Measuring Basics
Measuring may seem basic and it is, if you know where you're supposed to measure. My patterns are drafted using the ASTM standards for a child's age/size and measure accordingly. When measuring, it's best to do so over snug clothing like a camisole and underpants or a tank top and leggings. If you measure… Continue reading Measuring Basics
Inspiration: Pocketful of Sunshine
Pocketful of Sunshine can be purchased here. My daughter has decided she's too old for sailor dresses. That is such a shame because she's always had one in her closet, which is why I wanted to design one. Nothing beats a sailor dress for instant vintage style. I had a few different ideas kicking around… Continue reading Inspiration: Pocketful of Sunshine

Duchess and Hare Blog Tour: Day 4
I am loving all of these dresses and rompers that have been sewn up for the blog tour!

This Who's Got the Button (buy… Continue reading Duchess and Hare Blog Tour: Day 4

Neva Couture sewed up TWO Petit Four dresses(buy here) for her daughters and I am in love with how they coordinate.
