Spring Look Book: The Faux Bib Shirt. A Tutorial.

 This is one of my favorite outfits from Gracie's spring look book. The shorts are some hand-me-down pants that we were given but that weren't long enough.  So I wacked them off and she's wearing them as shorts. And the shirt...oh, I love this shirt. It's a $3.88 Garamimals T-shirt that I added mini pom pom trim to. To make a shirt like Grace's you just need your shirt, the trim, some Liquid Stitch, and your sewing machine.  Now here comes the tutorial. (Pay attention...it's a ... View the Post

Spring Look Book: The T-shirt Dress Anyone Can Make (With the How To)

 This is the best thing I've made Grace in awhile. Best as in she likes it the most.  I think that is because I left the skirt long...like she wanted...so she doesn't have to wear leggings (or any sort of bloomers) underneath.  I had planned on cutting the dress several inches shorter when I hemmed it but...she talked me into the longer length...and I have to agree that it is kind of cute like this.  So the longer length will stay. Now I said this is the T-shirt dress that anyone can make.  And ... View the Post

Spring Look Book: Inspiration 2013—Black and White

The inspiration for Gracie's Spring Look book can be summed up in 3 words:Black and White.That's it. Right now...I am crazy for all things black and white.It's clean and crisp and modern and graphic and I just love it.Although after I just said it's "modern" I have to admit that I've probably been influenced by what I've been watching lately...and it's anything but modern:"The Dick Van Dyke Show".It's my favorite show.(Nerdy but true.)And I just finished watching all the episodes sequentially.  ...

Drop Waist Skirt Tutorial

Today I get to start sharing Gracie's Spring Look Book. I really should start with my inspiration post but I'm too excited so I'm going to just jump right in and share my inspiration later...maybe on Wednesday. This is the first look that I made for Grace.  We just registered her for kindergarten so there has been a lot of talk about school next year---including what "school girls" wear which is where the idea for this look came from.  (She doesn't have to wear a uniform but still thinks ...
