Deeeeeeeeep breath. OH BOY. I am about to post pictures of myself in a swimsuit on the internet. What is happening?! **disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links. And pictures of me in a bathing suit. You can walk away now if you want to save yourself....
Guess what today is?! It's Patterns for Pirates release day! I'd totally raise the roof if it were still acceptable to do so. Who are we kidding? I'll raise that roof regardless! The Sweet Tee (women's top/dress) and the Sugar Pie (girl's top/dress) is so quick...
AAHHHHH!!! There is nothing I love more in this world than sewing for Louis. But when I get to sew coordinating outfits for the two of us? BEST DAY EVER. Made for Mermaids is releasing their Charlie and Mama Lauren tops today and there is so much win in both...
Before you go all "poor neglected Bennett" on me, I need to tell you that I've sewn a few shirts for him recently...they just haven't all been photographed and put on the blog. Most of my sews are for pattern releases and blog tours so I tend to photograph all of...
Woohoo! Another Made for Mermaids release day is here. And it's a darling pattern, as usual. I was a lucky duck that got to test out both this time around...the Blair AND the Mama Blair. I borrowed my adorable niece, Annie, for photos and she got a sweet top with...
"Louis, we need to come up with a Valentine's Day card for your classmates." L - I want it to have puppies. "Oh that's fun! Let me think about a puppy card." L - No, I want a puppy mask. AND a puppy card. So we can all wear masks and be puppies! Have I ever...
Patterns for Pirates is releasing a new pattern today. And it's pretty sweet. (I totally went there.) **Before I get down to it, I'd like to add that I took these photos when I had just come down with strep throat. And I was practically dying. (cue the dramatic...
Patterns for Pirates' first, and one of the most popular, women's patterns is getting an update and it's releasing today! The Pumpkin Spice Dolman has a loose fitting dolman sleeve (aka a "batwing"), with a fitted lower sleeve. Nothing changed on that end, we just...
Did I sell it on the title? Or just make it seem like I've gone off the deep end? Either way works for me, I suppose. I couldn't figure out what to call this post so I thought I'd just break it down to the basics. Leggings. Coffee with booze in it. Bam. Mabel...
Eep! I got to test my first ever Made for Mermaids pattern! I've only been drooling over all of her designs forever now, but seeing as how I don't think dresses really fit into Louis' wardrobe scheme, I've just been left to admire from afar. M4M is releasing their...
Woot! Patterns for Pirates is releasing a new pattern today. And you're going to love it. Have I steered you wrong yet? (If I have...don't tell me. Let me live in this moment, haha.) But doesn't P4P already have a raglan pattern? Good question. And the answer...
I think I can safely say that 2015 was the year of making for me. Or, more specifically, the year of sewing. I really found my niche with this blog and in the sewing world. It's been super fun and I've loved every second of it. The networking with other women in...
