Wanna test my pattern?
so you’ve all seen this dress, right? I mean, I’ve made 7 versions in 3 weeks, so hopefully you’ve seen it. I have the pattern pieces all done, as PDFs, ready to go….sizes 18m-5T (for reference, I’d make the Bean a 2T. She’s 36″ tall and 26 lbs. BUT she has no store bought clothes, […]
Polka Dot BoPeep
So last night, I HAD to put all other projects aside, and play with this AMAZINGLY cute fabric. polka dots win all the cuteness points, right? close-up of big rose clip I made rose clips from the scraps. 1 big, from both fabrics, 1 small, from the mostly-coral-fabric here’s the back wanna see it EVEN […]
this one has pockets.
well, the last dress was NOT a hit. the Bean loved it, and was all excited to wear it, put it on quite happily, posed for pics (as seen a little while ago), and then realized that it had no pockets.instant tantrum. but the print is so busy and pretty that my scraps-large-enough-to-become-pockets clash. pockets! […]
so I’m working on a hat pattern…
Because D needs a new hat, and I am going to make some for his teachers, as end of the year gifts. (just WAIT till you see the fabrics D chose for his preschool teachers. SO PRESCHOOL) D is semi-graciously letting me use his head to test my prototypes.But then, it turned out he wasn’t […]
skirt refashion
just a quick one…someone (1 of 3 friends, can’t remember which one) gave me this skirt, adult size L, but with an elastic waist, so there was LOTS of fabric. (yes, friends give me large old skirts, JUST so I can cut them up. I have awesome friends). here’s the dress! elastic shirring on the […]

Despite the June Gloom we wake to every morning (or perhaps because of it), SUMMER is officially here in Pedro.how do I know?It’s blackberry season! My dad has a whole wall covered in blackberry vines, and since we’re petsitting for him right now, we’re there at least once a day, and can eat our fill.yesterday, […]
HI HI HI!
YAY! we’re back!ok, so, as mentioned previously, I’m trying to improve my knit-sewing abilities… so I ripped up an ugly old knit nightgown of mine, and turned it into this cute Bo Peep top for the Bean: she seems to like it, right? there’s a little puckering on the side seams, but I can’t remember […]
What to do when Picasa and Blogger conspire against you:

Hello?????
I’m having massive problems with Blogger and Picasa today, they won’t let me upload any pictures. This is mostly a test, I want to post a KNIT version of the Bo Peep Dress. I also want to scream at the computer for not cooperating. this is NOT user error. Picasa just won’t connect, and I […]
KNITS!
So I successfully made a shirt from KNIT fabric yesterday! I guessed on the sleeve length, so they’re a little long, but the collar looks nice, right? I also didn’t have 2 spools of green thread, so I couldn’t use a twin needle, to make it look better, but it totally came out good enough […]
