We are going to the end of the Oregon Trail center soon with our homeschool group and I need make Tuesday another Prairie girl dress. The last dress I made for Tuesday has gotten lots of wear, she has it in rotation with her regular clothes, so it’s not just dress up to her. It went …

Our little Mail Carrier
This is actually NOT a halloween costume, but I’m putting up the pictures now in case you have a little one who wants a postal carrier/mailman outfit. Tuesday has been super into mail and notes for a long time. I need to do a post about how we utilize that for learning, and her cool …
Circle top – Modifying a Ready to Wear Tee
I have a million other things to do (first birthday party tonight!) but have been wanting to blog so badly. After years of blogging I just get this itch when it’s been a while! I made the girls matching tops by modifying RTW shirts (well Bennet’s was a onsie, but I’m not a onsie fan …

Kids Clothes Week – Day 1 & 2
I have some major catching up to do on the blog. And a post has been started with photos of fun things we’ve been doing. But it’s Summer Kids Clothes Week and I decided I had to participate. So here’s what I’ve made so far: My little poser. This is a sweet and easy little …
Teeny Tiny Trainer Tutorial
Tuesday was tiny, Bennet is tinier! Add to that starting EC earlier than we did with Tuesday and there are not many trainers that fit my wee girl. I did find these from Charlie Banana (it doubles as a swim diaper) and got one. SO cute. But since I sew and my friend showed me …
Things

The Bear Sweatsuit

My Little Brown Hairstreak
Oh my silly Tuesday. She decided she wanted to be a brown hairstreak butterfly and went on and on about it’s beautiful tan color (the butterfly was pictured on this post). The tan body was no problem. I pulled out an old Stretch and Sew pattern for a simple raglan sweatshirt type top and traced …
Spider Web Skirt
Last year two of the Jo-Ann’s in town closed so they could make one mega Jo-Ann’s. For some reason when they open a new store they don’t use any inventory from old stores, so everything was on sale. It took me a while to realize this was happening and I didn’t get many awesome deals. …
