And here is shirt #3! This one is made also with one of Michael Miller’s new interlock knit fabric – it’s called Nordic Diamond and comes in a handful of colors. It’s super soft, very stretchy and comfortable, and just really nice fabric all around. So wonderful to work with and it looks so great […]

Time for boy’s shirt pattern #2: Simplicity 9499. This time I used that beautiful blue Nordic Diamond print from Michael Miller’s new knit collection with a solid grey and it’s perfect! I made it a little big so it should fit him for next school year. Project: Boy’s long sleeved raglan t-shirt MATERIALS & SUPPLIES […]
My favorite fabric source, Michael Miller, sent me some of their new knits to play with, and I decided to do a boy’s shirt pattern review series. I chose 3 different commercial patterns and am going to do a sew-along for each one and then compare them all and pick a favorite. Ready….GO! Project: Boys […]
Once upon a time there were two superheroes, The Wizard and Superman. They were very strong because they exercised… …and ate their fruits and veggies. There was a mean, old, stinky monster named Mr. Slishy Dog. He was very mean and didn’t share. One day Mr. Slishy Dog took all the blocks and wouldn’t share. […]
Resin flower cabochon earrings have been my favorite thing for a while now. I wear a pair every day and never get tired of them. I get my resin flowers here – they’re cheap, shipping is free, and so many sizes, colors, and styles to choose from! You need just a few basic […]
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 […]
For Elliot’s birthday last month we got him some more Quadrilla marble run pieces and a new scooter. I didn’t have time/energy to figure out how to wrap an already assembled scooter, so I left it in the car and made a scavenger hunt for him instead. Here’s what you’ll need: cardstock envelopes Cricut or […]
I found a free skirt pattern that I’ve been dying to try with some chiffon and it was a complete failure. See how the side seams are bunchy? AAAGGG! All that work…not exactly wasted I suppose. Cutting the fabric out was much more difficult than I had imagined, but the sewing was a disaster. Next […]
