This is a bandana skirt I made, I was inspired by the
bandana shorts on
sew, mama, sew. I made the shorts, I just don't have a picture of it here. I made the skirt in 5 minutes - so easy.
However, I made the mistake of not washing the bandanas before sewing them. I didn't figure them for regular fabric, so when I washed the shorts the sewing got pulled from the shrinking. I can fix it, it's just a pain. I haven't yet washed the skirt because Jenee' hasn't worn it yet.
This is a mini tutorial on how I made it. Not that you need one.
It fits Jenee' who wears from 6-12 months size. It is about 18-19" wide (I roughly measured) and 8-9" long. I did french seams on the side seams.
French seams: sew 1/4" seam with right sides OUT. then turn wrong sides out and sew 3/8" seam. Iron seams to the side. Whatever you do make sure the second seam line is larger than the first. I love it because it encases raw edges.
Then hem to desired length. I did about 1-1 1/2" and then make a casing at the waistband 1" or however wide to fit your elastic. Put your elastic through with a safety pin and put it on your little one. Figure out where it needs to be. Take it off, sew the elastic down. Tada!
There is a
twirly skirt tutorial that's way cooler you can use. I was planning on using it, but I wanted something extremely simple!
Tada.
this is from the same site. there were quite a few desks/storage pieces that are just lovely. I love those spindly legs. I usually like hearty, manly, sturdy legs on my furniture (nothing ornate, just rough and tough, with a great presence), but I just love this danish vintage goodies!
Isn't this beautiful and inviting! It's so cheery. I could definitely see myself sitting there sketching out designs and ideas, even writing letters and notes to people I love. I think I could just sit there and gaze into the flowers until I'm summoned to wipe a face/bum.
This is in the sneak peak of the hammerpress studio. This is their business card bar! I want to have this so I can bake, cook, craft, sketch, sew, etc etc. My brother and I are going to be designing and building our own furniture line, and this layering of the different woods was already in several of our designs when I stumbled upon this beauty! Yay! It's gorgeous! I guess I'll just have to wait to build a special one just for me!
Here's one of the dresses I've made from Amy Butler's new book, that I just love! I've made another, I just don't have any pictures of Nee' Nee' wearing it. I'll have her wear it this week so just you wait!
Rude, I know for mentioning things and not even having pictures to match. Why read a blog without pictures, seriously?

Here's my little tulip. I didn't get a great photo shoot - I didn't think about it until 5 minutes before we left for church. If I didn't get them right away she wouldn't be neat and tidy after church! The top gave me troubles and I had to re-cut them out and used precious fabric. 
This is my own pattern, though it was inspired by Katiedid (she is amazing). The top is bunchy - it'd fit best if she had boozies, but I don't want her to have any yet. I made it shorter because she's crawling and gets so mad when she gets caught up on her skirts. It's a wrap dress, with ties on the inside and button closure on the front. I even got her bow to stay in her hair by an idea I read here. Elmer's glue. The karo syrup and honey just left a mess with the bow lost somewhere. 
cute little toes!
