This one is even easier than the Ruffled Apron since there is no gathering involved. Every Occasion Dress – Banded ApronSkill Level – {…Continue Reading}
I have the dress part of my giveway version of the Every Occasion Dress completed, so I thought I’d tease a bit with a couple of sneek peek photos… Jennifer asked if I could use a different fabric than the original birdcage print, so I prowled her blog My Mommy Can to try to get a {…Continue Reading}

I finally did it! I whipped up two adorable reversable pinafores with fabric I have had for months and months and listed them in my Etsy shop, Jennuine Design along with the two bibs I finished up the other day!

Her designs were consistently great throughout the competition. {…Continue Reading}
I received a special request for a “trucky” apron for my friend’s three-year old who likes to help out in the kitchen. This was a good kick in the pants to get me back at the machine; I’ve been seriously un-motivated as of late. Just tired, tired, tired!! So this is what I came up with. I couln’t {…Continue Reading}
I made this cute reversable bucket hat using some of the wool menswear fabric I had left over from my Lil’ Rascal project for Project Toddler Runway. I used the free pattern and tutorial from Sew Much Ado. Unfortunately, the toddler for whom I made this’ melon is a bit big and it doesn’t really fit {…Continue Reading}
This was my project for Week 5 of Shwin&Shwin’s Project Toddler Runway. The challenge was denim, and I wanted to use a lot of denim, but keep it from getting too heavy – hence the chambray that I used for the gathering and base of the top. After I had the top all done, I {…Continue Reading}
