Sew your own toddler dress form.
Did you know you could make your own dress form for a fraction of the cost of a store bought one? I never did until I did a quick search on etsy and came across this shop that sells patterns for toddler sized dress forms that you make yourself. How fabulous is that?!

Special attire for the theatre.
This weekend we finally made it to the theatres to see The Lorax and boy were we excited to go! I’m not sure if it was because it was our first trip to the theatres as a family or if it was because we were going to see our most beloved book played out on the big screen. But seriously,… Keep Reading
Confession: I cannot thread my serger.
That’s right, I cannot thread my serger. I bought a Husqvarna Huskylock s21 a few months ago and have attempted to thread it about 200X and I still cannot get it right. Luckily with the pricey purchase of this non-threadable serger came a free introductory class. I had hoped to learn the basic functions of the serger on my own… Keep Reading

I know because I googled it. It’s funny how we always think we have come up with the newest and greatest idea only… Keep Reading

It was an amazing 70 degrees outside yesterday, so we decided to head to the beach for the afternoon. When we got to the beach we found out that it was still snow covered.We should have realized that since we could still see people skiing on the mountains.But the weather was so nice we didn’t care if the beach was… Keep Reading
Guest Post from The Cards We Drew.
So I’m on the mend and cannot wait to get behind that sewing machine of mine! While recovering from surgery I spent way too many hours watching trashy tv and design shows on Netflix. Really, I’m embarrassed to admit how many I watched, but I did get a ton of inspiration from some of them. I never knew how many… Keep Reading
