Yes, I said Underwearsz with a SZ. Just like my lil man says it! It occurred to me a few weeks ago that ive really neglected my blog the past year. I've been so busy with custom orders.. it just kinda got pushed to the back, and then forgotten about. I've thought about posting a new times... but what? I've been sewing nothing but customers orders lately.. nothing really new to share.. That

I was going though a pile of DH's old t-shirts he was throwing out for whatever reason (didnt like the way they fit, hole, stain, etc). Normally the ones with holes or stains I cut up and use for cleaning rags. BUT this shirt didnt have anything wrong with it! No holes, no stains. Guess he didnt like the way it fit? Anyhow, I was holding it up wondering what I could do with it when... In walked Q

Eariler in the week I had some interlock knit fabrics arrive. Retro Cars & Oogas in Turquoise. Figured it was the prefect time to start on some summer play clothes for the kids! From the retro cars each got a T-shirt and board shorts / capris. As the weather turns (and stays) warm ill hem up the board shorts / capris into shorts. Now.. to figure out what to make with the Oogas ... hmmm... :)

I have some how managed to get all caught up on orders! Left me with some free time today to sew for my kids. I opened my fabric stash up and asked my 3 yr old what shall we make. Of course he went for the knit giraffes hes been eying and claiming as his. Took me a while to convince him it would make better summer PJ pants then a blankie & get the fabric out of his little hands. They were sooo

This is a custom order I have been working on this week. I am very pleased with the way it came out! I want to add a few of these to my shop this month.. I think these could be one of those 'Grow With Me' versatile staples in a little girls wardrobe. Worn by itself in the summer (or as a swim suit cover). In the cooler months it can be layered with Jeans or Legging under it.. or better yet - Some

What to show off that babies cute lil diaper booty, but not sure what size to order? All you really need in one measurement.. the outer seam. To get this measurement take a pair of your little one pants that fit nicely, lay them flat on a table or floor. Now measure from the waist straight down the outside of the leg to the ankle/hem. See my picture below & Compare with measurements noted below.
