Sister Bonding #FABsessed

It is a rare occasion when my sister and I get to match and in something I am excited to wear lol. I think these outfits and this photoshoot was both of our favorites.

I had a certain look in mind and let me tell you it is hard to find an existing pattern for petal pushers, so I had so hack and mash things to make both us us denim petal pushers. This fabric is all from The Fab Clique the denim was a dream to work with! I was a little nervous, I have never made pants with no real stretch before, but they turned out amazing!

I really wanted a dolman style crop for both of us, I did make my sisters a little longer so she can wear it longer. I did heres 2 sided as well so she can choose which side to wear on the front. This is the grey and white skulls and hearts also from the The Fab Clique. I want to describe this cotton lycra but I am not sure how to adequately explain how soft it is. You have to try it! and maybe you will become #FABsessed as well

We had so much fun, while we may be 7 years apart she is my buddy. She loves to help me design and create things, she is the best model always willing to strike a pose for me no matter what I ask her to wear. So the opportunity to match and do a shoot just the two of us, well I think the pictures show how much we love each other and how much we enjoyed it.

Month of the Military Child GIVEAWAY!!!

This month I decided to create a little gift collection of sorts that you can win by sharing the pinned giveaway post on my Facebook page and commenting on it. Super easy to enter, but a great package I think. I am going to go into a bit more detail below with each of the 4 items in the package. This is the bear, you will be able to choose from the fabric swatches below which you would like it made out of. No two bears will be exactly alike because of the fabric that is being used, some from actual uniforms, and some that is just printed, because of the design there will be some differences. (These bears are listed on the website for sale as well if you wanted to order others) Next we have a super soft toddler/lap size blanket, you can choose either purple, blue, or black. The saying is the same on all 3, 'I am resilient, I am resolute, I am relentless, I am a Military Child', all of them are the same color on the back with tossed dandelions, the official flower of the Militar...

My love affair with Candy Castle

I have been thinking about what really set me on this path with confidence and conviction; The Peppermint Swirl . My mom saw this dress and really wanted it for my sister, the pattern was purchased in January and there it sat until march with me avoiding it. I admit I was intimidated. It looked so complicated! The above picture is the one she finally talked me into making, if you are not familiar with this dress you will not realize I completely screwed it up, it is supposed to have a swirl not ruffle look. Using my moms Facebook at the time I nervously posted in in Candy Castles group, the response was not what I expected. People LOVED it, they wanted to know how I did it... What?! This mistake started a crazy trend for a hot minute. Something else happened too though, while I had cut it wrong, I made it! I made a really cool dress that Kaylee loved and total strangers were trying to copy! ME! Alyssa Cotter at 12 did that! I kept...

George + Ginger Rival Dress

This is the pattern of the month for February over at George + Ginger Which means its on sale! I am a little later in posting this than I had originally planned but still lots of time to run over and pick it up if you love it as much as I do. This style I am wearing is a sleeveless hooded option. There is also a long, short and 3/4 sleeve, hood, neckband, or cowl neck. All feature the cool pockets on the sides. This is the pocket detail, normally the line would be cleaner and the top and folded over, but I used a couple of panels I had as the pockets so I served the top instead. This Fabric is from Skylove Creations I love the style of this one, that you can use different colors and styles of fabrics to get so many different looks, make it a more fancy, or causal, perfect for work, or like this one Comic Con!
