Liberty Love : A Boyish Sixteen Patch Quilt

January 20, 2015

Remember this quilt I made for Layla around this time last year? Well its one of my most favorite quilts. So simple, but so beautiful. Wallace is quickly getting too big for all the quilts I made for him before he was born, so I’ve started growing his collection with a quilt like Layla’s, only...

Sketchbook Shirts : Liberty + Chambray

January 16, 2015

I know I told you I would have this post up yesterday, but the weather was super dreary on Wednesday, so getting any good pictures would have been next to impossible. I hope waiting an extra day is worth it! I haven’t been doing much garment sewing lately, and I think that’s because my sewing...

Absolutely adorable, those shirts are just wonderful. Thanks for including a closeup of the first print. From afar it reads almost as a floral ditsy print but it’s actually more of a blocky micro cheater quilt. Your handsome fella is looking awfully sharp in those new shirts!ReplyCancel

  Thank you so much! It really is a fun print. The boxes in the print take some unexpected twists and turns, and it really keeps your eyes moving over the fabric.ReplyCancel

So cute! I’ve haven’t sewn for babies, but I’ve thought that doing something so detailed as a buttoned shirt on that scale is probably harder than doing a larger version. Very impressive!ReplyCancel

  Thank you! I don’t know if its harder! I’m wanting to make some shirts for myself, but I thought making a males shirt, even a tiny one, would be good to tackle before attempting a curvier one for a woman. Plus I knew Oliver + S would teach me something valuable, and I do felt I was able to better grasp some techniques.ReplyCancel

  Thank you, Emily!!! You are the sweetest. I’m so glad the Checkmate print worked for the shirt. I knew if you sent the fabric to me early I would have to drop everything and use them! :) I’m so glad you did, though. Can’t wait to see the new prints!ReplyCancel

Quilted Crib Sheets

January 13, 2015

Desperation can sometimes lead to nasty results. We may throw caution to the wind, and make compromises to gain a little ground. Then again, sometimes it works out well. I’m happy to say that my latest “desperate” project was actually a raving success. Well, sort of. Wallace has gotten used to being in our bed...

Liberty + Chambray Sleepsack

May 7, 2014

Have you seen this Lua Sleepsack Ashley made? As soon as I laid eyes on it, I knew my baby would need one. So I pulled out two of my go to fabrics, Liberty and Robert Kaufman chambray, purchased the pattern, and got to work. What a fantastic pattern this is! Seriously, its super well...

Aviary Floor Quilt

May 6, 2014

I think its safe to say I’m nesting. I wake up tired, but get going anyway because I have a four year old who will stand there and tap on me until I’m up. Shortly after getting up, I’m tired and in need of rest. Then something happens in the evenings and I kick into...
