how to sew a simple girl’s dress
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 …

I’m sure this will shock you, but we don’t wear pants very often in Saipan. Ok, don’t-wear-very-often is an exaggeration. During Typhoon Vongfong we lounged around in sweatpants and long sleeves, but because we could, not because we had to. So pretty much never. However, my little clotheshorse …

the pinwheel dress for vintage may
This post is part of the Vintage May series at Craftiness is Not Optional and Skirt as Top. I adore Jess from Craftiness is Not Optional (the first time we worked together was oh so looooong ago when we both reached 1000 Google Followers- haha!). I also love the blog Skirt As Top and its lovely …
kojo tutorial- layers of lace dress
Piper Jane loves the book Kiki and Coco in Paris (ok, actually, she loves all things Paris- thankyouverymuch Madeline). Every time we read it (multiple times each day), Pi asks, "I can have a dress like Coco?" The dress Coco wears is layers of lace with a bow on one shoulder, pillowcase dress …
