I am biased, admittedly.
But I’m pretty sure I have the world’s cutest kiddos. after making this dress yesterday afternoon, I rushed to make more for the Bean after bedtime. so here’re my 2 more: fancy stitch used for hem. I always forget to use fancy stitches, but I might as well, right? back view. this one is reversible […]
Kids Clothes Week Challenge!
It started Monday. so Monday night, I made these pants for D (from C’s ripped jeans) (it’s really hard to get a good pic of dark loose jeans on a 4 year old boy.)yesterday, I made this dress, and wanted to cry and quit the whole thing. It just REEKS of homemade. PLUS, to add […]
New Look 6781
Spring Top week! again! Already!
this year has FLOWN by, but it’s week again, over at Made By Rae….this year, all of my entries have a theme: SCRAPS!I made this shirt, for Lauren and for her store, and she was SUPER generous, and let me keep the scraps. (It’s not in the pic, but I used the Anna Maria Horner “shattered suns” […]
New Look tunic
I used scraps again to make New look 6033. the one in the main picture, but shorter (whoops, I think I might have liked it longer, but I don’t like LONG things, and so snipped, and now regret…), and I used contrasting scraps for the whole neckline. reasonably well fitting, easy to make, super cool […]
Union Jill

New Look 6027
I was trying to get my husband to stop taking pictures of the silly children and take a picture of my new shirt before he left on a week-long business trip (to Vegas, to work for Showtime, filming Manny Pacquiao. cause he’s cool like that). Awesome. he caught me scolding him. I’m sorta smiling, even […]
How to fake it with a too-short zipper
Ok, so MY SEWING TIME is after the kidlets go to bed. tonight, it started at 8pm. I can dream all day, and plan out a million things, and maybe even cut stuff out, but I can’t turn on the machines unless everyone is asleep. That means that I need to GET STUFF DONE, quickly, […]
The Perfect Summer Dress
I cut into the DS fabric from Joanns (I only bought a 1/2 yard of this one, and of 2 others), and combined it with some red Swiss Dot scraps to make this: She wasn’t super psyched about being a model, so these are all “action” shots, but hopefully you’ll be able to see how […]
Moth Wing Mug Rug
So…. Back in March, D and I found this awesome moth “resting” on our porch…. I took a bunch of pics of the wings, because they were soooo interesting… love all the “modern” lines pretty moth! I bought some solids to match, with the idea of testing out a mug rug, so here it is: […]
