sewing 101: guide to winter fabrics
This post "Guide to Winter Fabrics" is sponsored by Mood. MoodFabric.com is an excellent resource for any home sewer! We are thrilled to showcase some great Mood fabric along with the Winter Wonderland Patterns. This collection was so fun to design! We were in cozy/warm/sit-by-the-fire-and-read mode when we designed it and had fun winter fabrics on the mind. Fall and winter are my favorite times to sew because the fabric is so thick and cozy! But buying fabric for winter clothing can be daunting at first, especially if you're in a ...Continue Reading
floral trucker hat DIY – custom hat template
Customize your own trucker hat with fabric! This floral trucker hat DIY will show you how with a template to download! I love the look of trucker hats, especially in the summer! But they are a little plain, so this hat is an amped up version! Since you can use any fabric, it's a great way to showcase a favorite print! I got new glasses!

I've been searching for the perfect frame forever and I ...Continue Reading

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

I can't think of too many things more fun and exciting than sewing for a tiny babe that you've never met. 1. ruched baby bloomers 2. ...Continue Reading
pattern hack: jumbo hedgehog pillow
I hacked my own pattern to create an extra large version of the little happy hedgehog. After making a little doll to sit in her crib, I knew the baby would need just one more toy in there. The hedgehog is my favorite toy pattern that I made over a year ago. I even shared a post about the process of making the pattern just right. It is still one of my favorites to sew up. There's another post about hedgehogs right here. I had a bunch of extra polka dot fabric so I used that. It matches the back of the triangle quilt and Lena LOVES to stare at ...Continue Reading
triangle chandelier baby mobile
I made this mobile before the triangle quilt, but the triangle quilt was actually the inspiration for it. Does that make sense? Maybe I made them simultaneously. I chose the colors for the quilt from paint chips at the hardware store. I love the paint section for color combinations. Then, I used the swatches to buy fabric for the quilt. And cut up the paint chips into triangles to mimic the triangles that would eventually be on the quilt. I used black, white, and three shades of pink, just like in the quilt. This project is super easy, but ...Continue Reading
