*We shared this tutorial last month on Riley Blake's blog and are sharing it with all of you today....you should go check out all the design team's projects---there is such talent there!*Also, please ignore the fact that there is no step #6....I am just crazy (or tired) sometimes ;)One reason that Liz and I started our blog was to show everyone that if we could sew, then basically anyone could.

The Pajama Game
Today I am sharing with you the kids' holiday jammies that they opened for Christmas Eve.

This is the nightgown I made ... View the Post

I really need to tell you all the stories, but I have just been keeping them in my heart for a year now. They need to be shared, but I feel so protective of his birthmomma, who loves that little boy dearly and made ... View the Post
Project Run and Play– Feather Tutu Tutorial
This feather tutu was a fun project. I will warn you that there is some handstitching involved....but I found that it holds better and the results make it well worth the hour or so to get it done.

Here's what you will need to make one yourself. * White muslin-or any other broadcloth or cotton that you want to use for the ... View the Post
Vintage Crafter’s Challenge. Liz.
Grace loves all things pink. And for awhile now I've been hoarding yards of hot pink fabric that my grandmother bought years and years ago to back a quilt with. Finally last week I decided that it was time to start using it. And came up with this: Here's my supply list: *1 Simplicity Pattern (#7903) from 1977 *1 Fat Quarter of crazy turquoise and pink floral (from a cut of fabric Elizabeth and I found out thrifting) *1 long piece of ivory colored vintage lace (also picked up at a local ...
