My Sewing Journey
About a year ago, I tested the Around the Block Hoodie pattern. That post is here. I recently had the opportunity to sew up the kids version-and it is so cute! The Little and I spent nearly 45 minutes picking out fabric for this, but he is so happy with the results (and so am... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been trying to sew up some of my pattern stash. I have a love of dolmans, and found that I had the Slim Dolman by Halla Patterns on hand. I quickly printed it out and checked to see which fabric I had on hand. As I've mentioned... Continue Reading →
The Little has been very interested in pirates and ships lately and has requested to be a pirate for Halloween. I'm still not sure he completely understands what Halloween is, but he keeps saying he's getting ready for the Halloween party. With him being 3, I wanted to include him in this big day. I...

Do your Littles have any favorite toys that they carry around everywhere? For awhile (over a year), our kiddo has loved these little rocket pool toys that sink to the bottom of the pool.

Boho Fabrics just stocked this new hacci sweater knit (among others), and it is glorious! It's great for adults and kids. The scale... Continue Reading →
The Little is back at preschool this year. This summer he's grown quite a bit, so I figured he needed a few new items for his wardrobe to get him through the fall. Since we wear tees and shorts until November, that's what I decided to make! I've had this dinosaur jersey knit from Raspberry... Continue Reading →
When I first saw this pattern, I thought the shorts were so cute! I have been looking for more patterns to use up some of my athletic scraps, and this one is perfect! I have not seen many waistbands around like these shorts have and was excited at the opportunity to sew them up. The... Continue Reading →
This was the very first knit pattern I made about 2.5 years ago. I was looking for something to fit over my Little's cloth diaper and chunky baby legs... and this was it! This was a family favorite in both shorts and pants length for a couple of years. And now, it's a favorite of... Continue Reading →
