Today is the start of another round of Kids Clothes Week and I couldn’t be more excited to sew some things for the littles this week. Both kiddos are in desperate need of basic pieces. Sophie is getting much taller so all of her pants and tops are getting short and while a midriff baring …
Sewing for Me – Pocketful of Posies Dress
Man, I am on a roll! I have sewn more for myself this week that I usually do in a month. It is nice to focus on my own wardrobe every now and then. Especially with Kids Clothes Week coming next week when I will be solely focused on my littles. Melissa of Melly Sews …
Sewing for Me – Day Tripper Top
The ladies over at Pattern Anthology never seem to disappoint. When they all started hinting on Instagram what the upcoming collection was going to be, I started to get excited because the patterns looked like women’s patterns. The Just Add Jean collection was announced the beginning of March and I snatched it up within minutes …
Sewing Buddies – Challenge 2
This month our challenge was a bag swap with our sewing buddy, and just like last month I finished it just under the wire. If you remember from my write up of Challenge 1 last month I have the coolest sewing buddy of them all, guaranteed. I was able to actually meet up with my …
Spring is Here – Evelyn Dress and Tunic

When it comes to picking the right fabric for a pattern sometimes the process is easy and other times you begin to question whether your vision is going to work in reality. My recent test of the Schoolboy Vest by Sew Much Ado in Sophie’s size was exactly one of those times where I started to …
Busy Pocket Coloring Set
With children of any age, keeping them busy when there is any waiting involved can be a struggle at the best of times. Between doctors visits, ballet and preschool pickup my kiddos do a lot of waiting, so having something as a great fallback in my purse is what inspired me to make this Busy …
Last Minute Party Dress
As we become more and more a part of our local community and preschool the number of birthday parties the kids get invited to increases. I love going to parties and especially making something special for the birthday girl/boy. My most recent go to birthday present for kids my daughter’s age is my Colouring Book …
Sewing Buddies – Challenge 1
When I saw Deborah of Whip-stitch.com post about hosting another year of the Sewing Buddy Project I signed up immediately. How much fun would it be to get a sewing pen pal who I complete sewing challenges with and build a friendship? I not so patiently waited in January for the buddies to be announced …
