I thought I’d take advantage of this lull in creative activity to post some older projects I never got around to sharing. This was a fun one! My friend Jason needed some curtains, and not just any old curtains would do, so he bought some vintage Star Wars sheets and had me make them for…
I bought this dress in the clearance section at Ross for $2. How could I pass THAT deal up? It was a bit too small for me, but I just knew it would make an adorable new dress for Juniper. I shortened the skirt about 4 inches, and scaled the top down using one of…
Here is a project I’ve been wanting to share for quite a while, but I had to wait until the package was delivered so as not to ruin the surprise! I wanted to make matching dresses for our cousin Lindsay’s two little girls. So I headed to the Goodwill Clearance Center and picked up this…
The other day I was having one of those non-stop-crazy mama days. You know the type. So when I finally got both kids to fall asleep around 9:00, I decided I needed to ignore the messy house and take some time to sew a little something. I decided to *GASP* follow a pattern! Now, I’m…
I made these little frogs for a couple of sweet kids as Christmas presents this year. Of course, I didn’t actually send them until this past week… I hope they love them though! I only snapped a couple of pictures while we were packing them up. Juniper was sad to see them go. I’m linking…
Craft Hope is probably my favorite thing. It’s so nice to be able to do something meaningful with my creative talents. Right now they have two projects going on. They are collecting bracelets for orphans in Russia and blankets for tornado survivors. We have been having a little too much fun around here making bracelets…
One of my Birthday Goals this year was to learn how to sew hats, and now I can cross that one off! And it only took one failed attempt! I even remembered to draft a pattern as I went so I can make more. (I’m not usually that organized when I’m being creative.) A little…
I started sewing this dress for Juniper the week before Flynn was born. All I had to do was hem it, but it sat unfinished in my closet for a month. When we were invited to a friend’s house this Sunday for an Easter egg hunt, I decided to finally finish it. It’s made from…
It seemed simple enough. Just adding a little bit of fabric, right? Well, as my husband will agree, this project nearly destroyed me. Almost every night I would throw this little crib up against a wall and declare that I was giving up. And every day when Shaun came home from work, there was I…
I should never have started looking at sewing machine accessories tonight… OH MAN! There are so many awesome presser feet out there!! I now have a gathering foot, a rolled hem foot, and a binding foot coming my way and I can NOT wait for them to get here!!! And just for fun, check out…
