Piper loves to look through my fabric. I don't have a ton here in Saipan, so it's a short exercise, but it always (always!) ends in a request for a dress (or a stuffed unicorn) using whichever fabric she loves most that particular day. Now, these dresses-and-unicorns hardly ever come to …

seaside stripes dress tutorial
I absolutely love dresses... and I love the sundress series at Melly Sews (and, just to add to the list of loves, I adore Melissa- did you guys know she was my roomie at SNAP? Love that girl)! I'm so excited to share this Seaside Stripes dress tutorial as part of the sundress series …
sunshine poured out maxi dress tutorial
I love the color yellow. I think it could even be called the happiest color. Just making this dress made me feel like I was working with sunshine. And as much as I’m sure everyone else could say the same thing, I think I got the best color for Color My Summer. With a baby due in October, I’m …

Hey all! Happy weekend! Just thought we'd publish our Sun Shades tutorial over here as well (we shared it at Craftiness is Not Optional during the Sincerest Form of Flattery). Our inspiration for this little stripe-y number was Anthropologie's Sun Shades dress... the sunny yellow stripes, the …
strapless blue dress tutorial
Iced tea with limeade. Chicken salad. Dinner on the patio. The marks of summer. And this sundress (a knock-off of the strapless tie dress from the GAP) fits right on that list. It's sweet and simple and easy to wear. As I mentioned previously, I love this dress and am happy to share the how-to …
