I’ve been having so much fun with Riley Blake’s new Chevron cotton prints, and making a little monster pillow/friend to go in my boys’ new monster themed bedroom has been on the to-do list for quite some time. This boyish fabric was perfect for the project. The great thing about this project is if you […]

Maybe it’s because Easter is a moving holiday, but it always sneaks up on me! This year I decided to finally make some little decorations to help it feel more like Easter, and these adorable fabric Easter eggs were the first project on the list! I used Retro Mama’s pattern (get the free pattern here) […]
I know I said the next Sew-Along was going to be for a sleep/play sack, but this project snuck up on me first! I got some of Riley Blake’s new cotton Chevron prints and I wanted to make some fun and crazy little pants for my boys. They couldn’t choose just one favorite color so…the […]
My first Chevron project was some new zip pouches – I inherited a duffle bag full of knitting needs (yay!) from a good friend and these zip pouches are the best way I’ve found to organize them. I needed a new one for my circulars, and I thought the pink Chevron would be perfect. Also […]

Wreaths did not used to appeal to me AT ALL. But look how cute this is! I have seen some seriously cute wreaths out there lately and I’m totally jumping on the bandwagon. For my very first wreath, I did a fabric wrapped foam ball variation that is a little expensive to make, but I […]
I’m going to start a new Sew-Along series, beginning with this 1-hour skirt! It’s going to go like this: I’m going to choose a pattern (or take reader suggestions!) and I’m going to make up the pattern taking tons of pictures so you can make the item along with me! Sewing from patterns can be […]
I know I’ve posted about making toddler ties before, but I just made another 10 for my boys and had to post again! They are so fast, probably about 20 minutes to make one, start to finish. I used some Michael Miller Ta Dot fabric to make these three new ones just for Easter Sunday. […]
Pin It A while ago Michael Miller sent a bunch of cotton quilting fabric from the Ta Dot collection, my FAVORITE polka dot fabrics ever. And then I had a baby…and then I had a newborn…and then I had a 6 month old…and THEN I finally had time to do something fabulous with the fabric. […]
