With the advent of spring, my crafting focus always turns to fun Easter crafts. These sweet felt bunny pants treat bags will delight children of all ages, and they are a quick and easy sewing project, even for beginners. Let me show you how it’s done! I always have my eyes peeled for crafting inspiration….

Using your Cricut to cut fabric
A couple of y’all have asked me lately how I made the little t-shirt to go with Charlotte’s Pebbles Skirt (don’t forget to check out the free tutorial I posted for the skirt earlier this week!). This was actually my first time using my Cricut to cut fabric, and I was so excited with how…
The Pebbles Skirt: My first-ever sewing tutorial!
I posted pictures of this little skirt I put together for Miss Charlotte a few weeks back, one that is just spunky enough to have her name written all over it. I call it her Pebbles skirt, because every time she wears it, the first thing that comes to mind are the animal-print duds from the…
Recent projects
Once again, my sewing machine is earning her keep! (It just dawned on me I need a name for her…anyone have any suggestions?) Here are a couple of projects I’ve completed recently. The overalls, a gift for a friend’s sweet baby girl born in January, are yet another of my projects using the Jackie Clark Baby Overalls pattern. I had…
Scary cute
Bless Jack’s little heart. He has been so patient as he’s watched me churn out countless outfits for his baby sisters, never once acting the least bit jealous. Sweet boy. Any sewer who has boys will attest to the fact that it is flat hard to come up with sewing projects for little guys. When…
Fun stuff
It was a good day. The sun shone (although it was really cold for this time of year, but I’m not about to get picky!), the kiddos were in great spirits (all three of them at once…a true miracle!), and I managed some time at my sewing table to finish my latest project for Charlotte,…
My sweethearts
Sew, Mama, Sew! is one of the sites I just couldn’t live without, and although I’ve been an avid reader of their blog for some time now, I’ve never participated in the forums. Until now! They are hosting a little Valentine’s Day contest to create a special handmade Valentine using the tutorial here, and the…
Stylin’ sisters
My sewing machine is certainly earning its keep this week! I finished two new outfits for my girls in the last couple of days. I am calling them their Pebbles outfits, because the zebra print makes me think of the Flintstones. 🙂 I drafted the pattern for Charlotte’s skirt completely on my own: a first…
Some mid-week crafty goodness
So with all of the Christmas hustle and bustle, I never got around to sharing this picture of the tunic/dress I made for myself just before Thanksgiving. This is, by far, my proudest sewing accomplishment yet! I used the Olivia Dress pattern by Serendipity Studios for this, and I was very pleased with how easily…
Christmas duds
I am so proud of the new overalls I finished for Cecily while the older two were at MDO today! I have been coveting this adorable penguin fabric since they put it out at Hobby Lobby a while back, and I was so excited to plan matching outfits for the girls using it. (I have…
