Remember the Janie Dress I made last fall? Â Well Hayley at Mouse House Creations just released the Women’s Janie Dress! It has all the same neckline finishes as the girls’ version: regular neckline, ballet neckline, Peter Pan collar, and cowl.

I made another leotard! Â But I never photographed and posted about the first two, so this is the first appearance here on A Jennuine Life. Â This is the Jalie #3464 Lillie Leotard.

Woot! Â I got invited to play with a new line of fabrics from Sew Caroline for Art Gallery Fabrics; Here Comes the Fun! And fun it certainly is – the colors are so vibrant and happy and the designs are cheerful and fun! Â If you remember, I previously used the voile from Caroline’s Happy Home {…Continue Reading}
