Just to clarify, she’s not actually BatGirl…she’s a BAT that happens to be a girl. Get it? I just can’t help but sing the Batman theme song every time I see her in her costume. For those of you who helped me figure out how to whip this costume up last week on Instagram a […]

DIY Elsa Dress from Disney’s Frozen
Do you have any idea how many times a day that lyric repeats itself in my brain? I know someone who does & according to her, when she introduces herself to complete strangers mind you, SHE “is the REAL Elsa!” Let me preface this tutorial by saying that when it comes to posting the directions […]
Minions, Mummies & Mashed Cauliflower Soup
As of Wednesday afternoon, the day before Halloween mind you, this is what the girl’s minion costumes consisted of… YIKES! I’m a terrible procrastinator but luckily work well under pressure. From 4pm-8pm I cranked out those costumes, by the end I probably was on the verge of ‘mean mommy’, I know there was at […]
Foxy Girl
The other day Sophie asked me why I don’t sew her any dresses? UGH! ((twist knife)) I guess Sam is just so much more vocal about her interest in fashion & dress design so we end up having these little sewing pow-wows in my sewing room & I make her things. That and the fact […]
How to make a too big t-shirt smaller, cuter & something you’ll actually wear
P brought me home a shirt from his radio show that I was so excited to wear except for one small detail… It was so big it could show up on doppler radar. I had a choice, stick it in the overstuffed ‘maybe I could wear it as a nightgown’ drawer OR makeover! (I know, a […]

Children’s Tiered Knit Maxi Skirt Tutorial
It’s the most wonderful time, of the yearrrr…. It’s Skirt Week! Woohoo! I can’t believe this is my 3rd year creating a tutorial for the gals over at Crafterhours. I also can’t believe I used the word ‘gals’. What am I Paula Deen? Anyway, this year it wasn’t too hard to figure out what type […]
My Little Pony Rainbow Dash Dress with a Crazy Tulle Hooded Mane
AKA: Possibly the most ridiculous piece of attire I have ever made… I actually started making this dress for Sophie Monster because she loves Rainbow Dash but once she saw the CRAZY hooded mane she wanted nothing to do with it, luckily her fashion saavy sister had no problem jumping in. The dress is made […]
Big Bow Dress
Video tutorial with Sam: Child’s flower bridal veil
What a week people. Seriously, WHAT A WEEK. Sophie missed school Monday because she fell in the shower that morning, had a giant bruise right on her rump & refused to put a diaper on. Can you blame her? Then Wednesday we were supposed to have this massive snowstorm, school was canceled, & the girls […]
