This last two weeks has been a whirlwind. Mostly an Everything Bag Sewing whirlwind, but with some next-year-possibilities thrown in the mix. Oh and we were away for the weekend (a church retreat in Estes Park!). Anyhow, the Ballerina Dress tutorial was backburner-ed for a bit there. Good news- now it’s done! To make one […]
DIY anthropologie knock off flutter curtains
This isn’t a surprise to you, but my “Repurposed” entry for So You Think You Can Sew Week 2 is the flutter curtains (they’re a knock off of Anthropologie’s Tender Falls Shower Curtain). I’ll be honest, every time I do an Anthropologie knock off, I feel like I should start my tutorial with a Big […]
DIY glitter heels
Are you crawling out from your Christmas coma yet? We have been {slowly} coming back to normal life- putting away presents, packing away the massive wrapping station that had set up shop in our basement, eating egg whites and leafy greens to balance the carb-overload of the last week… We’ve even been prepping for New […]
DIY very fluffy porcupine plushie
My poor son. He has spent more hours in JoAnn’s and Fancy Tiger (our local fabric shop) than any little boy should ever have to endure. And he knows his way around an Anthropologie, that one. It’s a little dangerous to take a three-year-old boy into Anthro, what with the teetering stacks of beautifully patterned […]
anthropologie knock off vintage lace bracelet
The prettiness from Monday and yesterday continues today with a little anthro-inspired bracelet tutorial. In a word, lovely. The lace-and-pearls embroidered on vintage lace is just loveliness. The idea came from Anthropologie (shocker, right?). For Jord’s birthday, I was wanting to give her a present that was lightweight (read- easily packed), and just pretty. The […]
The Grove Necklace (an anthropologie knock off)
Well hello there fellow big ol’ necklace lovers! Of course, I couldn’t show you my new and very fabulous Anthropologie Knock Off necklace without giving you the directions to make one too! I’m nice like that. 🙂 I’ve dubbed this one The Grove Necklace… that has a nice, forrest-y ring to it, don’t you agree? […]
J Crew inspired ‘orange crush’ ruffle dress
It has been seersucker heaven around here. And dress heaven too. I have a pile of almost-done projects to share with y’all, most with red seersucker as the main event. Oh, and the aforementioned in-the-works J Crew knock off (for me, remember?) is a blue seersucker number. Fourth of July here we come. You’ll be […]
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 […]
beachcomber necklace- an anthropologie inspired beauty
After proclaiming my steadfast love for sundresses yesterday, today is the perfect day to showcase The Perfect Sundress Companion- a chunky statement necklace. Better yet, today’s Beachcomber Necklace pairs equally well with capri’s and a t-shirt (great for those sundress naysayers out there). We saw this gorgeousness at Anthropologie and fell in lo-ove with the necklace […]
west elm inspired ruffle pillow tutorial
We are beyond thrilled that Larissa from mmmcrafts is here today with a fabulous West Elm ruffle pillow knock off tutorial! Hi, folks! I’m Larissa Holland of mmmcrafts and I like to make stuff and drink coffee. A lot. I’m a graphic designer turned home-schooling mom, and being creative really helps* to keep me sane. I have […]
