A couple of weeks ago while shopping I came across a darling little jumper for a little girl at H&M. I almost bought it (it was around $10 or so) but then when taking a second look at it realized it was just an updated version of a pillowcase dress. So, I came home and made one. In 30 minutes. My kind of quick, naptime sewing project.I did take a few pictures along the way to make a quick tutorial.Here's how I did it....I was making a TALL size 6/7 and since I want her to be able to wear it ...

In case you missed this a couple of weeks ago at see kate sew's RUFFLES 2012....One thing that we love over at Simple Simon and Co is taking simple, vintage, classic children's clothing and adding a touch of a modern to them.

Vintage Aprons for $5 Friday
Yesterday I was at my mom's house when she showed me a "new" pattern and the apron she made using it...I totally loved it. So she let me go through her fabric stash and make an apron of my own for Gracie. I picked out a piece of Riley Blake's Bloom and Grow line and got to work (while making my mom listen to me tell her all about one of mine and Elizabeth's recent adventures). I was literally done with the entire project (but not my story) within 30 minutes. It was awesome. Unfortunately, I ... View the Post
Finish what you started week…a recap.
I did finish quite a few things last week. This little dress had been sitting on the dress form....for weeks.All she needed was buttons and a hem (can you tell they are not my favorite steps?) to be completed. She was only about a week late as a birthday present for our little neighbor girl, but she was finally given to her rightful owner. A little 60's sundress made with vintage fabric for the skirt....for me, sewing just does not get any better.Other projects finished--a pair of chambray ... View the Post
