This week I got to review the Whimsy Couture Pillowcase Romper Pattern.I downloaded the pattern, printed out the pieces, and in no time flat Grace had a brand new outfit.(This romper is a quick and easy sew that I think has darling results.) Whimsy Couture chooses fun cotton prints for all their patterns but for Gracie's romper I really wanted to use some silky polyester paisley goodness from my vintage stash that has been waiting for just the right project. I think this it was the perfect ... View the Post
$5 Friday: Pom Pom Hairclips
Today's $5 Friday is an easy craft that you can do with girls of any age. Hannie was the yarn-wrapper, and I was the tie-er and gluer. And we had a fun time. On some we did regular old alligator clips. And on some we tied in hair elastics (with a dab of hot glue to keep them in there better). But someone is now convinced that the hair ties look much better as bracelets. And well, I think she might be right! Any fun weekend plans? ~Elizabeth ... View the Post
Vintage Pocket Wrap Skirt.
Today's project was one that I cut out about a month ago...and finally finished today. It is from a 1968 vintage wrap skirt pattern that was a girls size 8. So, I did some math (super hard for me sometimes) and sized it down to a 5/6, and luckily it worked! (I love it when that happens). The main skirt is chambray and the pockets and wrap part (it essentially wraps in the back) are some vintage cotton that I found at an estate sale that I LOVE. I love that the skirt is a wrap-around ... View the Post
Vintagely Modern Skirt for Summer
I have been thinking for a while now that it was time to update The Vintagely Modern Skirt for summer. And because I am obsessed with making them in stripes (I did a black and white one for winter) I chose hot pink and white for summer. HERE is the original tutorial. But, just so you know, I did do two things differently. First, I put in an invisible zipper on the side seam because I wanted it to be more of a fancy skirt. You can see the zipper peeking out by her hand on her hip in the ... View the Post
Easy Swimsuit Cover-Up Tutorial for $5 Friday
Yesterday was the last day of school. Which means that today is the first day of summer vacation! Hooray!!! I'm so excited. I LOVE summer vacation. All of it---the kids, the heat, the snow cones, the sun, and especially all the water.SO back HERE when I made The Endora Top and Elizabeth said that maybe I could change it into a cover-up for this summer I was all about it. I think I actually went that afternoon and bought everything I needed to get started. And then all I did was follow ... View the Post
An Updated Units Style Jumper
I warned you I'd be posting another Units project today... and I really like this one. A lot. Back in the day when I wore "Units" I had a particular favorite. It was a one piece, grey and white striped, sleeveless, boat neck jumper. I LOVED it and wore it all the time with either a white or hot pink waistband. So when I decided to revisit Units in my drafting class I knew I wanted to remake that outfit into a modern one for Gracie. So I started with the jumper idea and made Gracie's outfit ...
