Flip This Pattern: June Competitor!

Flip This Pattern: June Competitor!

Wednesday, June 25, 2014

I'm sure you have probably heard of the year long sewing series "Flip This Pattern" that sisters, Ashley & Emily, of Frances Suzanne hosted last year. I sewed along a few times in the past year and it was so much fun! I wished I had time to play along each month!

Well, they have brought the series back for a second year! And they invited me to join in the fun as a competitor!! I was so thrilled and I'm kind of in love with the outcome, you'll have to head over to their blog to see the whole thing. :) And then on Friday the 27th, voting opens to the public and you get to choose your favorite Charlie flip. I'm hoping you might just choose mine ;)

You can see my previous flips here, here, and here.

Kid Pants With Piped Pockets

Kid Pants With Piped Pockets

Thursday, August 1, 2013

This post was originally published at Once Upon A Sewing Machine.

Having both a little boy and a little girl I can vouch for the fact that sewing for girls just seems to have more hype than sewing for boys. There are so many adorable sewing patterns out there for girls, but I'm seeing more and more for boys as well! And when it comes to basic patterns for boys, the customization options are endless, giving you LOTS of variety on just a simple basic pattern. Take this tee for example. Just a tiny bit of embellishment, and you have a custom tee that looks like it could come from a designer kids clothing company. Believe me, I saw one at Zara kids that gave me the inspiration to create that shirt. While I can't afford the clothing from the designer brands, I CAN do my best to recreate them for a lot less money. And it's SO FUN!!!

Image Only Interview on Caila Made

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

Hi guys!

I am so so SO excited to be guest posting over at Caila Made today!

The minute I stumbled onto Caila's blog, it was love at first sight. Her writing is so genuine and down to earth. Her sewing is AMAZING and her sweet little models are just so adorable! And when I reached out to her for a little blogging advice I found out she is so sweet and kind in real life too! I want to be just like her when I grow up :)

Along with four other lovely ladies and myself, Caila is conducting an Image-Only Interview all week long, with a line of description if necessary.

Hop on over and see what questions she has been asking and the creative ways everyone is answering them with a photo!

Here is a sneak peek at my photos. Head *HERE* to read the interview!

Until tomorrow!

New Series & A Guest Post!!

New Series & A Guest Post!!

Saturday, June 29, 2013

Happy Saturday, friends!!

First of all let me tell you that I am so excited to be sharing a guest post over at Homemade Ginger today!! Megan is hosting a fun series this summer called Summer Share Saturday, so head over there and check out her lovely blog and send her some love!

And in other exciting news... I am starting my own little Saturday series, if you want to call it that. :) I will be sharing a little re-cap every week of all the things that I am thankful for, a count-your-blessings kind of thing. Sometimes I get so caught up in the "busy" I forget to live in the moment and enjoy all the little things that I have been so blessed with. I want to do this as a reminder to myself of all that I have to praise God for. And I'll be sharing some photos here and there too, of happenings around our little home and things our little family has been up to.
