Aside from sewing projects, some of my favorite gifts to give are fast and easy homemade recipes. Some of my favorites include cinnamon rolls (I need to share that recipe someday--it's a good never-fail one), homemades jams and my all-time favorite thing in the world--anything lemon. So, homemade lemon curd is always a great gift in my book for those that I know that love lemon too. ... View the Post

The Playhouse Teepee Pattern
For years (literally) Elizabeth and I have talked about putting out our own line of patterns. And I have no idea how many hundreds of hours we have spent drafting the patterns for this dream line. Countless dresses, skirts. sleeves, and collars have been drafted....and are lined up ready to go so it's kind of funny that our first ever pattern to be released is a teepee pattern!!!!

Sewing Snippets
Have your kiddos started school yet? It's been a whirlwind around here...new schools, new schedules and I am feeling a bit frazzled. I know I will get it under control but it's going to take awhile. So, sewing was kind of taking a back seat last week's craziness. But, the good news is....that kindergarten starts up this week and I am hoping to catch a few minutes of sewing time throughout the week. I have been missing it! The only project I have gotten done in the last little while is ... View the Post
