Good news! Little BoPeep has found her sheep! Coming up with costumes this year was pretty easy. I had found a little lamb costume last November at Pottery Barn for $22 (originally $69) and quickly snatched it up for the baby I was cooking in my belly. If you ask me, there’s no cuter lamb…
Last year my daughter insisted on being Dora for Halloween. I happily obliged, knowing it would be an easy costume to put together. And then I realized I could make Lincoln a Boots costume and all would be right with the world. Let’s not talk about the fact that when I put Mia in her…
After I found the tutorial for the DIY maxi skirt that I featured last week, I started hunting for more DIY maternity clothing tutorials and got nerdily excited to start making some of my own clothes. I found this top on DIYMaternity.com and loved the mix of solid color and floral print. { source: diymaternity.com }…
We are on a little getaway right now in California, which makes me so happy. Not only do we get to visit friends and family, whom we moved away from 6 months ago, but we get to enjoy 80 degree weather as we are still hurdling our way through our first real winter in Colorado.…
These little felt pouches are super simple and quick to make. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, they could be the perfect way to say “I love you.”
We were headed to the pumpkin patch this weekend and I decided at the last minute that I wanted my daughter to wear something festive. She didn’t own anything orange, black, or fall looking, so I ran to the Dollar Tree and picked up a white tee shirt for $1. Then I created my own…
It was time for me to breathe some life back into this old skirt. I’ve owned it for a couple of years now, and recently decided to pull it out of my closet on one of those days where I felt like I had nothing to wear. After checking out the silhouette, I decided the a-line shape was boring and outdated, and that it definitely needed to be updated to a tulip skirt.
With Halloween sneaking up, I thought I would post some photos of the DIY owl costume that I made for my daughter last year. It was really pretty easy, and it turned out adorable. For inspiration, I pooled together all the owl costume pics I could find (it’s very popular on Pinterest!) and then took…
My little man wearing his Babyville Boutique diaper cover
A while back, I mentioned that JoAnn Fabrics was now carrying a line for DIY cloth diapers and I was super excited about them. I began cloth diapering with my first child around 3 months, and really wanted to start at birth with baby #2. But since babies only wear newborn diapers for 4-12 weeks (depending on the size of your child), I didn’t want to spend money on purchasing some newborn cloth diapers that would barely get worn. I figured I could save some money if I made my own and thought this might be the answer I was looking for.
This weekend I went back to my fashion college roots and refashioned an old shirt that I’ve had hanging in my closet forever. As I chopped off the sleeves, I had visions of creating patterns for paper bag pants and showing off with my straight seams in sewing class (yeah, I was that student). It’s been a long time since I used my sewing machine to fix up my clothing; I generally hate hemming, mending, and sewing clothes. But I have had this H&M shirt for a couple of years now, and I was getting really bored with it so I decided it was time for a change.
