The testing for the Inside or Out Pocket Pants is wrapping up. I just have few final touches to make to the pattern. I’m planning to have it ready to release by Monday! I thought I’d show off some of my testers’ pictures. The one above was sewn by Ann, and I love the way…
Our Visit to the State Fair
Remember our Texas State Fair submissions from a few months ago? You can see them here. We got to spend a great day at the fair last week. Charlie, above, and Jamie, below, had a blast pretending to be farmers for the day. “I have five peaches, Momma!” Samantha and Allen enjoyed a few rides. Then…
Inside or Out Pocket Jeans
Still hard at work getting these two new patterns finished up. I sewed up this adorable pair of blue jeans for Jamie using the Inside or Out Pocket Pants pattern in size 4T. I wasn’t entirely happy with the original design of the back pockets and cargo pockets. I didn’t like that it was so…
Our Current Cloth Diaper Stash
I love sharing our cloth diaper love with other moms. This morning when I picked Charlie up from the church nursery, a couple of moms asked me about his diapers, and I shared with them that I sew my own and offered my business card so they could check out my blog for more information…
A Little Preview of The Charlie Tee & Hoodie in Adult Sizes

The Inside or Out Pocket Pants
These have been in the works for some time. I keep leaving them, finding something that I need to change and setting them aside for later. I’ve finally fallen in love with them, and now they’re just about ready for testing. You can see the main pockets on the two pairs above. You can choose…
Upcycled Big Brother Fan Shirts
Our two oldest boys, Allen and Sean, both play football, and we love to go out to their games as a family to watch and cheer them on! We usually just buy one or two team shirts for the grown-ups because with a big family, t-shirt costs add up really quickly. This year, though, everyone…
Guest Stocking at The Apple Orchard
I’m guesting at The Apple Orchard tomorrow! I have five outfits that stock tomorrow night at 8:00 p. m. eastern. Here’s a little peek:
Tags! And a Few Updates
Look what came in the mail yesterday! I’ve been waiting as patiently as possible for these to arrive from Fancyweaver in Hong Kong. They did such a beautiful job with them. I’ll have some of these listed in my store later today in case you want to grab some to sew onto the things that…
