I made this lovely little knit/stretch lace capri joggers for the Girl to tie-dye at the camp. I used parts of an Ottobre pattern, but the legs on it are a bit off. I will need to adjust that a bit next time I use that pattern. The white lace on it is the same lace as […]
Shannon invited me to participate in the Breeze Top pattern tour, and I just couldn’t say no! Of course, the Girl has her own opinions and I wasn’t sure she would be as thrilled as I. Fortunately, she liked the style and we worked on a top that she would wear. Yes, this is the top […]
Today I am over at Gracious Threads for her Embellish is for Boys series with this outfit for the Boy. Notice how dry our backyard is in this photo? Yeah…that is SO NOT THE CASE right now. I am guessing we have had 5-7 inches of rain overnight and into mid-day today. Our backyard is […]
The camp that the children go to for a few weeks over the summer has a tie dye activity. Every. Single. Week. Really, how many tie dye t-shirts does a kid need? The Boy already did a tie-dyed t-shirt as part of his last week in school. He learned there were different ways to tie […]
I was excited to try to make this top: The supplies I used was a lace appliqué and a very light, thin cotton gauze. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find lace like the top above. The piece I found was smaller, but thought it would still work. I drafted a pattern, and made it very drapey and long. […]
It’s that time of year again…time to sew the Girl some swimsuits! The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday. Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This is also going to be my June Pinterest project. If you noticed…I didn’t have a […]
This week, I am up over at Gracious Threads (oops, guess it is next week!) for her Embellish is for Boys series. She is showing some great options for making boy clothes more fun! I am showing how to use vinyl iron-on from my Silhouette machine to dress up boy clothes. I bought this stencil from […]
I bought the Girl some jeans from Justice when they went on sale. I concede that making jeans is not my favorite thing to do, though I am getting a bit better at it. Finding decent bottom weights with lycra and fun colors is not the easiest, though. I was just fine with whipping out my […]
This weekend I don’t think I really wore anything I made, so I broke my streak! I did sign up for 5 of 7 days, so it’s all good. This was a dreary rainy day, so black was in order! We are slowly, slowly warming up around these parts. Yesterday I spent the day outside […]
Finally Friday! Yay! I know this is supposed to be a “theme day” for MMM, but I couldn’t do the “too pretty for pants” theme. I had a chiropractor appointment this day, and I need to wear pants for that! I shouldn’t have worn heels as my back was not happy with me anyways, but […]
