Today I bring you a pattern that isn’t for babies (surprise!). There will definitely be more of those in the future, but I’ve also been sewing some things for myself. This beautiful Ruffle-Sleeve Top is actually a free pattern — and if that doesn’t sell you on it, read on for more gushing. I’m currently … Continue reading Ruffle-Sleeve Top
I never planned for this to become a baby clothing blog, and I don’t *think* it has, but I can’t stop making absurdly cute outfits. Pinafores have had a bit of a resurgence thanks to The Queen’s Gambit. These definitely aren’t Queen’s Gambit pinafores — more like baby Dorothy pinafores. I’m very into it. See? … Continue reading Petite Pinafores
Oh my! These next projects are impossibly cute. I’m obviously still in new mom mode, because the awe of teeny tiny clothes hasn’t worn off just yet. The spit up and sleepless nights? Those have worn off (but she’s worth it). My daughter is only two months old and at the tail end of her … Continue reading Bloomers, Gingham and Bears
I have an addiction. I don’t even know who I am anymore. In the many years leading up to sewing, I often professed my distain for it. It was great for other people, just not for me. I was fine with my knitting, crochet and plethora of other hobbies. I also didn’t really have the … Continue reading Can’t Stop Quilting
This post is a bit different from my usual “patterns”. The more I delve into knitting patterns, the more I realize that my pattern writing is seriously lacking. They help me recall projects, although a more experienced writer would cringe. But I digress… I’d really just like to share some of the new cables I’ve learned … Continue reading Cable Studies
Well, here it is — yet another pillow cover. I couldn’t stand looking at my other IKEA pillow after my last post, so one week later and I have a new cozy pillow to add to my collection. And I mean collection. My double bed is half throw pillows at this point. This cover is … Continue reading Pillow Cover Part II
When I started this project I had no idea how long it would take. For something so simple (it’s really just two squares woven together) it ended up being the most knitting I’ve ever done. I almost feel ready to make a sweater at this point — and I say almost because it isn’t happening … Continue reading Pillow Cover
Well, it’s been quite a while since I last blogged; mostly due to the fact that it’s summer time and I rarely bring out the yarn in the summer. As I was sitting around today spending some quality time with Netflix, as I do (it’s Saturday…), I realized I have so many projects tucked away … Continue reading Big Blanket
My co-worker is pregnant, and we both have Pinterest, so obviously I have been spending most of my free time crocheting cute baby things. Most of them are photo props, because let’s be real: What baby is going to keep a floppy bunny hat on their head for more than five seconds? But the sets … Continue reading Crochet Baby Sets
I’ve had a bit of extra time on my hands, quite literally as this post would suggest, and crocheting a bit more than usual. Luckily excessive crocheting pairs perfectly with binge watching Orange is The New Black. With that I give you this crochet catch all. When I was making this, I wasn’t entirely sure where … Continue reading Crochet Catch All
