As I started writing this post, I realized that I sewed this unicorn nightgown for Hattie exactly three months ago, for her 6th birthday (still wondering how my baby is 6). Since then I’ve sewn a number of other things for my girls that also haven’t shown up here yet, so I figured I better get to it! I used our favorite girl’s nightgown pattern, the Bellamy Nightgown pattern, and as you’ll see below, Hattie’s favorite furry friend got a matching unicorn nightgown of her own. [Read more…]

If you hate trying to keep socks on a baby’s feet as much as I did when my babies were, well, babies, you’ll love these little pants.

I recently purged my closet, and donated a handful of my older wintry dresses that were out of style or I was just sick of. It felt great, and gave me the push to make some new dresses, since I’m now without my old trusty backups that in reality were what I most often ended up wearing because of the simple fact that they were there. Today I’m sharing my recent make using the Charleston Dress Pattern from Hey June Handmade (spoiler alert: it’s allll good news)! [Read more…]
