Hello. This week I was busy making my girls and I some aprons. I liked the idea of making us something that all matched (Gracie is really into all of us matching) but not having them all look exactly the same. This is what I came up with: Today I'm sharing the tutorial for Gracie's ruffled apron over at Riley Blake Designs and here I am sharing the pattern and tutorial for Ruth's toddler style apron. As for mine...I can't post a tutorial yet. After I finished up I realized it would be ... View the Post
A Cross-Stitched Collar Tutorial
If you know us you know that we are always making up some sort of pattern for our girls and that we have a definite signature style---vintage with a touch of modern. So to gear up for Fabric Fest I made one of our very favorite dresses. This style of dress is actually the first dress I ever drafted from scratch...using only Gracie's measurements...and yes, yes, I have made a million of them. But never out of this fabric! This is a piece from Riley Blake's Hipster Line and I've been ... View the Post
An Easy Swimming Suit Cover Up Tutorial
Things are about to get crazy around here. Ok maybe not girls-gone-wild crazy but tutorial-fun-and-projects-we've-been-dying-to-post kind of crazy. So I decided that if I want to share Gracie's swimsuit cover up (which has already been worn far more often than it should have been by June 3rd) then I better post it today before all the madness begins. I originally posted it over on the Terra's blog (one of the nicest people I've ever "met") but today I am reposting here to start off the ... View the Post

Easy Striped Maxi Skirt Tutorial
I have had this project on my to-do list for a year....and it's finally done. Every time I started a new project I would spy that green and white knit fabric and the fact that it was begging to be a maxi skirt...... So, I finally did it. I didn't want to let another summer go by and not have it done. I know there are a million maxi skirt tutorials out there....but just it case you need to add another one to the mix, here's how I made mine. 1. Lay your knit fabric out on the fold (the ...

How to Add Fringe to a Hem for $5 Friday
This is a shirt that I actually made for Gracie's spring Look Book...but Ruth has commandeered it and wears it as a crazy dress/tunic thingy ma bobber. Here's a photo of a sad Grace wearing her stolen shirt. I told her I'd make her another one after I buy some more fringe but that wasn't helping on picture day. Not one little bit. Anyway...this post isn't about our sibling shirt rivalry it's about how to add fringe to the hem of a shirt so let's get to it. The first thing you do is ... View the Post
