Dress testing
Last week we were at Disneyland, and TheBean asked for one of the (overly-priced, nasty-polyester) dresses in the BibbityBobbityBoutique. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Disneyland. But… ICK. She’s never seen any of the princess movies (her choice! Darren has, and I’m fine with them)… But the dresses.. I see these kids at D-lamd, tottering […]
Funbot Dress!
I had a little bit of Funbot fabric left over after making all the stuffed robots, so I decided my Bean needed a dress. She LOVES robots. she couldn’t hold still, she was so excited. I used my HennyPenny dress pattern, modified a little bit to have a back opening and a […]
Trading Funbots
It’s Quilt Market prep time around here, hence the radio silence. I was asked to design some stuffed robots based on Ann Kelle’s new Funbots… (click over to see the line, then check out D and my robot: pipe-cleaners for hands means he can hold things! this 6 year old boy is […]
Funbots!
I’m making some robot toys for the Robert Kaufman spring quilt market booth. They’re completely inspired by Ann Kelle’s Funbot fabric. And BOY ARE THEY FUN! This boy gets bonkers everything he gets to help play with them as I make them. They completely bring out his inner silly. (His #amineko, Green, is in for […]

Beautiful Blythe
I found my perfect fabric. It’s called Blythe, by Janet Dunn & Rebecca Bischoff for Robert Kaufman. it’s amazeballs. ROSES. Bright, saturated colors. Scattered polkadots. I am IN LOVE. SO, I jumped on the Quilt-As-You-Go Amy Butler Weekender Bag train, and made this. It’s all Blythe, in two colorways (park and garden). I used some […]
Starts and finishes.
The last snowball star block finally got pieced. Midnight likes my Blythe scraps as much as I do. I’m OBSESSED with this coloring book. I do a few little bits every night. And some bee blocks from March…
Quick ‘n’ Easy
I whipped out a tablet cover/case/pouch-thing sleeve for C to take on a trip. 30 minutes, including quilting! I’m super lazy though, so I didn’t change the white bobbin thread to match the black top thread. I actually think the white flecks are my favorite part. I’ve been hoarding this fabric for years, (originally purchased […]
bags and greens.
Another 2ball knitting bag (this one for my friend Liberty) A fold-over purse, (is it a clutch if it has a handle? Mostly copied from my friend Natalie’s awesome bag) is my new favorite make. A shirt for C. Fabric is a yummy flannel from DryGoodsDesign, pattern is a Vogue pattern. Made it with short […]
Sock-Knitting Travel Bag (I’m sorta brilliant)
I made a bag a few days ago… It’s been in the works for months in my head… I really wanted a knitting bowl, but anything breakable… in my house… won’t last more than a few days… I wanted something fabric, that could go in my bag, but with something to keep the yarn from […]
