We are thrilled to showcase some great Mood fabric along with the Winter Wonderland Patterns. This collection was so fun to design!

pleather star onesie
Refashioning onesies never gets old! I love onesies because they are the one pieces of clothing that is totally baby only. Anyways, I have a few of these “Calvin Klein” onesies. I don’t love the wording on it, so I covered the onesie with a pleather star pattern that covered up the text. I did this way back in November(?) and now in March it finally fits Lena. Had to wait for a cute model to get here to post it. It’s really easy to make this star onesie. I used my AccuQuilt GO! Baby fabric cutter and star cutting die to cut the stars from ...Continue Reading
