The bike shorts pattern is finished and ready for download! It’s been over two years since my original Easy Kids Shorts pattern and I do a few things differently now.

wardrobe refashion: t-shirt to bike shorts

By On August 23, 2011 · 4 Comments

My daughter loves wearing dresses. She also loves to climb tall jungle gyms and roll around in the grass with her feet in the air. She understands the concept of modesty, but she’s too busy running, jumping and playing to be worried about such things right now. I get it. I want [...]

finished: a whole bunch of holes

By On March 27, 2011 · 4 Comments

I’m really excited to finish off a large portion of the big to-do pile, although it doesn’t make for exciting blog material, that’s for sure. How on earth my family manages to put so many holes in our clothes I’ll never know.

the little engine that could : season three

By On March 22, 2011 · 2 Comments

I know I’ve complained about this before, but why do manufacturers make train, car and dinosaur shirts so gender specific? My daughter loves all three and she loves red, pink and purple. I hit the jackpot a few years ago when I found a white, new with tags, gender neutral train shirt [...]

wardrobe refashion: another t-shirt

By On June 22, 2010 · 5 Comments

I have not abandoned my dream of many refashioned t-shirts. On a recent 99 cent thrifting spree I found my favorite style t-shirt in my size. Luckily the color didn’t look that great on me, so I took it apart to make a master pattern.

wardrobe refashion: the first of many t-shirts

By On March 16, 2010 · 2 Comments

You know you’re getting old when the phrase, “They don’t make them like they used to…” creeps into your conversations. But seriously, can someone explain to me how my Gap t-shirts from college are still going strong almost 20 years later, but t-shirts from the past few years are falling apart?

wardrobe refashion: lollipop shirt

By On March 5, 2010 · 2 Comments

My daughter was absolutely devastated that her lollipop shirt had gotten too small. (Yes, devastated—three-year-old drama is so… dramatic!) So I did what any sewing mama would do: appliqué.

I used heat-n-bond and reinforced it with a zig zag stitch. My only mistake was leaving the extra heavy duty [...]

adding long sleeves to a t-shirt

By On February 25, 2010 · 4 Comments

I was putting away laundry in my daughter’s dresser and found her preschool t-shirt. I can’t remember the last time it was warm enough to wear short sleeves. I don’t think it’s even been worn once. I decided to add some long sleeves so she can wear it before she outgrows it. [...]

i have this little sister lola…

By On November 10, 2009 · 2 Comments

Actually, I have this little “niece” in Florida. She just turned eight and I know she used to like Charlie and Lola when she was younger. We’ve just recently discovered Charlie and Lola. I checked out some paperbacks from the library, but my daughter’s favorite is this pop-up book from her “Aunt Lisa.”

wardrobe refashion: t-shirt toddler dress

By On June 26, 2009 · 3 Comments

I’ve got way too many pictures for this little refashion, especially because it was just a practice project. I bought this shirt because I liked the embroidery on the front and back. You’ve gotta love fabric that comes already embellished!

It’s loosely based on this Simplicity for Kids pattern. I say loosely [...]
