I don’t know why this never made it to the blog… at least I don’t think it did. Probably because when I made it up (last summer I think), it went right into use. Here is a little bit of the fabric I used, and I also participated in a vintage sheet swap that helped …

Bennie’s Blanket
Even though we woke her up in the middle of the night to come help at Bennet’s birth Sciarrino managed to grab the birthday present she’d made for the baby. She made up this sweet wonky stars quilt with some cottons we’d got at quilt guild and shirting. The shirting has a really great subtle …
Snack bag tutorial
Ok, yes, there are a million snack bag tutorials out there. But after I borrowed one of my friend’s I knew I had to reverse engineer it and make some up myself. I haven’t seen a pattern quite like this out there, so I thought I’d post a little tutorial. I’m not going to lie; …
The (new) Baby Blanket
I thought it would be nice to make something up specifically for this baby. I have lots of wonderful handmade things that the baby will use, but almost all are hand me downs from Tuesday’s time as a little one. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that at all, and it has made …
Another banner day!
Oh man, I’m addicted to these sweet skirts! I want to make one for myself, but Sciarrino told me she was a bit unsure about that; maybe with more mellow fabrics. Until then I’ll work through every little girl I know, starting with the birthday girls for this month. For a two year old and …
Bernina? Sewing machine help!
Remember when I got my Babylock and was so in love with it? I’m sorry to say but I FREAKING HATE THAT MACHINE. I had so many issues with it, that after taking it in SEVEN times the dealer finally admitted they couldn’t fix it and gave me a new (but same model) one about …
Banner Day (60 degree)
I have a ton of great inspiration up on my Kid’s Clothes pinterest board, but this weekend it looked like the banner day skirt would be the most fun to make. And my scrap bin was over flowing so I went for it. The added bonus was getting to use my new 60 degree triangle …
This Moment
(thanks to Sarah for the photo after an iPhone back up snafu) Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life.
We’ve been…
Making messes. Creative ones of course. And looking at the clock, also putting off making dinner to make said messes. Spinning(!) Tuesday showing off some fiber I unearthed from the insane fiber/yarn stash that was hidden behind all the garage sale stuff we got rid of. Did I mention we finally had our garage sale? …
t-shirt copy dress
Tuesday has a little dress that she loves. It’s a simple soft jersey knit and I wanted to figure out how it was constructed to make her another. So when Bj got a super soft jersey shirt (that also happened to be super skinny fit and small) I knew it was just the thing to …
