Black & Grey Buffalo Plaid Campfire Set

I think I have mentioned before that I LOVE testing George + Ginger patterns with Kristi because she really wants her patterns and collections to be special, perfect and her vision. This Campfire set is part of the 2019 Fall Collection. You can also get this pattern by its self, the collection in clouds this amazing set, (Full romper, capri, and stand alone pants, along with a jumper) The October dress, which comes in 3 lengths, and a beautiful extra top, and it is so EXTRA! I am gonna add the line drawings, there are so many options and looks that can be created with this collection. I am so excited about it.

What I mad and am showing you here is the full pant romper, with the optional tie back, I did make a jumper too that I will show in a bit more detail tomorrow.

This fabric is from Blended Thread Fabrics, they are based out of Canada, but totally worth the extra cost. It was a dream to sew with, a great structure and heavy weight. There is only 6 yards of it left in stock while I am writing this and I am totally debating ordering it to make the October dress in cloak version...

I really love the details on the straps and the tie back of this style, the pockets. Wide leg, I left these a little longer than you need to, I did not shorten for my height because I wanted them on the floor, instead of grazing it. I am so excited and proud of how this one turned out. I want to wear it everywhere all the time, now I just need Hawaii's fall to finally start so I can!

Cute Bears of the Military - Army Edition

This request came in while I was working on my April Month of the Military Child plans. The timing was perfect! If you have been following me for long you know that I am a Military brat and that April is a special month for me. It is the month of the Military Child and I try to do some fun things through the month and all sales for the month in the past have been donated to Our Military Kids . This year I have some new ideas and plans, more about that later though 😁 I decided this would be a great time to do a step by step style blog post about the creation of these amazing bears. These bears are made from the uniforms of your loved one, they can be made from other articles of clothing as well of course. These 3 were made from one uniform, top and pants, that I took about 5 hours to take apart, all of the pockets, zippers, patches, velcro has to come off to make the fabric as flat as possible and get the most useable space. There are a lot of pieces, and no two will look exactly ali

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

Graduation Gown Turned Dress

Hey y’all! As some of you may know or remember I graduated back in May and I got to keep my gown along with my cap, since I’m homeschooled. Now the next person in my family to graduate still has a couple years to go, and he will probably need a size or two up to accommodate for height so I turned my gown into a dress! I got to work a week or so after I graduated and started sketching what I wanted to turn my gown into. Should I do separates? Should I do a dress? What style of dress? Ultimately I decided upon this amazing dress, now I did have to adjust the skirt because my initial sketch had a long maxi style dress but I simply adore the shorter skirt. And that back is stunning! The whole dress with the exception of the ribbon for the straps, came from the gown. Had to take a couple pictures with my cap, so happy I had all my friends sign it! Now this next picture has a bit of a story behind it: So the day I took pics of my dress, I took my black belt pictures as well. While we
