I have altogether too many of my husband’s old shirts lying around, ruined by stains and yellowed sweat-stained collars, etc. As a result? The Man Shirt Grocery Bag Dispenser is born. Take that shirt and cut off its nasty collar. Turn shirt inside out and sew from the original side seam up through the shoulder […]

Are you ready to make something easy and adorable? This is your project! Like I said yesterday I love rompers but my babies are just too darn tall to wear them from the store. But that’s okay, because rompers are suddenly one of my favorite apparel items to make. If you missed yesterday’s post, check […]
I just love a baby in a romper, but I have a hard time finding them to fit my babies! Store bought rompers are usually too short. No surprise there… I like knit rompers the best, but the only romper pattern I could find used woven fabric, so I pulled out my trusty onesie pattern […]
Lately I am not so good at coming up with new and brilliant patterns and projects. I’m not sure I’ve ever been good at that…but I am LOVING working up some of my favorite blogger’s projects like this one from Dana at Made. She is one of my favorite bloggers ever. She is who I […]

My latest experiment was making a onesie top t-shirt (inspired by Dana) and I think it went pretty well. […]
I love the little envelope necks on baby onesies and it recently occurred to me that such things should exist for older boy’s shirts. Right? Am I crazy? Of course not! Maybe you are one of those people who can wing a pattern but I am not. So I cheated and altered a onesie pattern into a […]
I am FINALLY getting around to finishing up some quilts. This is the Ginger Blossoms fabric from Michael Miller from a while ago. I decided to do a tulip stipple design and tried marking the design on the fabric BEFORE basting the whole thing together which is a very good idea. I used a […]
I finished this pirate quilt top ages ago using the very cute line for Riley Blake by Emily Taylor. I just saw that she has a brand new Pirate Matey’s line coming in October and I think I like it even better than this one! But I always say that… I finally got around […]
