Taking life one cup at a time…
I’m really excited to share a new Bow Back Beauty Dress from Little Kiwi’s Closet I created for Little Miss. As you remember, I pattern tested for the onesie peplum version of the dress. I created a stripes version and a floral version upcycling from shirts I’d found at the Salvation Army. I loved this …
So around here, I spend a lot of time making things for myself and the toddler. I have a few great men’s patterns to bust out – and I even got some nice fabric to make my husband some shirts. I’ve got a robe “in progress” for the teenager – but I haven’t finished it. …
So the last post I wrote got a LOT of traffic and attention, and some great comments, and I want to talk about all of that – and I will – in a separate post. Thank you all so much for all of your support and for reading! I feel bad about taking some time …
Today’s post was going to be titled “Versatile Skirt/Dress Made from Sew Cheeky Fabric’s Retro Doodle knit” or something to that effect. I sewed up this great dress that can also be worn as a knee-length skirt or midi-length skirt depending on my mood. I did it without using a pattern – go me! And wahoo …
Recently, I had the opportunity to test out Little Kiwi’s Closet Bow Back Beauty. I was assigned to make 2 bodysuit options in the 6-12 month size. I chose a smaller size, because Little Miss is tiny! She’s such a peanut. I figured, based upon the measurements that it would fit better than the twelve month …
Recently, I had the opportunity to test for Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop. I’ve wanted to do a swimsuit for a while, and I have a collection of swim fabrics built up, but I was nervous since swim fabric can be a challenge. When I was offered the chance to test a swimsuit, I jumped at it. …
Oh boy have I been wanting to share this with you. I recently was able to taste-test two of Volcanica Coffee’s blends. If you haven’t tried this company, you should. They are quite good. I was provided with a credit toward one pound of coffee and shipping; I decided I would try two of their flavors …
This is one of many tasting notes I’ve been wanting to share with you for a while. Unfortunately, I put my tasting notes in one of those “safe” places and uh, just located them a couple of days ago. Following teething shenanigans from Baby Girl and a lot of great client work, I’m now able …
As promised, here are the pictures of the Bella Sunshine Design Bow Tie Leggings with their bows. This is probably the least you’ll ever see me write in a post. The link to purchase the pattern will be at the end, that way you don’t have to scroll back up to find it. For now, …
Brace yourself for too much cute. Seriously. I pattern tested for new designer Bella Sunshine Desings recently. She has these great ideas, by the time I finished sewing 7 (yes 7) pairs of leggings, I had them down to a science. The bow tie leggings are easy to sew, and they are a really nice …
