A couple of weeks ago while shopping I came across a darling little jumper for a little girl at H&M. I almost bought it (it was around $10 or so) but then when taking a second look at it realized it was just an updated version of a pillowcase dress. So, I came home and made one. In 30 minutes. My kind of quick, naptime sewing project.I did take a few pictures along the way to make a quick tutorial.Here's how I did it....I was making a TALL size 6/7 and since I want her to be able to wear it ...

The Love Me Two Times Skirt
Ok so I made another "Love" skirt. I made the All You Need Is Love Skirt back in February but then last week I got to peruse some of Riley Blake's solids and decided it was time to make another one. But this time using cotton instead of knit and felt. I made it just like our Simple Spring Skirts but just added the word "LOVE" between steps 3 and 4. It was really easy and if you want to make one here's what to do: (I just drew out the letters by hand because, well, I like drawing ... View the Post

So I've spent the last few days mulling over the life expectancy of van dwelling spiders and decided that without a food source my mini monster wouldn't be with us much longer.Wrong.Yesterday I'm stopped at a light when I see a black spot on the corner of my sunglasses. When my eyes focus on the speck I realize it's the spider! ON MY SUNGLASSES!! ON MY FACE!!!! So being the rational person I am I rip off my sunglasses and throw them against the front window, sending the spider flying off who ... View the Post
A Multi-Purpose Maxi Skirt for $5 Friday
Awhile back I was wedding dress shopping with my little sister when I saw the cutest skirt. It was white with a wide elastic waistband and had a bunch of pick-ups and as soon as I saw it I made a note to myself to make one like it for Grace this spring and today I finally did it. (Dude, that was a long sentence.) So yesterday I took Grace to Wal-Mart and let her choose any color fabric she wanted---she chose orange. (Yes, I bought fabric at Wal-Mart...I'm not a fabric snob.) I was ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursday–A Vintage Circus Blanket
Look at the gem from the thrift store that I scored a couple of weeks ago! I seriously ran right to it and snatched it up before someone else did. Although to tell you the truth, nobody else wanted it...no one else even looked at it.Ok. Let me back up a minute. I have to tell you all a story. At the end of last summer I bought some Target-clearanced, turquoise, quatrefoil dishtowels for a buck. I immediately saw them and thought, "those would make a darling skirt." So, I grabbed two packs ... View the Post
