Why hellooooo! (Love me some Seinfeld). I’m not sure how I feel about blogging or a return to it, but I can’t handle not blogging items sewn by people I admire. So, here we are, the lovely True Bias’s Colfax pattern. It is simple and lovely and I wear it on the weekly.
Oh bedtime…that most blissful of times. Soak the kids in the tub, letting the warm water calm their bodies and soothe away any troubles from the day. Then gently wrap them in towels to cuddle on the couch and read a story or two before tucking them in, kissing foreheads and chubby cheeks, letting them drift off to sleep. Ha. Hahahaha. Riiight…
Theme sewing doesn’t typically happen around here. Not because my girls wouldn’t want some pink dresses on Valentine’s Day or whatnot, but I’m usually not quite that on top of things. But I signed up to tour around with Willow & Co and sew the Antalya Dress, and I bought this cheery red white and blue ginghamy type fabric over a year ago in the red tag section of Jo Anns, and what d’ya know, we have a perfectly festive Memorial Day dress for the parades this weekend.
Hi there… I’ve been on a little hiatus, but get the details on this mustard skater dress over at Imagine Gnats today!

The newest pattern from Filles a Maman is here and now available in her shop! I tested the Clemence Shorts a few weeks ago, putting my name in the testing hat on a whim. I’ve tested for Mel before, and she is such a sweetheart. I loved how it was set up too, we could sign up for different jobs,

Dear Conner,
Yesterday was your birthday. You came down the stairs to a busy house and when we turned to exclaim ‘Happy Birthday!’ you were stumbling around like a hot mess and desperate for a drink of water. Daddy got it for you, and before I could express the thought that maybe you were sick (a classmate of yours had been throwing up the night before) you threw up all over the landing.
