liZ can attest that I am always on a mission to perfect my favorite cookie--the sugar cookie. I do have a sour cream sugar cookie recipe that I love, but I was looking for another easy sugar cookie recipe that is fast and you donn't have to roll out and use cookie cutters. ... View the Post
Halloween Costume Collars (for lots of different costumes!)
This last Spring, we did a project for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores for their Fall Lookbook. For it, they gave us four themes and we brainstormed and sewed four projects up that fit those themes, which we love! (We really do still love sewing for themes ;) For the Halloween Chic theme, we decided on some old-school Halloween Costume Collars that could be made with simple collar pattern....so the lion, the clown and the ballerina costumes were born! And we really do love them....they were ... View the Post

Modern Maple Fall Pillow Tutorial
I have been seeing Modern Maple Quilts everywhere (just google it--there are some pretty spectacular ones) but last week I was in the mood for a quick project. So, I dug out my scrap bin, pulled out some colors and decided to make a Modern Maple Fall Pillow. And I even did the math (not my strong-suit) to make it fit right ;) This Maple Fall pillow tutorial fits snuggly in an 18 by 18 inch pillow form (the pillow cover is actually 17.5 by 17.5 but I think it gives a great fit) and they were a ...

Pants with Polka Dots.
Today's sewing for fall are some high-waisted polka-dotted pants. I really do love the look of skinnier pants on girls but when we went back-to-school shopping the "skinny pant" has become a bit too skinny for my taste level...and most of the time when the top of the pants fit, poor Hannie couldn't even get the ankles over her feet...they were wayyyy too tight. So, we decided on some patterns and made her some. First up are the polka-dots and then we did some jeggings in the same style. I ... View the Post
