But not as in sushi cupcakes…that would be gross, and weird, and even weirder to applique… I was using this bib on Miss Kitty the other day (by the way, that’s my new nickname for Sophie, not only does she knead me with her hands like a kitten but she meows constantly. Like REALLY meows. […]

Weekend Sewing: Sweatshirt Jumper
I ordered some soft and fuzzy sweatshirt fabric from Sew Baby a few weeks ago and the cold front that came through this weekend was just the motivation I needed to put it to good use. This really is a super easy sewing project, here’s how I did it: First start with a piece of […]
End of Summer Terry Tunic & Bloomers
(Her new trick, and now that I’ve started laughing she does it constantly) I’ve had this lightweight terry in my stash for awhile & couldn’t stand the thought of this summer ending without putting it to good use. This play set is soft, comfy, & consist of a smocked terry tunic with ruffled straps & […]
Duct Tape Dress Form Tutorial
(the above pic of the backview of my dressform is for all of you who ask me how I get done so many crafts with a baby…I allow my house to become a baby enduced war-zone…it’s all about priorities people. ha!) This weekend I tried making a knock-off top from Jcrew and after hours of […]
3 step tank dress
Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I decided not to let Thursday’s blip of a sewing project keep me down (see pics here if you missed it) and came up with this little cutie. You know all of those cute dresses in Anthropologie lately that look like high waisted skirts with tanks? Well this […]
Tuxedo Tank
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this came out! It reminds me of all the ruffled tops I’ve been lusting after at Jcrew this season…but a heck of a lot cheaper. Free in fact, woohoo! On another note please keep Samster in your prayers, I’m taking her to get an ultrasound tomorrow morning to make […]
Refashioned Mommy to Baby Drawstring Pants
There are some inevitable truths in my life which I’ve come to accept. One of which being that my hips will NEVER be the same width as they were before having a kid. I finally decided to part with some of my old favorite pants but instead of saying goodbye forever, I repurposed them into […]
Mother Daughter Matching Dresses, Yes, I’m Serious.
Normally I would be terrified to consider wearing matching mother daughter dresses. The whole Lilly Pulitzer matchy outfits just aren’t my thing. No offense.BUT I am very excited to make the smocked little girl dress below that was on Martha this past week, SO cute and I just love Heather Ross’ whimsical sea life prints.Also […]
Cupcakes, cupcakes, everywhere!
I swear I’m going to start dreaming about cupcakes soon… We have officially entered birthday countdown mode in my house. Only 3 weeks until Samster’s 1st birthday & everything I see reminds me of a cupcake task I need to complete. Goodie bags need to be appliqued, dress finished, photo sign made, hotel room blocked […]
Baby Bloom Headband (Mini Version)
She wasn’t quite in the model mood today. She said her inner Tyra just wasn’t feeling the shoot. So instead of painting the nursery I decided to make Sam a more muted version of the Big Bloom Baby Headband. Although I’m all about the wow of the larger predesessor a few people thought their babes […]
your favorite T = baby girl rockstar dress
I have a weakness for super soft, retro style tshirts. Unfortunately 8 mths postpartum and half of them still are a bit too snug around the pooch for my taste. Instead of letting them sadly sit in my overstuffed shirt drawer I found a super easy way to reuse/recycle & make them into rockin’ dresses […]
