Well that is an option thanks Nicole and Jess.M. I helps to ask others who’ve trodden the path before.

I have no idea what I did just now….
Help, Hugo!

Did it again.

@lilypadmontana I guess since we’ve dubbed our event All The Skirts, we will have to sew ALL THE SKIRTS! That means we’ll be squeezing in the Lazy Days, the Onstage Tutu, and the NEW skirt pattern. What a hardship!

Can’t wait to see it, Amanda!

Can’t wait to see it, Amanda!

I made the tiny size for Trixie but she only wore is a few times. It was the getting on that was the problem, it was fine once on but chubby baby arms don’t always bend the way you want them too.

I think flannel would be really cute and cozy!

Add one more to your list, because there will be a new one for spring! And that’s all I’m saying…

I think about this a lot, too. We get lovely hand-me-downs from a cousin and an older friend. I usually take a few things and pass the rest on to other friends. There always seem to be enough dresses (said cousin gets things from an aunt with a penchant for amazing French hand-smocking), so I try not to make too many of those. Over time, I’ve…[Read more]

Finally.

Finally.

I’ll have to dig through my patterns and see how many I am missing. Though I have already sewn 2 this week LOL.
