Upcycled Tshirt Blooms and also a listing for a single bloom
A trio of lovely little blossoms that will add a bit of springtime cheer to anything you pin them on.
Wear one – or all three – on the lapel of your shirt, jacket or sweater, pin them to a hat or bag, a pillow, lampshade …. the possibilities are nearly endless!
These would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift (it’s coming up!). :) And if you live locally, they’d be nice for Easter, too.
Did you like the little skirt that I made for Emma a few days ago?
I used a free pattern download that I found over on the Oliver + S blog. Oliver + S is a darling company that designs and sells children’s clothing patterns. Their patterns are just adorable, and wonderful to work with!
This pattern is quick and simple to make (it doesn’t even have a rolled hem). In fact, it is so very quick and simple that I didn’t even take any pictures as I worked on it. Seriously, this projects goes by quickly. :)
I love that the material has a vintage look to it. :) And so wish that I could get wallpaper in that design!
hello again. :)
the shop has a new site. you can now begin to find me on Etsy! it will take me a bit to get all the listings transferred over, so you can still find me on BigCartel for a while.
there are a few reasons for the switch, but the main one is that hopefully the shop will get a bit more exposure there.
we’ll see how it goes! in the meantime, thank you so much for being along with us. :)
With my energy back now that I’m in my second trimester, I went through the closet in Emma’s room/sewing room and organized the fabric. I had only had it in boxes marked “fabric” and now they are organized and labeled by type. There is something about having it all labeled that gives me a peaceful feeling. :)
the last post was on August 7th!
My, how the time has flown.
Not that we haven’t been busy or anything. :) To catch you up to speed we have moved, found out that our family of 3 is becoming 4 (it was a BIG surprise, too! we’re excited, but it took a little while to get over the shock), Emma and I went out to California for a week, and my Gramma just passed away.
Even though we moved back in August I am only just now getting my project area organized. Sewing has taken a bit of a back seat to the other bits of life, but now the machine is getting pulled out and I am getting ready to get back to work.
See you again soon. :)
Well, hello there. It sure has been a while! It’s about time to update this blog, don’t you think?
My husband’s brother got married on the 1st, and my sewing machine and personal skill were requisitioned to join the wedding prep task force.
I made 13 of these table toppers for the rehearsal dinner,
(the letters are made up of I Corinthians 13:4-8 embroidered in pink floss on cream duponi silk)
