or at least I was with my mom’s help. I am pleased with how they turned out, the girls love them and that makes me even happier! Right before we left I figured found a tutorial (HERE) for a skirt that I really liked. We just happened to have this Moda and Amy Butler fabric [...]

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone gets to enjoy some time with family today, eat a bit of chocolate or a big home-cooked meal. Most of all, I wish that you all find the peace, joy, and grace that God offered through the sacrifice and resurrection of His perfect son. Christ is risen, and is as much for [...]
halter

This little halter dress I am quite proud of for several reasons: the print is really great with very rich colors (hard to see in my poor photos) it is my own design, no pattern the entire thing was completed in about an hour and a half total cost $0.00! I did not buy [...]
I have to share

I feel bad for reader’s looking for raw milk articles, ferments, and handcrafted butter or bread. Those posts are there, please search if that is what you are looking for. As of late, though, I have re-discovered my love of sewing. It satisfies the creative and practical side of me in one fell swoop. I can’t [...]

Yesterday and today, my mom and I have been sewing. We went to the big city (not just a big city, but The big city around these parts) on Friday to see what we could find. We left with enough fabric, patterns, and trim to make 11 items, plus I have two items at home that [...]

I am a sewing machine! Ummm, okay, no I am just a dork. But I am sewing quite a bit and loving it. Today, I almost finished the knot dresses (pics below) and cut out a couple of the Miss Lily dresses for the older girls. I then went out to go to my Grandma’s house to sort through [...]
can’t sleep, must sew

I could not get to sleep last night…so I sewed. I am making four scrappy apron dresses off of the same pattern (Forget-Me-Knot Dress.) There were a few things I weren’t sure about on the fit, so I am making my twins’ dresses first. When I am done and made any alterations I need I [...]

I made two dresses this week while waiting for fabric to come in for a couple other dresses. I just happened to be in a big city (aka, a place big enough for a fabric store) and found these great fabrics. The lemons are an Alexander Henry print, the cherries I am not sure. I thought [...]
a bit more sewing

First off, I frustrate myself. The batteries died in my camera, simple enough. We are out of batteries, not uncommon. I go to the store this weekend and leave without the batteries that were ON MY LIST! I frustrate myself. I wanted to take pictures of and share a couple dresses. So please pardon me [...]

…yet I find myself posting a few tidbits just because. Three girls and a mommy are well, still have one girl sick and now a sick daddy. No weekend post from daddy. It was not a good weekend here. A bloody nose that lasted all day and well into the night (Brie, and it was [...]
