My boy Striker has the most charming little friend. She's a little English girl named Primrose. She just celebrated her first birthday, so I made a little spring outfit for her. I used vintage taffeta for the dress, and a polyester knit for the cardigan and knickers. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-36674691-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type...
This was a pretty unique project. Katie found a dress at Anthropologie that had some embroidery on the bodice that she loved. So I took the top half of the dress and added a lace skirt and sleeves. Katie's must-have detail was a sash with a big bow on the back which was made out of the bottom half of the original dress....
This is a custom dress I made for Makell. I used a gorgeous vintage chiffon. The dress has a boat neckline, half sleeves, a gathered skirt, and a braided sash. I love how feminine and delicate the dress is. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-36674691-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:'...

It was everyone's first time other than my husband. There...
I found a big sack of pegs in my garage, so I slapped a peg board up on the wall to hold all of my threads. I found some 1 x 4 scraps to make the little shelf for my buttons. It's simple and functional and I like the way it looks. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-36674691-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() {...
My boy has extremely sensitive skin, so I always try to keep him covered as much as possible. I thought a vintage-style swimsuit to cover his back and belly would be just the thing this summer. I took him with me to the fabric store to get the lycra. I was looking for navy and grey stripes, but when he saw this print...
This is a project that has taken me months, and I'm so proud to finally have it finished. I built the bookcases for my husband's giant book collection. I built two 4' wide cases, and two 2' wide cases. I built the narrow ones back in December in our garage when it was freezing. I would work for about 20 minutes before I...
