I started sewing this dress for Juniper TWO YEARS AGO when we first moved to Missouri. I accidentally made it way too big so I never finished it! And by “finish it”, I really mean, sew the button on. (I LOVE that big blue button! It matches the polka dots perfectly. See Cindy, I DO…
I officially have the coolest kids ever! I have been meaning to sew Juniper a Zelda dress for MONTHS (ever since Flynn’s birthday) and I’m so glad I finally got to it! Halloween makes a GREAT excuse to sew dress up clothes. Now Link and Zelda can both ‘feet Gannon’ in style. (I love how…
I made these pants for Juniper the other night. I almost didn’t even post them today because, well, they suck. But the story that goes with them is pretty entertaining, so here they are! The first time Juniper tried them on, she told me they were too tight. So I loosened them. “Still too tight.”…
It is cold outside!! Trying to get Juniper and Flynn dressed to play outside has been a little annoying lately, because I can never find their warm clothes. Oma bought them some long pants and shirts last week so it’s been a little easier, but they still need a few basics. So I’m using Kid’s…
Is anyone surprised at the kids Halloween costumes this year?? Obviously, Flynn needs to be Link. He still wears his costume ALL the time, and runs around the house singing the Zelda theme song while whacking stuff with his sword. Juniper often grabs random dress up clothes and says she’s ‘practice Princess Zelda’ so she…
I’ve been meaning to share these for a few weeks now. This was one of those last-minute projects that I was SUPER excited about, rushed to get done, and then didn’t end up being so happy with. I messed up the sizing on a couple of my pattern pieces, so they didn’t come together quite…
I had this grand scheme for our road trip, I was going to make some fun little gifts for the kids and spread them out over the course of the trip. My head was full of ideas. As is always the case though, the day snuck up on me and I only found time to…
A few weeks ago I signed up for a Handmade Gift Exchange hosted by Craftaholics Anonymous. I was paired up with a woman named Dolly, and I had fun sewing up this cute bag for her! The inside pockets scared me for some silly reason, so I made a coordinating zipper pouch instead. I’ve never…
The third mini giveaway surprise was the hardest to decide on, since I don’t actually know Desiree! From our email exchange she seemed a lot like me, so I decided to make something I knew I would like (seems logical to me), and that I’ve been wanting to make for a while now. Alida posted…
Way back in January I bought the book “Wee Wonderfuls” by Hillary Lang, along with some other craft books, and my very first project was Evelyn Inchworm. Seriously, like five minutes after finishing her I thought “How cute would it be to make a Lia bookworm!” So when Lia’s name came up in the giveaway…
