Pin It So the coral addition to my color scheme is OUT. I think I’m going to stick with straight blues and greens. It’s super matchy matchy, but that’s kind of my thing. So I made another sprocket pillow, only this time sans sprockets. I found this beautiful Michael Miller fabric (Sandi Henderson’s Secret Garden) [...]

Pin It I whipped me up a new nursing cover to (mostly) match my car seat cover for this new baby. I used this fabulous Michael Miller fabric, part of the Citron Gray line. I love how it’s so neutral. Pretty for me but not girly for Linus. Love. It. I did this one super [...]

I got the idea for this project in Sew & Stow by Betty Oppenheimer (same book with the after-swim wrap and 29 other fabulous home organization projects) and it’s really helping me clean up the clutter in my car. The instructions in the book are great because Oppenheimer gives standard measurements and then a formula [...]

Pin It Someone sent me a white spa towel wrap a few months ago and I loved it so much for after showering, I had to make one for swimming. With two kids and approximately 30 pounds of gear to carry on my person wherever we go, I just don’t have hands to keep my [...]

I’ve been on the search for a perfect sun hat pattern and I finally found it in a great little sewing book called Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase. Because it’s in a book, I can’t very well give you the pattern here, although I wish I could because I know you [...]

You can buy shoulder harness pads for kids car seats, but Elliot hasn’t had any and I wanted to make him some to match his carseat. I used scraps and it was a quick and easy sewing project. Cut 4 pieces of fabric (I used flannel) 6.5″ x 6.5″. Cut 2 pieces of thin batting, [...]
