Thanks everyone for your votes. It was a fun outfit to make....and it made me find an awesome discovery. You can turn a dress pattern around and make a coat out of it! Ok...here is the thing for the dress. You already have the tutorial! I made this dress from "The School Girl Jumper" that we made a couple of weeks ago. I did add some modifications which I will tell you about. Dress Modifications: 1. Make the bodice neckline higher. I did do the darts and fitted it several times ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursdays—Pattern Box Tutorial
A few weeks ago I was able to guest post HERE at Someday Crafts: On that day I shared a tutorial that helped me organize a little problem of mine but it's actually a perfect project for me to share on thrifted Thursdays.

Wrap Skirt made from a Circle Skirt
In case you missed this post a couple of weeks ago on The Crafting Chicks. One thing you will notice about me on this blog is that I love to make skirts.

Mustache Monday
Remember these? Well, Stacy (my sister-in-law baker extraordinaire) got some new molds and stopped by Friday afternoon with some new stashes for my crew to try out. Obviously they were a hit. (I spent 99% of my picture taking time asking Gracie to quit licking hers for just a minute and asking Simon to look at me instead of trying to look like a "bad guy" and scaring Grace.) They were just so tempting... And fun... And delightfully messy... That they couldn't help but be ... View the Post
