Before I start the onslaught of baby projects and sweet Bohden stories (and before fall sneaks past me), I thought I'd share a super easy infinity scarf tutorial. My girly girl loves her some accessories, especially scarves. Ok, any and all accessories will do- haha!And this pom pom trimmed …

30 minute nightgown
When my sweet niece asked me to make her a 'nightgown,' I thought it'd be a fun project. Then she explained what she was hoping for- essentially two squares sewn together with armholes and a neck opening. Thirty minutes later- done! I love projects like this. To make one, cut out two …
sundressing
Every year I love the sundress series at Melly Sews (see previous years here, here and here). This year has to be my favorite, though, because Melissa is the new author of the book, "Sundressing" and, for the series, I got a sneak peak of the book and a chance to try out one of the patterns. This …
DIY unicorn dolls
Piper seems to have caught Unicorn Fever in the last few months (she’s requested “unicorn and glitter” as the theme for her next bedroom- ha!), so naturally this magical mystical creature was the theme of her half birthday party this year {Sidenote- we aren't starting a 'half birthday' thing. We …
DIY kids apron
If you walk into my parents' kitchen on any given Saturday morning while we are there (and many evenings), you can find Piper standing on a stool next to my dad, making something yummy. Her favorite thing to make with her Papa is sourdough waffles, but she would cook or bake with him anytime. And …
back in the sewing game
Remember when I told y’all about the Sew What Club? Well, I fell in love with the Annecy pattern the day after I got it and I had big plans to make one (or ten) immediately. But then we lost the internet for six weeks (oh Saipan), and THEN my house was wrecked by a typhoon and I didn’t have a sewing …
45+ things to make for baby
So I feel a little funny putting this post together. Even though we're pretty open about wanting to adopt (aka- I won't shut about it- haha!), I feel weird telling you about the amount of time I spend searching the internet for baby related tutorials when I don't have a baby. Or the promise of a …
the best fairy princess kit
So many of my high maintenance projects begin with the thought, "Piper would love that!" And also, for those kinds of projects, there is always glitter involved (or in this case, sequins). At least I'm predictable. When I saw this fabulous dress up cape at Anthropologie, it was love at first …
cannes coverup & tunic pattern
Remember last month when I shared about my dear friend Kelly’s Sew What Pattern Club genius? Well I am over the moon to be this month’s featured designer. Of course, with our current all-seasons-are-beach-weather set up, a swim suit coverup was my natural pattern choice. Luckily, for those of …
the sew what club!
Friends, I'm so excited for today! Because today my dear friend and ohmygoodness talented sewist, Kelly from Sewing In No Mans Land, is launching the Sew What Pattern Club! Coming from a girl who easily gets stuck in a sewing rut, but buys fabric like it's her job (discovering fabric stores that …
