Remember these fabrics? It was so much fun to take what would normally be considered a “boy” fabric and make it girly. Here’s the whole set: The top is a modified version of the Itty Bitty Baby Dress from Made by Rae. I increased the size to 3T, shortened it to make it tunic length…

Skirts for Sewing Seeds and a Little Fabric Shopping
I managed to sneak out for a little alone time this morning to a little local quilt shop. It was so quiet, and it had such a lovely selection of fabrics. I wanted to spend all day. I came home with this really sweet Moda Dinosaur print. I’m doing a Toddler Clothing Swap with an…
A Last Minute Kilting Project
Yep, I said, “kilting”, and not “quilting”. I love to sew, and I love a challenge, so when I received an email last Tuesday asking if I could find time to sew up a kilt before the weekend retreat, I jumped right on it. Rather than actually using the pattern that I was given, I…

Mini Zippered Bag Tutorial
I started working on this little bag because we have quite a bit of travel planned for this summer, and I’ve found that when we travel I use way too many disposable zipper bags for miscellaneous things, like markers, toys, legos, snacks, etc. This little reusable bag will be perfect to fill with those little…

Made by Rae Backpacks
I really wanted to make new backpacks for my three youngest (since I’m not afraid of zippers anymore). I thought I’d try out the really cute pattern that Rae of Made By Rae has available on her Etsy store: Toddler Backpack. I love the way that she uses piping in her patterns. It always makes…
Spring Top Week – Day 5 (and the last day of the challenge)
The last of my Spring Top Week projects–I finished this one a little late to enter it into the actual challenge, and now I wish I’d done it earlier . I was so afraid of that silly zipper (this was my first zipper), and it ended up being so easy! I feel a little ridiculous…
Spring Top Week Day 4
Thursday’s top is a tunic style made from New Look #6179. It’s sewn from a cotton woven fabric making it different from the knit tops that I normally wear, but I like it! I went by the measurements on the back of the pattern rather than the RTW size that I normally wear. I would normally purchase a…
