Knit leggings
Beach School Sewing, finale.
a set of pencil bags for all the kids in one family (1 boy, 2 girls, all coordinating so they can’t fight over them!) beachy pot-holders vintage-y potholders and then just a little playing around… I was thinking of making a little bag for my new phone, but it might need to be turned into […]
A speedy apron
we went by Momen+ today (because C wanted to go to the brewing supply store around the block), and the Bean insisted that she needed this animal/airplane fabric. It’s from the same line as the scrap I used to make her bag last week, and she loves all the animals. C is gonna brew again […]
A sweet birthday present…
We’ve got some little girl birthdays coming up, so I decided to use some of my Anne Kelle lollipop and ice cream cone scraps (I think… It’s all a blur from market) with some random other scraps to work on this zippered bag idea again… Last time the zipper was too high, this time it’s […]
twirly girl dress on a twirly girl
The problem with making a twirly girl dress is that the girl wearing it is constantly in motion… it’s remarkably difficult to photograph but I suppose that’s what makes the dress itself a success…
Twirly girl dress
The Bean loooooves her Joel Dewberry Heirloom dress. Like, A LOT. When she wears it, she gets really excited and calls herself a twirly girl. She wants more, and I want to maker her more, but I whipped out the first one in an hour of inspiration in the middle of the night back in […]
The Egg Cup princess
I whipped this little egg cozy up last week as a gift for D’s friend T. She’s British. Egg coz us are British-y, right? Pattern from Debbie Birkin I knitted all the parts the night before the party, and then sewed them up while c drove us to the party… Hence the dashboard background.
EXPLODING with cuteness.
I made another dress last night, because I had to stay busy. and because I need to make THIS dress now. so here’s the latest version, using a Kona (Rich Red?) and this gorgeous organic fabric (Pick a Bunch) : ( I think The Bean likes it) It’s my State Fair Frock, again, but this […]
a little school jumper…
So, obviously yesterday was 9/11, and I totally couldn’t handle it. I hugged D so hard at one point he complained (he normally loves hugs)… It’s a crazy day for me, because we could see the smoke (and we were covered in ash by evening) from across the bay (we, my best friends and I, […]
embroidered doll quilt
So I made these 2 blocks a while back (shh, don’t tell, but the yellow flannel-bush flower isn’t actually done), but I really didn’t like the black background, so I turned them into this little doll quilt. I used… um, a light green kona that was in the backing fabric. and the backing fabric […]
