I was excited to try to make this top: The supplies I used was a lace appliqué and a very light, thin cotton gauze. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find lace like the top above. The piece I found was smaller, but thought […]
We aren’t really big on gifts in our house, but every year I TRY (try, being the operative word here) to give hubby some pictures for his office. I take a few pictures of the kids, frame them up in […]
It’s that time of year again…time to sew Anya some swimsuits! The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday. Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This […]
This week, I am up over at Gracious Threads (oops, guess it is next week!) for her Embellish is for Boys series. She is showing some great options for making boy clothes more fun! I am showing how to use vinyl […]
