I'm putting together a little gift for a sweet rainbow baby and this onesie is the perfect finish! I am going to send it with the Rainbow Baby Quilt Pattern I made a few months ago! I made this rainbow baby onesie with a blank onesie and three colors of iron-on vinyl.

Tulle T-shirt Dress Tutorial
There is something about a dress that makes you feel like a princess and this one is a little extra! This tulle t-shirt dress tutorial starts with the Viewfinder Tee, a great basic knit tee! I used ivory tulle and a layer of lining fabric to make the skirt. I just attached it to the bottom of the tee. It's fancy but also super comfortable and easy to slip right on since the bodice is knit fabric! The Viewfinder Tee is a little bit long anyways, but the skirt also weighs it down just a bit, making it very elegant. I'm thinking I will make a few ...Continue Reading
The Easy Summer Dress with Riley Blake Lawn
I designed the Easy Summer Dress to use with my favorite quilting cottons but after making it in lightweight lawn, I'm in love! This dress is fun and fast to make, I usually do them assembly line style for my girls! Now that I have 3 girls, we have a lot of dresses hah! I also love being able to take my girls to the fabric shop and let them pick a fabric to make this dress with. Since it's such an easy pattern to sew, it's fine if they pick a fabric I don't like *cough* character fabric *cough*. They're happy and I get to sew them something ...Continue Reading

little girl’s grid dress!
That is the face of a girl realizing her buttons are KITTY CATS!! Today's dress is the Zig Zag Dress pattern made in a plaid linen grid fabric. I love how preppy the look is (maybe partially due to the fake glasses!) but plaid and pleats always give me preppy vibes! The bodice is curved on this dress giving it a really cute swing. I always love pinning pleats so this one is a fun sew! Other details I love are the elastic sleeves, big buttons and facing on the inside! I made a big matching bow (why not!) and love this outfit! This fabric is ...Continue Reading

Bunny Bonnet Pattern
The only thing cuter than a baby in a bonnet is a baby in a bunny bonnet! This bunny bonnet pattern is an add-on to the Classic Baby Bonnet pattern! You can also find the Classic Bonnet in a bundle with the Pixie Bonnet - all the bonnets! I self-lined this bonnet and used a laced ribbon instead of bias tape. And added the bunny ears of course! The bunny ears are super simple to slip into the side seams while you are sewing so it's still a quick sew! I used a basic linen for this and it was the perfect Easter fabric!
