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
The Bow-A-Constrictor Tutorial
I've been working on cleaning up and organizing the house...and trying to solve some storage issues. One of those issues is Grace...and all 8 million of her hair bows. We've been keeping them in a bin but she likes to look through them to pick out which one she wants and they usually end up in a pile on the floor.

Bow Pocket Tutorial.
I shared this tutorial a couple of weeks ago over at..... but today I am sharing it with you. There are two things right now that I am loving....bows and polka dots. So I combined my love of both to make a cute pocket on a back-to-school skirt for my brand new 2nd grader. The main fabric on the skirt is from Riley Blake's solids collection, Pepper and the bow pocket is Red dot from the Seaside Line. I am in LOVE with their stripes and polka dots.....they literally have dots in ... View the Post
