Have you all been following Project Run and Play? And been totally blown away at the designs? Seriously fantastic designers.....we seriously can't wait until Fridays to show all of you. Every time one of the designers emails us their HTML and we take a peek, we call each other and gush. Serious gush. Because each design has been so amazing. And the Sew Along contest....well, we have been blown away by it too. When we talked about doing this at home sewing thing, we thought if we got 4 or ... View the Post
Some Dresses
Here is the last of the Christmas presents that I made this year. These two for some nieces on the other side of the family. It was kind of fun to make matching dresses for a change.

Embroidery from Vintage Sewing Patterns
I have been wanting a little hand stitching project to do this year. One that I can throw in my purse (or Mary Poppins bag is more like it) that I can work on a little at a time while I am waiting at different places.And as you all well know....I love vintage patterns! (Shocker, huh?) So, recently while going through my vintage pattern bookshelf (yes, it is a whole bookshelf--embarrassing) I was wondering why I am not using the darling artwork on the front for patterns.I am wanting some cute ...
