I promised this tutorial months ago when I did my first pattern sew-along (remember the wool bias skirt?) and here it finally is! I’ve been wanting to make a light-weight knit lounge sack for Linus so he has some cozy but not too hot jammies. He’s crawling so we can’t do a sleep sack anymore, […]

Michael Miller just released a bunch of beautiful new lines, including some new knit fabrics by Patty Young! Lately I have been all about the knits – they’re so soft and comfy and … comfy. I love comfy for me, for my kids, it’s what I need in my life right now. I have a […]
These days my mornings get started way to fast for me to even think about doing something interesting with my hair. So pony tail it is on most days, but that’s nothing a twisty headband can’t fix! SUPPLIES 1/4 yard fabric (or a large scrap) I used the new Riley Blake Chevron in Navy basic […]
Remember my foam ball wreath? Well…I made it to hang from this curtain rod above our piano (an idea I found on Pinterest). Thoughts? I think I need maybe some more greenery to wrap around or something else entirely. I also need to do something on the walls on either side of the wreath but […]
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 […]
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 […]
Linus was born at the very end of August and so he has been pretty newbornish this whole winter. Keeping him warm and bundled when we go out is obviously important, but putting him in the car seat that way is a nightmare. I made him a little fleece poncho so he could wear his […]
Pin It This isn’t Landon…it’s Gus wearing Landon’s towel, and isn’t he a silly goose. My boys each have their own hooded towel and they’re great. So easy to make and they hang on the hangers sooo much easier with a hood. EVERY kid needs a hooded towel, that’s all I’m saying, and here’s what […]
Are you a cardigan girl? I TOTALLY am. Before we begin, be sure to check out what other clothing re-purposing I’ve done–like this T-Shirt grocery bag video tutorial for example. Now back to the cardigan. This tutorial on Pinterest inspired me and I promise you that soon I will have more cardigans than is healthy for a girl. Here’s […]
I saw this idea on Pinterest and loved it. I had a wall just aching for this project… Cut out a zillion leaf shapes with lots of different smallish printed papers. I used blues/greens/browns because that’s my color comfort zone. Monochromatic papers work best I think. I used the Don Juan Cricut cartridge and cut […]
