Trending Post: Trick or Treat Bags Free Pattern
It may be a week or so into the new year, but today I’m going to back up just a bit so I can share some of what are always my favorite sewing projects of the year, my kids’ handmade Christmas outfits. I’ve divided it up into two posts, and you can find all about…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. Read on to see how I joined forces with Cricut + Simplicity to sew a Boy’s Bow Tie Pattern! What is it about a boy in a bow tie? I don’t get to sew for my…
Happy almost New Year! I wanted to share my last sewing project of 2012 with you today. I already shared Lola’s corduroy dress here, but I couldn’t resist making a couple of bow ties for Wyatt and Weston to match. I used Christie’s tutorial, which I also used for wedding bow ties here. It’s a great tutorial and…
Another project I did for my brother in law’s wedding last weekend were ties and bowties for all the nephews in the two families. Remember Lexi from this post? Yep, they got married! Don’t they make a cute couple? For the two littlest boys, Weston and Hudson, I made bowties using Christie over at A Lemon…
I’m pretty sure I’ll never get tired of sewing up kid’s backpack patterns. So when Riley Blake Designs announced their new Tie Dye fabric line and asked if I’d like to make a project with it, it was an easy yes to working with them and Fabric.com to sponsor this post. It had been…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen all of the fun Jo-Ann rainbow linen (officially called multi-stripe) projects popping up all over blogland and Instagram over the past year or so. I was so inspired by the dresses, shirts, and even bags that others shared, that I knew I needed to make…
We’re almost through all of my kids Christmas outfits! Rounding out my girls’ dresses (you can see Lola’s pinafore dress here and Hattie’s peplum dress here), this post is all about the little men in my life. Well, one of them is getting not-so-little, but for now I’m just going to hold on to the…
I don’t always enjoy sewing for holidays (that sounds like the start of a meme), but I had so much fun sewing my girls’ Easter dresses this year! I fully intended to share them both today, but as I was editing photos, I realized I have waaay too many for one post so I’m sharing…
I’m so pleased to welcome one of my favorite bloggers to the Copycat Challenge today, Christie from A Lemon Squeezy Home. I’m pretty sure she’s even nicer in real life than she seems online, and her blog reflects every bit of that! In addition to being a doll, Christie is one of those bloggers that…
If you’ve been around Sew Much Ado for awhile, you may know that I love to sew my kids Christmas outfits and photograph them every year. They love the photographing part especially (not). I only made one item between my boys this year, and used my favorite boy’s vest pattern, the Schoolboy Vest Pattern, for…
As I mentioned in the post about my boys’ Christmas bow ties, these posts are my favorite projects of the year, but if I had to pick a very favorite between the boys and girls outfits, well… Of course the girls always win! I’m sharing all about the DIY girls’ pinafore dresses that I made…
It’s no secret that I’m Team Cricut, and one of the reasons why I love using my Cricut Maker so much is because of the ways I’ve been able to use it with my recent sewing projects. One of the most common questions I get asked is about what types of sewing projects you can…
