A blessing dress for baby girl
It is funny. Usually, by this time in a pregnancy, I’ve made blankets, burp rags, blessing outfit, several other outfits, a take home outfit, bedding, crocheted items, room decor… the list could go on and on.

I haven’t sewn a thing for probably a month. It’s Kid’s Clothes Week and I really wanted to sew something at least once during this week. I pulled out the ol’ machine to hem some jeans and decided to keep it out to do a little baby sewing. Luckily, I got my homework (that is due…

Special Announcement
I know it’s been a little silent around here lately. I have been working on projects, I just haven’t documented them… like, at all! I will try to scrounge up some pictures of things I’ve done recently. The projects from here on out (for a few months, anyway) will be frilly and sweet in nature. …
