Good morning! Due to our road trip and other vital things (like sewing clothes for myself), there's still no sewing for K happening, but it occurred to me that she's been wearing this halter dress I made several years ago a lot lately and that I've never posted it here. If you saw my nani IRO post last week, you might have noticed a very similar muslin, and it was inspired in part by this dress. The pattern is from this book, and I vaguely remember sewing this before she started …

Monday Outfit on Tuesday: Refashioning
Today, I have for you a refashion instead of an outfit sewn from scratch. Perhaps you've been noticing a prominent downtick in my production of K-sized clothing? There's a war raging. Well, not really, but sometimes it feels like a fierce battle to get her dressed in the mornings. My daughter is like me and loves clothes. Loooooooooooves. And like me, she's very particular about the types of clothing she'll allow on her body. Trouble is, her style and my style are usually vastly divergent …
Monday Outfit: Frozen Take Two
Good morning! I've been dawdling on this second Frozen dress (see the first one here), but this weekend, I finally completed it. I'm sad to report that it wasn't a stunning success. I used the same pattern pieces as the first one, and this time, I cut into the fabrics specified by K -- all cheap stuff from JoAnn's. One of the things I did differently was to add rhinestones to the bodice like so: That's me, pulling away the plastic film after ironing on the sparkles, happy to see that I …
Willow + Co Aster Cardigan
And we're back with the light grey walls. I'm a big fan of Vanessa's style and sewing. I'm an even bigger fan of her photography - she captures the light masterfully and her daughter is gorgeous and seems so sweet. I had the luxury of selecting a variety of patterns from the Willow & Co collection, and I definitely wanted to give the Aster Cardigan designed by Vanessa herself a whirl. As I'd hoped, it came together in a New York minute (actually more like a Seattle minute, which is …
Willow & Co Glamping Tour: The Sophisticated Robin Hood Girl + Giveaway [Closed]
Today's is a good one, friends. Vanessa of the wonderful LBG Studio graciously included me in the happenin' Willow & Co Glamping Tour that's been aflutter in the sewing interwebs, and it's my turn to showcase their collection. And what a collection! I wanted very much to sew everything, but of course, I need to sleep. So I selected the very beautifully designed Fawn & Lily dress for today (I have another sewn project from the collection for tomorrow that's not officially part of …
