triangle pants elastic hack
I shared these floral triangle pants on instagram way back when the TRIANGLE PANTS pattern was released, but haven't shared them here yet! I wanted to share them now along with this hack because you can get the Triangle pants in the Pattern Anthology MAKE [BELIEVE] bundle at a really great deal! This deal is only good for two weeks, so snag them now! I used elastic in the triangular side pockets to give this pattern a whole new look. The triangle pockets really stick out if you don't use elastic. Which was the point, I'm a quirky sewer! But ...Continue Reading

Jungle Avenue kid clothes!
I was pretty excited to get a package of fabric from Sara of Sew Sweetness. We've be online buddies for years and I even got to meet her (briefly) at Quilt Market last year. I've always admired Sara's taste in fabric, bags and quilts. She's amazing at what she does! Sara designed a line of fabric for Art Gallery called Jungle Avenue and the fabrics in this post are from it! I use one of the wovens to make a little zippy top. The fabric is called Greenhouse Lane and it is really great quality, it feels different than a normal quilting cotton. ...Continue Reading

Bleach Dipped Chambray Shirt Tutorial
Written by Vivian of Vivileen. Along with grey v-neck tees, chambray shirts are another wardrobe staple of mine. I have four in different weights and different shades of blue, so I thought it would be a fun project to change one up. This is a super simple project to do. All you need is a chambray shirt, a bucket, bleach, and some water. When I thought of this project I imagined my shirt to turn white instead of pink, but I loved the pink so I decided to keep it. I think with a higher concentration of bleach or more ...Continue Reading
DIY oilcloth placemats with Fruttare
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Fruttare, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV I've been hoarding this pretty floral oilcloth for about 6 months now.

When popsicle season started I thought it would be nice to have some wipeable placemats that we can use outside or inside even. Placemats are seriously easy to make, they are a simple rectangle. I ...Continue Reading
