Emmie decided to draw one of our leather recliners today, and Isaac helped manipulate it in photoshop to turn it into pop-art, and they did an amazing job! (She’s only 11, I am totally in love with how she made it a little stylized, but didn’t lose the essence or perspective of the chair.) Do…
Hello! Today was a brilliant day here in Spain; I got to go to the Royal Tapestry Workshop and see the weavers in action, which was awesome (but alas no pictures allowed.) BUT I do have a rather picture intensive post today; in complete contrast to yesterday’s puppy costume, today I have Emmie’s Witch costume…
Hello from Spain!!! I am on the last leg of our 2 month long trip to the US with a week of Spain, and Istanbul mixed in at the end. The kids are with my mom in the US, so I unfortunately will be missing Halloween with them this year, BUT I did manage to…
I’m doing another guest post today, this time over at Sew Cool for the Tween Scene, and this time it’s an Anthropologie knock off sweatshirt tutorial! I have been doing a lot of sewing lately; I am trying to get ready for a couple of months in the US! (We are headed to Arizona for…
I am so excited to be here today for Operation $0, thank you so much Suzanne for inviting me!!! About 99% of the time, I sew out of my stash rather than buying anything new for a project, since I tend to buy fabric as I find it on sale, rather than waiting to have…
Today is the day that my guest post went live for Frances Suzanne’s year long series “Flip This Pattern”! I know it’s a little after the fact now, but my dress was a 4th of July/patriotic offering that I made before I flew off to the US. I would love it if you would hop…
Hi everyone! I’m really excited to be here today, and I am loving this series! (Who doesn’t love a good pattern remix?) So thanks to Ashley and Emily for inviting me to participate! I really love the look of the Oliver and S Roller Skate Dress, and have been struggling to narrow down which of…
Because I am participating in the Flip this pattern series (in July) I was given a copy of Oliver + s Roller Skate Dress pattern (since that is the pattern of the month in July.) I decided to make a version of the dress that was pretty straight out of the box, so that I could…
Anyone remember back forever ago when I made this dress for Project Run and Play week one? It sure seems like forever ago! I’m finally trying to get my act together and post a tutorial about how I did the beading on the dress. To begin with, I used my own bodice pattern, and drew…
I originally shared this tutorial over at Project Run and Play for my Boy’s Week win, so I thought I would bring it home! Thanks so much for your votes everyone, I am so excited to have won this week for a look I was so excited about! (especially with all the fantastic work I was…
