Changing pad
I needed a simple changing pad that would easily fit in my bag so I made one (pencil for scale), using this awesome red/white print (Pop Posies by Nancy Mims for Robert Kaufman, coming soon). I love this print. It looked like plus signs to me until I used it, and now it looks like […]
new workspace….
I have a LOT of fabric. and right now, most of it looks like this: it started in organized bins and tubs… Quilting Cottons, Knits, Home Dec, etc…. but as my stash expanded, the bins started overflowing… so now we’re working on something like this: I’m slowly folding all my fabric onto comic book boards […]
Lego mini-fig bag

Double -ended zippered bag
D needed a pencil bag, and was told to put pencils, erasers, and markers in them. I had this idea to make a bag that’s double ended, but searching on the internet for “double-ended bag” or pouch or anything double-ended only produces boxing results…. I’m not sure if I just don’t know the right search […]
Baby pants, etc

He’s way too small for the basket, but it’s so cute, we use it in the front yard when his big sibs want to ride bikes out there… he’s so teeny and smooshy! he’s had his first photoshoot (for the sleep sack pattern I still haven’t actually […]

Just looking at it gets me inspired… I’ve decided my favorite color is Lagoon. And my bedroom is the exact color of Pacific. I cut up a bunch o strips of the aforementioned colors, and […]
baby sewing…
Another version of my next pattern, (woven cotton sleep sack with swaddle wings)… this time in Kona Modern Quilts (merlot colorway), and the inside is Kona Cerise: I was able to try it on a 5 week old yesterday to test sizing, placement, and it was SO perfect. LOVE it. (This version is going to […]
Crockett has dropped….
…so, I’m starting to panic about getting things done. The kiddos wanted to know why I didn’t make a blanket for Crockett’s basket, and I tried to explain a sleep sack to them. THey didn’t get it. So tonight I made one to show them how he’d sleep. I saw that the new Halo ones […]
