Oh my. What can you say about a project like this??? And how did my daughter (who usually looks more like this) end up looking like a bank robbing Easter bunny? Here's what happened. Yesterday Grace informed me that she wants to wear a bunny suit on Easter instead of her Easter Dress. So at the end of a long afternoon of me working on my taxes I sat down with her to make said bunny suit. We started (and ended) with the hat. I pulled out an old grey stocking cap, a broken bunny ear ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursday…With Blue Satin Sashes
Yesterday Liz shared her darling Easter Dress (I am in serious love), and I am sharing Hannie's today (which is kind of old news around these parts---I went with simple).Her dress is made from a cotton-linen blend of fabric that was thrifted (a whole roll of 10 yards of lovely fabric for $5----I am thinking it was originally meant for drapery lining). The dress is made from The Vintage Holiday Dress Tutorial. I forgot to put her crinoline under it for the picture---so you'll have to picture it ... View the Post
Gracie’s Chocolate Chicken Easter Dress
So this is Gracie's Easter dress. In my mind it seemed like a normal choice for Easter....the baby chick yellow with the white and the chocolate bunny brown...but seeing everyone else's pink and pastel dresses I understand that I'm crazy...again. Oh well. I like it. Sure it's a little vintage cigarette girlish but I like it. Plus it was kind of an exciting project for me to work on. It is the first outfit I've completed where I drafted the pattern only from measurements---no tracing a ... View the Post
Ruffled Peplum Skirt. A Tutorial.
I have been dreaming about this skirt for a couple of months now. It is part of my thought process of "what to make for tweens" and better yet, it is also one of those incredibly easy skirts that I adore to make. I made a mock-up prototype skirt about a month ago, but didn't like how short the peplum ruffle part was, so I remade it this week with a longer ruffle and it is exactly what I had envisioned. I am giving you the measurements I used for a girls waist size 5/6 although the ... View the Post
Slashed 80’s Vest
Just when you thought I had finally exhausted my list of crazy projects to make from Dollar Store T-shirts (You know like the Hostess Cupcake Skirts...Cardigan Vests...Maternity Skirts...Love Skirts...and the list goes on ) I make another one...and it may be the craziest one yet. Here's the story---I was going through Grace's drawers and reorganizing her clothes when I came across THIS VEST that I made for her. She hadn't worn it in awhile and I wondered what I could do to make it new ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Ambition Meet Priority
Last week I said that I would be continuing to work of Facet No. 2 (From the Art of Homemaking)Ambition.So I have been. At the beginning of the week I sat down and made a list of 33 things that I wanted to accomplish this week (besides the usual housekeeping, child rearing, sewing, self-preservation, and other various weekly obligatory items).I worked hard. I accomplished a lot. I WAS AMBITIOUS!But I didn't get to cross off everything on my list.Dang.No matter how hard I tried not everything ... View the Post
