Project Run & Play sew along {Week 1: circle skirt remix}
So I have decided to sew along with this seasons Project Run & Play competition. I have been obsessed with this competition from the start and have admired all of the amazing designers that have participated. I have always wanted to compete in the past, but honestly sewing kids clothes was pretty foreign for me. And really I didn’t know… Keep Reading
Easter 2012
I finished the kiddo’s Easter outfits just in time. Yes I was up until midnight sewing a bow tie, but it was worth it! I’m really starting to love sewing clothes for the kiddo’s. I wish I could say that my Easter dress was as cute as the kiddo’s, but it was not. I actually didn’t even wear it. The… Keep Reading
Crafting with the kiddo’s
It has been one of those weeks when everyone in the house is sick. Nothing too major, just bad colds, croup, stridor, and over all crankiness. I begged the kiddo’s to just lay on the couch and watch movies, but they wouldn’t. All they wanted to do was craft. It’s amazing how a bottle of glue and lots of crafting… Keep Reading

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?! The pattern cost $7.95 and is a… Keep Reading
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
Spring already?!
I think it is safe to say that sugaring season is over. Unless it is normal to be checking for sap barefoot and shirtless. Its more like hunting for bugs in the bucket season now. Its been such a weird spring here, 80 degrees for the past few days. Even the bulbs are popping up and so isn’t the rhubarb…. Keep Reading
