Yay! I made it! I easily completed my daily hour assignment for participating in Kids Clothes Week Challenge. Today I was able to get these pants inspired by the Mini Boden heart patch trousers drafted, cut and almost complete. I still need to insert the elastic and the twill tape into the waistband and hem {…Continue Reading}
I gave a little hint yesterday about what I was planning to work on today. I pulled a couple of pages out of the latest Mini Boden catalog and showed them to Arden. She wholehartedly approved this “fluttery” tee with butterfly appliques all over it. Pardon the grainy and harsh photos – picture taking at 10 pm does not {…Continue Reading}
I’m kind of a big deal in certain circles. Those circles being my friend’s son Victor. He requested a cow costume for Halloween a couple of years ago and has since named me his personal costumer. He wanted to be a tree this year, which seems a relatively easy request – sort of. This is how {…Continue Reading}
Did you guess? Yup, I went with the silver pleather. The black just seemed to contrast-y and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to use silver pleather. I mean when else except Halloween and maybe dress up can you say that? I still used the black felt, but more as a stabilizer in between each {…Continue Reading}
I’m not sure I should be allowed to be this excited about something I made, but I seriously love these little ladybug wings! They took less than an hour to make and turned out soo much better than I had envisioned. I used some of the leftover polka dot fabric from her dress and I had bought {…Continue Reading}
So far, so good! I worked for about two hours and was able to draft, cut, and sew Hadley’s ladybug dress. It went faster than Arden’s because I didn’t have to think about each step to be sure I was doing what I wanted. I know pink with white polka dots isn’t necessarily very ladybug-ish, {…Continue Reading}
Today was the first day of Kids Clothes Week Challenge hosted by Elsie Marley. I’ve participated once before – right when I started this blog and have meant to play along many times in the meantime, but it never seems to work out. So I was pretty happy to start the week off on a productive {…Continue Reading}
A little catch-up with Hadley’s monthly photos – I don’t know why some months these are so hard to get photographed and blogged. Anyways: It’s getting harder and harder to get her to lay still on the quilt to take these. Add to the fact that she’s now longer than the center part of the {…Continue Reading}
Today I’m guest posting over at Pink Cake Plate as part of Laura’s 31 Days of Pink series. I’m sharing my first printable of Audrey Hepburn’s I Believe in Pink quote. Go check it out and browse around her fabulous blog while you’re there!
There’s just something about sewing during early fall that I love so very much. Summer is nice, but when I spend my time wiping sweat from the back of my knees while sewing or trips to the breakfast nook to stand in front of the air conditioner it really takes a hit on my productivity. Late {…Continue Reading}
