Along with the rest of the world, our family has fallen head over heels in love with "The Child"...also known to the internet as Baby Yoda. The Mandalorian has been the best thing to come out of Disney+ so far and we are greatly looking forward to the next level of...
For July 4th I created superhero themed shirts for the entire family to wear. Honestly, I didn't need to make them. But I wanted to make them. So...it totally happened. And I totally love it. I decided to make myself a Thor shirt. But I really didn't want to wear...
We have a new Stranger Things OBSESSED fan in our household. It's adorable how much Louis is taken with the Stranger Things stories. After much debate as our parental team, we allowed him to watch the series with us. Wether or not your child is old...
On July 3rd, I decided that somehow none of our red, white and blue clothes were good enough to be worn this year for the 4th, and that I needed to stretch my sewing wings a little bit and make us some new tees. I'm sure you know by now that I'm a huge fan of...
As if you'd even think for a second that I wouldn't sew for other people for our 10 Year Anniversary party! I had so much fun putting together all of these coordinating outfits! I had always planned on making something for my sister to wear. And then wanted to make a...
What was almost as exciting as my dress to make for our anniversary party were the boys' outfits! I actually find sewing button-downs super satisfying because there is a level of perfectionism that is required and when you absolutely nail that collar or placket, you...
I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to start making my dress for our party. If you've known me for any amount of time, I usually wait until the very last minute to create outfits and costumes, because the inspiration hasn't quite hit me yet. I think I...
On Saturday, we gathered as many friends and family as we possibly could and threw a party, in celebration of 10 years of wedded bliss between Bennett and myself. It seriously was the best day ever. EVER. The weather was beyond perfect, and the mood was just so fun...
Oh my goodness. I am so excited to share with you the costume that we chose, created, and executed for Louis this year. Louis is a kid who makes a decision and sticks with it. No matter if you try and talk him out of it or not. He chooses his Halloween costumes and...
You guys. I have not jumped aboard the Hamilton train and have just a very basic knowledge of the play and story. So when I got a message that the custom costume I was about to make was one of the characters, my heart stopped a little. And then it turned into a...
I sure hope you're not tired of seeing Star Wars goodies pop up on here, because I can't help myself and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. I've had this design worked up for a while now but just haven't had the time to print it on a tee. Goodie for...
While putting together our ideas for Lou's Star Wars birthday party, we wanted to create a game that the kiddos could play, that we could use after the party was over, and that would be ridiculous and on theme with it all. Since we were themeing the party around...
