I made another finish I can share during Kids Clothes Week – The Marina Romper by Cali Faye. So that makes two out of four for my plans for the week. This is such a fun garment. Arden immediately began swishing back in forth in the roomy romper. The fabric is rayon challis and it’s {…Continue Reading}
I figured I’d fall off the ball, or drop the wagon at some point during Kids Clothes Week. I am accomplishing my hour a day, but trying to photograph and post all while working on other projects and at least attempting to have a life just isn’t happening. Obviously. I did manage to get out {…Continue Reading}
Yay!! It’s Day 4 of Kids Clothes Week and I have my first finish! Arden is doing a happy dance with me – or rather, she’s “shimmying” as she likes to call it. I can only guess she learned it in dance class? I had hoped to be a little further at this point, but {…Continue Reading}
One of the added challenges of participating in Kids Clothes Week for me is that I work Monday – Wednesday, so that means I’m doing my hour of sewing well after dark and the kids are in bed. This equates to crappy late night photos of a hanging garment that I post to Instagram hoping {…Continue Reading}
If you read my plans for KCW, you saw that I was planning to pretest my Matinée Dress using some great Michael Miller fabric. Happily, I’m not pretesting my Matinée Dress; it’s in testing right now – and they’re killing it!  I’m fulfilling my plans and making a dress with the fabric.  It is turning out soooo {…Continue Reading}
Allright… I’m cheating a little by posting this dress as Day 1 of KCW, but it seems perfectly fair when this adorable little dress can be sewn within the hour guideline. For real! I tested the Soleil Dress and was blown away at how quickly it came together. I am friends with Lauren Dahl, the {…Continue Reading}
I’m over at Kids Clothes Week today posing the question: Muslin or Not? Do you make a muslin? What are your deciding factors? I’ve discussed some reasons you may or may not want to make a muslin on the Kids Clothes Week blog.
Today I’ve discovered a way to clone myself so I can be in two places at once: I’m contributing at Kid’s Clothes Week and also guest posting at Welcome to the Mouse House. On Kids Clothes Week, I’m sharing my plans for the week. I gathered up the patterns and fabrics I’m hoping to use {…Continue Reading}
I have the honor of contributing this season of Kids Clothes Week, and kicking off the collaborative posts with some pattern inspiration. It seemed logical to me that since the theme of Mini Me has been suggested to gather up a bunch of Mom and Me looks to inspire. On occasion I dress my girls {…Continue Reading}
Recently, I received a custom request on Etsy for two rainbow dresses. I don’t have these listed, but the client had found a picture of the dress I made for Arden’s 4th birthday and wanted one in size 3T and another in size 3-6 month. Here is the original Rainbow Birthday Dress. So I set {…Continue Reading}
