8 is Great Party…
My girlie recently turned eight and while I don't usually do big parties (yes, I am lame and I totally admit it) I did do a family luncheon for her baptism day for family and some friends.The first thing you all need to know is that when we just invite family over....it's still a big group (think 7 siblings that live close plus spouses and kids)....so I think we planned for close to 50 people.And since it was August and over 100 degrees outside we decided an indoor lunch party was the best idea. ...

So together we decided on a couple of things to add to her back to school wardrobe and ... View the Post

Project Sewn Sew-Along
Are you sewing along with Project Sewn this month? We are doing a sew along of the free pattern, The Coffee Date Dress.I finished mine late yesterday (ok except for the hem---I ran out of navy blue thread---but I promise to finish it up today!)The dress itself is made of navy blue weaver's cloth, which I love because it is so lightweight but looks like linen to me. It was in my stash and I thought it would make the perfect summer dress.I didn't line it but used blue bias tape to finish the ... View the Post
