Happy Friday!  Wow, it seems this week has gone by quickly (I guess the long weekend...).  So earlier in the week, I showed you my Market Bag I made for Simple Simon and Co.'s Vintage Crafter's Challenge. It was fun to make, and is a great way to reuse a vintage find. Today I wanted to give ...

These hairbows are easy, sweet, and a great way to use up fabric scraps! I saw this bow on Anthro: It's cute, but it is 7" wide and 5" tall.  Pretty big bow.  I wanted to make a few last minute bows to slip into Charlotte's Easter Basket - somehow our bows are always disappearing.  I ...

So someone clicked the "Suggest a DIY" button(which I was thrilled about!) and asked for a pillowcase dress tutorial.  I have to admit, I'm not crazy about pillowcase dresses.  In fact, I'd never made one{gasp!} - I know.  It's like a staple clothing item for little girls....isn't it even a ...

I just love all the hexagon quilts - they are so gorgeous and intricate.  For some reason at dinner last night the idea popped into my head to make a hexagon hair clip for Charlotte.  It took a little trial and error but here's what I came up with! That is an orange and blue one for Charlotte to ...

Have somewhere to be in an hour? Nothing to wear? No problem - you can whip this baby up in 30 minutes or less.   I've been wanting to make one of these for a while, and I must confess that now that I have made one...well my entire summer wardrobe might consist of these.  This little dress is so ...

Happy Monday!  While browsing around on my new favorite place, Pintrest, I found this painting and fell in love. Isn't that lovely?  I want to be there, greeting the day.  Well, I don't really paint, but you know I love fabric and a challenge.  So I decided to create a pillow for my couch - a ...

Do you ever feel like your loungy clothes are blah or frumpy?  How does that happen? I promise I buy cute p.j.’s – I just really really want to be super comfortable….so I guess I end up in baggy t-shirts and the same black yoga pants.  Not too cute.  SO for my trip to San Diego, I wanted ...

Last week I did this tutorial as a guest post on Just Chic. I thought I would post it here too in case you missed it! A Bouquet for Every Day It's a sweet little bag that will make you feel as though you are carrying a lovely bouquet of roses with you everywhere you go!  I was inspired by this ...

Sewing with Jersey knit is almost as easy as sewing with felt.  You don't have to finish the edges and it drapes beautifully.  It makes the perfect spring scarf. If you buy fabric that is 64 inches wide, you won't even have to piece it. You will need: 2 colors of Jersey knit ...

I use the word room cautiously because it is actually just a corner of what is supposed to be a formal dining room - but it also houses our baby grand.  So far in my crafting life I generally cut things out on the floor.  It's not so good.  My dining room table is usually covered in food or ...
