I was working like a madwoman yesterday and wasn’t able to update on my progress, but I’m back today with two completed projects! The first is a romper made from a soft velveteen with the daintiest little floral print that gives it such a sweet feminine touch, which I love. It’s a pretty no-frills little […]
Bias-Trimmed Skirt (KCWC Day2)
I managed to finish up the skirt I started yesterday! I cut some strips from a dainty floral print I’ve been wanting to use and turned them into bias tape for the edges. I’ve been sewing my skirts selvage to selvage and I just don’t think it’s cutting it anymore for me. I need more […]
Two Simple Skirts (KCWC Day 1)
I’m popping in late tonight after a day of sewing and tending to a “sick” child who was most definitely faking it for a day home with Mommy. I was easily able to finish off these two skirts today in a matter of a couple house, including cutting. I think these skirts are tied at […]

DIY Ride-On Toy for Toddlers
Check out Made By Joel for the details on how he made this totally rad ride-on for his kiddos! I love that they can haul a bunch of toys around on the inside as well! If you’re not one for using power tools, just have the folks at the hardware store make the cuts, […]
KCWC at Elsie Marlie
If you sew and have kids you will definitely want to join in on this big sewing party! Meg (Elsie Marley) hosts the Kids Clothes Week Challenge twice each year, Spring and Fall, and it’s basically 7 days of frenzied sewing. It’s always fun to join in with other sewists on the same mission and […]
Peanut-Free Baking and Sweets
I had such a positive response to my Peanut Free Lunches post and it is evident that parents are looking for some creative solutions when it comes to recipes without nuts (and other allergens for that matter). Theresa recently asked specifically for some alternatives to regular old cake on our Facebook page, so I thought […]
