Awhile back Elizabeth and I were talking and she mentioned that we should bring back the skort. The very next day I decided that not only did I want to make a skort but I wanted to make a jumper skort and cut out this outfit for Gracie. I used a 1970's baby boy jumper pattern and then added in the skort and ties. Because it was a boy's pattern I went with some retro boy's fabric and then added some vintage buttons.

$5 Friday–Wanna see a $5 craft fail?
Ok, ok, in my brain this was going to be a darlingly cute skirt. Reality---not so much. But the pictures made me laugh hysterically today. You see this inspiration (it's no longer there but that is where I got the image from) that I found and pinned and thought was so cute.

(This was pinned long before I saw giant bows on everyone's skirts that turned out much cuter ... View the Post

Melly and Me…Kind of
When I first started sewing (which wasn't that long ago) I fell in love with all the adorable Melly and Me patterns that I saw everywhere I went. I seriously think I bought one of every animal pattern they make. But then I was too scared to try them and put them all in a giant Ziploc bag and tucked them away in a drawer where they stayed until I just recently uncovered them. And being no longer afraid. I got to work. The first thing I made was this adorable cat bag. Grace loves cats and ... View the Post
