I think these calendars are quite possibly the coolest thing that I’ve ever made! I have to thank Rashida from i heart linen for the amazing idea. You can find Rashida’s original calendar here: Prairie Girl, Calendar Girl. When I first saw the calendar, the idea of putting fabric photos in it popped in my…

Messenger Bag Tutorial
It’s a little early for Christmas gifts, but I like to be done before the beginning of December so that I can ship off the gifts that need to go to other parts of the country without having to wait in really long lines at the post office, and it’s so nice to just be able…
Bigger Sizes of the Little One Layette are Coming!
I know, it sounds a little strange to have a layette pattern in toddler sizes, but so many mamas asked for it that I just had to oblige! As a mama of a little one who’s in size 3T, I’m thrilled with it already. The test version went out to my amazing team of testers…
Handmade Christmas Gifts – Preschool Memory Games
I used the Memory Game Tutorial at Kindershop Online to make these Memory Games for almost three-year-old Jamie and Ray’s nephew who is the same age. I know that they’ll get a lot of use!

A PJ Swap and Dyed Tees for Baby
October’s swap on my favorite online sewing board was for PJs. We really need winter PJs around here, and I thought it would be a great way to get me moving on them! My swap partner has a son and a daughter who are six and thirteen, so I sewed for both of them, and…

We visited the annual Pirate Days celebration here in the town where we live yesterday and had a great time. We enjoyed Pancakes with Pirates which was put on by our local church to raise money for the local food pantry. The kids had a blast in the kids’ section which was full of mazes,…
Knitting for Baby with Some Matching Sewing, Too!
I am so excited that I’ve learned to knit! I taught myself with the help of some of the wonderful ladies at DiaperSewingDivas.net and the awesome videos at KnittingHelp.com. I really like knitted wool longies with matching tops for the newborn to 6 months or so stage. All of the longies that I’ve done so…
Cloth Diaper Stash for Baby Caleb
A local friend has been using Jamie’s stash of newborn diapers, but her little guy is quickly outgrowing the newborn diapers. I offered to sew up a stash of small fitteds and medium AI2s for them. We chose gender neutral prints since this is their first baby. This way, they’ll be able to use them…
