and take a look. Let me know what you think?! Fabric.com provided Tie Dye Diva with the fabric in exchange for a tutorial, so I …
We haven't been getting snow, but it has been raining A LOT for where we live. We back up to a creek that sounds more like a river, and every time the sun comes out, the girls and I run outside to play before the next rains come! Since we're stuck inside so much we're …
I've been looking for warm, versatile dress patterns for my girls. My older daughter has this lovely fleece dress from Old Navy, and since she's close to outgrowing it, I've been on the hunt for a similar dress pattern. I was so excited to then be given the opportunity to test the New York Minute …
