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. Maybe because it’s my fourth baby, maybe because I’m in school and have no time, maybe it’s because we’re…

Pattern Testing: Winnie Shrug
Remember back when I did some pattern testing for Wee Muses Pattern shop? Well, I did some more testing on a new pattern that’s now available: the Winnie Shrug. It is a quick and fairly easy sew. The only real tricky part is setting the sleeves. Don’t look too closely at mine because I got…

A new dress
I did some sewing for myself this week. I am getting too big for my normal skirts and dresses… and all of my maternity clothes are in Idaho (we’re picking them up next week). A while back I found some really fun silky fabric at Walmart, of all places, on the clearance table. It was…

Summery Baby Romper
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…

Long overdue t shirt polo tutorial
Back… oh, I don’t know when… I made a t shirt polo, posted some pattern pieces, and just kind of said, “Go for it!” I have made more and intended on taking process photos to make a tutorial, but didn’t get to it until this week. So, I present to you the long awaited t…

Plaid romper- too girly?
I made this little romper the other day, thinking that I’d give it to a friend who is having a baby boy. Throughout the process, I wondered if it’s a little too feminine looking. I sewed up a size Medium, which is about a 12 month, though it fits Jude pretty well- at 19 months. …

To Peplum or not to Peplum…
I’ve seen a lot of peplum tops and dresses around. There are even skirts, shorts, jackets. I don’t know what I think about the trend. I was born in the 80s and I know that these peplum things came straight out of that era. Some fashions just shouldn’t be given a new life… like hammer…

Watercolor dress
I made a simple, but cute little baby dress to give to a friend who just had a baby girl. I just made a simple A-line pattern with a little extra fabric in the bodice to pleat the front and gather the back. The fabric is from my mom’s stash and I love the subtlety. …

My new dress
I happen upon a lot of fun sewing competitions in blog-land. I also watch a lot of Project Runway (probably my favorite show), and I love to see what people come up with using a bit of fabric. I noticed this happening now: a linky party/ competition based on the Coffee Date dress from the…
