Sewing and Such
I've been taking a little break from sewing and wanted to pop in and tell you I'm picking up my knitting. It's nice to snuggle up with my girls on the sofa and knit. Plus, I have an enormous yarn stash to knit through with lots of very luscious and amazing yarns! I did a …
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 …

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 …
Recently my little one has been exploding with preferences that are just her own and not influenced by her sister. One of these is her sudden love of Tinkerbell and all things fairies. Being the overzealous mom that I am, I knew I had to make her something with Tinkerbell immediately! There are many super …

We finally went to Disneyland with our girls! Of course the moment we decided to go I knew I'd be making some cute little outfits for them, I just had to narrow it down and keep it realistic. I made several tops and dresses for them though, so I'll share each set in separate posts. …
