Wendy was freezing so this is the only picture she's in! She ran back inside right after I snapped this. Well, after a couple of weeks of trying to get the girls to go fabric shopping with me, Wendy finally told me to "just not do dresses this year." Kids are so fun. All the … Continue reading My Girls’ Easter Dresses: Simplicity 8851
Sewing has been so weird for me lately and it has just felt like I fail and then turn around to fail again. Frankly, I was getting pretty tired of this! But I made each of my girls a dress and they turned out so well! I'm hoping I can get a win like this … Continue reading LLK Galena: Dresses for my Girls
I made my girls some mini Marlo cardigans. Now, before you get too excited, True Bias does not, as of yet, have a mini version of the Marlo pattern. Unfortunately. I checked first thing when I had the thought to make slouchy cardigans for the girls. If they had the pattern in mini, my job … Continue reading Mini Marlos
I apologize for bringing it back 'round to Halloween when it is clearly time to move on. But if you happen to still have candy in your bucket, feel free to pull some out while we focus on costumes for just one more post. Sorrrrry! So Wendy is a very lucky girl because she has … Continue reading McCalls 8251: Girl’s Dress (and Witch Costume)
A few years ago (??? seriously can't remember how long ago it was!) I stopped at Nordstrom Rack Last Chance on a trip to Phoenix. I've talked about this place before but it's where Nordstrom Rack sends a bunch of their stuff that they don't sell in store to sell it here but cheaper. It's … Continue reading Easter Outfits for the Girls: Raleigh Tops and Ballerina Skirts
To be completely honest, I don't love Halloween. I don't hate it. I know it's beloved American holiday that's not going anywhere. And I do enjoy the chocolate. So it's not all bad. I just don't love the scary/spooky aspect. That's not really my flavor. So I'm very grateful for my girls' version of Halloween … Continue reading Waterfall Raglans: Halloween Butterfly Edition
There is something about an impending baby that makes you want to clean all the things. We've had some visitors this month so I figured it was as good a time as any to go through the list of areas I've been wanting to dejunk. One of those areas was my fabric stash. I went … Continue reading More Racerback Dresses
Last week I wrote about the Waterfall Raglan I made for me and this week I'll share about the Mini versions I made for my girls! The patterns (adult vs mini) are virtually the exact same, so I'll try not to be too repetitive as I talk about these ones! Hmmm, what should we talk … Continue reading Mini Waterfall Raglans (Chalk+Notch)
Hey I hope everyone had happy holidays and is enjoying the new year! We are just trying to soak up our time together before Ben starts up his next semester. I didn't want to wait too long before sharing a post about the jammies I made us for Christmas! This post is about the PJs … Continue reading Family Jammies Part 1: Classic Zipper PJs from Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop {for the girls}
Hooray for free patterns that turn out to be total successes! Let's be honest, not all free patterns are created equal. Finding one that's totally awesome is...well...totally awesome! This Racerback Dress pattern from Hey June Handmade was a total win for me and is something I know I'm going to make again and again. I … Continue reading Hey June Racerback Dresses: Sewing for the Gals
