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 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 […]
Tooth Monster Pillow
D’s had 2 loose tooth for over a month, and one finally came out today. In preparation for our first tooth fairy visit, d and I made this very simple pillow… The mouth is a pocket to hold a tooth (currently in a little sandwich bag), or an iPod (so it doesn’t get lost in […]
Leotards
The Bean just started taking gymnastics (because she couldn’t possibly sit on the bench for an hour while her big brother takes gymnastics), but it’s mandatory that she wear a leotard, and after scouring the internet for over an hour, I was unable to find any unitards (biketards?) small enough to fit her… (maybe it’s […]
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.
Penny the penguin (and Peter Pan)
Peter is up first… I read about this Eraser Clay on Remarkably Domestic, and my kiddos love those weird little erasers, so I thought this clay would be fun for them. I made this Peter Pan (with a pink feather, because red isn’t an option) at D’s request. You can see the crayons in […]
Photo shoot!
Lauren (of Sewmodern) asked for some pics of me and my kiddos and pets and sewing stuff (ie a headshot and some “studio” shots). But my “studio” is all over my house. My cutting table is in the enclosed porch I share with the laundry and dogs. My ironing board is behind the sofa. My […]
I’m almost back.
All my Robert Kaufman projects are done, as of this morning at 3am. Now I need to turn this 2″ high stack of fabric leftovers into a million (maybe 50? I lost count while cutting) crayon rolls to give as favors for The Bean’s birthday party favors. Back soon.
Tinkerbell!
ok, I’m uploading pics for the giveaway, I promise, but in the meantime, lookit what the Bean and I made her today: (the dress, not the wings) She wants to be Tinkerbell to go with D’s Peter Pan, but she didn’t have a “tinkerbell dress.” Now, I’m NOT anti-Disney, I LOVE Disney, but I think […]
