Today I am sharing three skirts...all of which were started OVER A YEAR AGO...and just recently were finished! I've enjoyed embroidering on clothing forever (like on these baby undershirts and this dress) but a long while back I started thinking about how fun it would be to embroider on polka dot fabric and use the dots as a template or map for where the embroidering should go. So back when the idea was fresh in my mind I cut out these skirts and got to work...and I finished embroidering them ... View the Post
Polka Dots & Pinafore
I don't share Ruth very often... I don't really know why...but I'm selfish with her. Maybe because getting her here was harder...and our recovery was a long time in the making...and because the two of us went through it together I feel extra protective of her... I don't know, but what ever the reason she only appears on the blog about as often as I do. However, I should share her more often...to me, that girl is a living doll...a chubby, fiery, feisty doll...and I am loving making things ... View the Post
V is for…..Violet and Vintage.
Today we get to participate in No Big Dill's Sew all 26 letters series, and it has been so fun to see what everyone has been making. She has a couple of guest posters a week and then she is sewing all 26 letters of the alphabet. Did you see her P is for Paper Dress?.....wowza. It is gorgeous and really is made out of real paper.

What’s Black and White and Sewn Together???
Grace's new "dress shirt" of course! It's actually made from strips of the most delicious velvet ribbon from The Ribbon Retreat and some of Riley Blake's neon pink cotton. For awhile now Grace has wanted a "dress shirt" (a shirt that looks like a dress and is fancy but that she can wear pants and no slip with) so I finally made her one. And it was a hit. For the complete tutorial head on over to The Ribbon Retreat where we have posted the how-to. But before you go... Awhile ago ... View the Post
Handmade Christmas: Easy Gift Necklace Tutorial
Last year for our neighborhood craft morning, I did these easy gift necklaces. The supplies cost well under $5 dollars (way more if you buy in bulk) and would make a great gift for any girl, teen or friend this holiday season. If you are searching etsy for supplies you are going to search under "necklace blanks" and the supplies will pop up. These are the 1 inch squares in silver. You can order the necklace and the glass piece as well as the necklace chain from lots of places. And the paper ... View the Post
A Peasant Dress Tutorial
Today we are over at The Crafting Chicks sharing in their Christmas Traditions series... and can we tell you how fun those girls are? We were with them at Fabric Fest in Vegas and those girls know how to party! They were up until the weeee hours of the morning galavanting off to chocolate buffets and having a fabulous time all over Vegas. They invited us, but because both liZ and I are both like 90 year olds....we were so tired we couldn't keep our eyes open long enough to eat ... View the Post
