So awhile ago I had this idea to make some sort of a skirt for Grace that she could wear for any holiday. I wanted it to be "festive" but not stuck being just for Christmas or Valentine's Day or whatever. (Although, let's face it. I like holiday specific clothing as well...I just posted those angel shirts for crying out loud.) Anyways...thinking one item that can be changed to fit different holidays...this is what I came up with: The Any Occasion Skirt Just a simple skirt with a bow ... View the Post
Color Blocked Bodice Tutorial
A little while ago we were over at icandy handmade sharing a tutorial for Jen and Autie's Basic Bodice Series. And since I really do like the bodice, and because I did make this dress for her to wear during the holidays I'm sharing the post and tutorial back here on our blog today. (And while I'm sharing this on the blog I'm working at home to finish up a holiday skirt that I am so excited about! If I hussle I'll have it completed and ready to go for Thursday. I really hope I get it ... View the Post

Holiday Photobooth Props (Printable Patterns)
Remember when the photo booth prop rage was going on? And everyone was putting mustache's and funny glasses on sticks? Well, in the middle of all that I kept thinking it would be cute to do some seasonal photo props on a stick to play with at family gatherings. When Halloween came around I started some really fun ones but then I never finished them...or photographed them...BUT the other day I had all the kids home with the flu and for fun (and to break up the boredom) we made some ...

Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds Costume Tutorial
If you need a quick last minute costume this is the perfect one to make! I like funny and old vintage Halloween costumes. Last year, this sassy seven-year-old was Audrey Hepburn and this year....well, she hasn't yet decided on what her glorious costume will be. So, I got to take some liberties and made up a costume that I liked. (And we shall see what she actually chooses for the big day ;) I love this costume because it is a total throwback to the costumes of my childhood. ... View the Post
Because you can’t have too many tutus.
Liz and I are busily sewing our brains out to share our fall "look book" collections in a week or so. But, in the meantime, we do have a few projects that have been sitting on the back shelves. I am currently three outfits down and three to go, with bits and pieces in between like blind-stitch hemming (I don't know why but I dislike blind-stitch hemming, so I always leave it until the end, even with the nifty foot-- I am weird.) But I am totally stuck at finding a girls' navy blue skinny belt ... View the Post
