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
Squid Squid Whale or…If Nautical Nonsense Be Something You Wish
Alright. Here's the deal. Susan from Living With Punks invited us to join in her Home Sewn Series where a lovely bunch of bloggers are getting together to sew items for their homes. See the terrific list below? It's a fun group...and will be an excellent series! The only problem is... ...that Susan invited us awhile back...and in between the invitation and today a lot of things happened...including me moving and reorganizing our home library. (No...it's not enough for me to hoard ... View the Post
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
It Wasn’t What I Planned to Post…
I had another post planned for today...but decided that it could wait. (And maybe some of you have already seen it anyways...I accidentally posted it one day last week during the middle of the day for like an hour. Brilliant.) Anyway...I just wanted to say thank you. That's all. Just thank you. Thank you for stopping by. For reading our posts. For leaving comments. For sending emails. For everything. I was planning out my posts for the next few months and I realized how much I really ... View the Post
Holiday Looks for My Girls for Less than $10
Hello! Today we are over at Sewing in No Mans Land taking part in Kelly's 12 Skirts of Christmas Series... ...where we are sharing a tutorial for some skirts that I made my girls to wear on Christmas Day. I'm pretty excited about them...and weirdly enough I bought everything to put their entire outfits together at Wal-Mart. The shirts are Garanimals (I actually love Garanimals shirts for the girls...they wash and wear wonderfully) and each of them cost $4.88. And then the fabric for the ... View the Post
