Things are about to get crazy around here. Ok maybe not girls-gone-wild crazy but tutorial-fun-and-projects-we've-been-dying-to-post kind of crazy. So I decided that if I want to share Gracie's swimsuit cover up (which has already been worn far more often than it should have been by June 3rd) then I better post it today before all the madness begins. I originally posted it over on the Terra's blog (one of the nicest people I've ever "met") but today I am reposting here to start off the ... View the Post

Anyway...this post isn't about our sibling shirt rivalry it's about how to add fringe to the hem of a shirt so let's get to it. The first thing you do is ... View the Post
