Create The Perfect Fit

Today we have a fun give away from an equally fun lady. Joi Mahon! We had the opportunity of meeting her recently and discovered that she was indeed aptly named. Joi is such a joy and we are excited to share her new book with you today. Joi has had over 20 years of experience fitting real women and she shares that experience with you in her book "Creating the Perfect Fit".  We received a copy of it a few weeks ago and it is a terrific resource to have on hand.  Joi knows what she is talking ...

Halloween Costume Collars (for lots of different costumes!)

This last Spring, we did a project for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores for their Fall Lookbook.  For it, they gave us four themes and we brainstormed and sewed four projects up that fit those themes, which we love!  (We really do still love sewing for themes ;) For the Halloween Chic theme, we decided on some old-school Halloween Costume Collars that could be made with simple collar pattern....so the lion, the clown and the ballerina costumes were born!  And we really do love them....they were ...

My Top Ten Favorite Ways To Use Baby Wipes

I've had babies and/or toddlers with me now for over a decade.  And I've LOVED every minute (I always say that I want to freeze time.)  These little people are my world... but they also are a lot of work!

An Everyday Alice in Wonderland Costume

"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then." -Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland How often do I say I want to freeze time.  Once a week?  Everyday?  All the time? All of the above. And I mean it.  Especially with this girl.  I love her exactly the way she is right now. In so many ways she reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.  Her imagination...her curiosity...her temper... And just like with Alice I'm afraid one day she will wake up and her days in wonderland will be ... View the Post
