When life gives you lemons

Make a cute little dress out of it! This fabric was screaming spring/summer to me and I needed a little cheering up after the rainy cold days we've been having here(well there was one day in the 80s-just one). I used this new fabric from Monaluna and the Bubble Dress pattern from Oliver and S. The pattern was pretty easy to follow and I got it done in a day-plus I even prewashed the fabric which anyone that's ever talked to me knows that is something I rarely used to do.

I also made a cute pair of big butt baby pants for E with the new Helicopter fabric, and I'd post a pic but he grabbed them instantly and was wearing them within minutes. They look like the most comfortable pants ever and I plan on making him a couple more pairs. You can go to Rae's website to get your own pdf copy of the pattern HERE.

Don't worry for those of you not interested in kids clothes-I also made a duvet cover that I'm pretty excited about that I'll show next week.

Have a great weekend-hope you stay out of the rainy weather(if you're getting it too), but if you have to go out you should take a look at this cute rain boot liners that were showcased on Etsy this week-love them! Plus the designer has a soft spot in my heart since she went to AI-Seattle too. SLUGS CAN BE FOUND HERE

Newest Additions to the Store

These lovelies arrived today...I already have a million ideas for each-not good! Plus an extra bonus the helicopters and trains are both organic cotton-yipee!

Enjoy the eye candy....

I'm also placing another Premier Prints order...many more chevrons to come-I can't get enough of them. And I'll be posting pics of a project I'm pretty excited about utilizing some of the Shades of Grey fabric from the lovely Daisy Janie(oh yeah and Jan is announcing her newest line shortly-I'm jumping up and down...well maybe just envisioning myself jumping up and down, but I'm sure I'll love it)

I also have been neglecting my obligation to participate in the sewing for kids week....but I'm hoping to get started today and make up for it-augghhhhh. Check the button on the sidebar to take a look.

In Love

I am in love with Monaluna's upcoming line Marin-I can't wait to get the whole line in my hands...take a look! Plus it's organic cotton too.

Pea Pod Baby Sling

I decided that I was in desperate need of a sling to carry around Ethan since he has decided that he only wants to be held by me(hoping this phase passes soon). I took a look at the Pea Pod Sling Pattern and got busy with some of the Monaluna fabric as well as the Cloud 9 Lines-I love that both are organic! This sling was a snap and I love how it turned out, I haven't had a chance to try it out with Ethan yet since he's been sick the past few days, but am very excited about it.

It took about 2 yards of each fabric and you can add a pocket and keyring, but since I'll be using it when Justin is with me, I figured I didn't really need those components. Here is the finished product, sorry for the poor quality of pics and the lack of showing how it will be used-I hope to have those pics up later this weekend.
