Tis the season for yard sales...HOORAY!!! (Now I have one more resource to pull vintage goodness from.) So in the spirit of the garage sale season we will be bringing to our blog a little something that we are going to call "Thrifted Thursdays". Thifted Thursdays will start today and end in the fall (along with all the marvelous yard sales). So from now until then each and every Thursday will be filled with projects made from items purchased at yard sales or thrift stores! I'm so ... View the Post
The LAST Vintage Crafter’s Challenge.
A maxi dress. And a faux shirring tutorial.I have one more to add to the mix of our FABULOUS guest posters. Weren't they amazing? I am so inspired by all of them.So, I have a confession. I actually made two projects for The Vintage Challenge. I made the dolls quilts and then the next day started second-guessing myself. I always second-guess myself. The quilts were not cute enough, not creative enough, not perfect enough. You know, the whole nine yards. So, I started all over. And then ... View the Post

So, I spray-painted the doll beds white and then when I came across a dresser scarf with two embroidered ends I knew that I wanted to ... View the Post
Pattern Remix. A pleated collar tutorial. (And you can make it for under $5)
Did you see us over at Me Sew Crazy yesterday and the "School Girl Dress?" Today is the tutorial for the pleated collar from that dress. One thing I love is classic styles...and this pleated collar is one of those classic styles that you can add to any dress to make it lovely. Here's how you do it.
