Not one to shy away from fanwear for my kiddos, I happily tested this football jersey top pattern. The test ended up being dropped due to some fit issues, so unfortunately, no pattern at this point to share. Maybe in the future she will finish it up, but not sure if that is in the […]
I have been meaning to make a cute little denim dress for my girl for some time now. This fabric was purchased a good year ago, and is a lightweight denim woven fabric. As with most things these days, I needed an impetus to spur me into action in getting it done. This year’s family […]

This is a transition piece for summer into fall. The fabrics on these came from a round opening at Moonbeam Fabrics. Rockabily Sparkles I wasn’t sure what to do with this fun sparkle print, so I just kept it simple. I knew she would wear this outfit a bunch, since it is just a fun, […]
