Baby Clothes Memory Quilt and PJ’s for Ami
Oh, the memories! This was the most fun sewing I’ve had in some time. Each piece of Ami’s baby quilt is full of joy! From her Born at Home Onesie (my little HBAC baby!!!) to my own baby dresses this baby quilt reminds me of my sweet little girl’s babyhood! Plus I had just enough yardage to…
Holly Pants
I’m back this week with another Holly Adaptation! Last week I showed you my refashioned Holly Hawthorn Dress and here are the pants. These were a quick refashion after separating my jumpsuit. I just had to add a new waistband (included in the pattern) and redo the side invisible zip. Easy peasy. I’m wearing them here with…
Holly Hawthorn Dress
This dress combines the best parts of two of my favorite patterns! The bodice of the Holly Jumpsuit and the skirt from the Hawthorn dress. Luck was with me as the patterns matched exactly at the waist-though in different sizes. My easiest pattern hack yet! Pattern + Fabric Info: Holly Jumpsuit, By Hand London Size 10 US/14UK…
Indigo and Mini Stripe Voile Bias Dresses

Her wish for Christmas…..to look like her favorite princess, Sofia the First. She’s even growing her hair out to look more like Sofia. My guideline for our family Christmas gifts is: Something you want, something you need, something to…

Vintage Vogue Knit Dress + Cochineal Dyeing
A new organic knit dress, lots of historical reading and my first try at dyeing with Cochineal. It’s been a great week! I’ve been so psyched to work with cochineal after I received my dye from Botanical Colors. I’ve been reading A Perfect Red by Amy Butler Greenfield which is all about Cochineal and its trade in…
