You know the awesome thing about reprints? They give this sudden urge and freedom to stop hoarding the original. Such was the case with my one yard cut of Liberty’s Tresco, now that the print has been added to the Contemporary Classics collection. I tossed around a few ideas at the beginning of the month...
I have had this project planned for so long, I can hardly believe I get to share it with you today! When Deer and Doe came out with the Bruyere shirt I was quite captivated. I didn’t love the tunic length simply because that’s not my personal style, but I envisioned it as a dress,...
Good afternoon! I do hope all of my American friends had a wonderful and safe Independence Day! Ours was relatively quiet and very nice. Today I want to show you the extremely late birthday present I made for Emilee. She has been obsessed with horses since her entrance into the world, so the Mustang fabric...
I’m beyond thrilled to show off today’s dress! I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited about a handmade finish. My sister, Emilee, is my best friend. We understand one another on a level other people don’t want to go. :) We trade off on lunch, shopping, and other things, and I think that’s...

Layla’s dress is awesome and it’s great that she’ll get a couple of years out of it. Maybe after she outgrows it, you can turn it into a skirt. Or a pillow….. :-)
What a great choice for this lovely fabric! Layla looks so pretty in the dress. It’s great that she appreciates your sewing so much!
adorable! I love that print and am scheming about what I might be able to make with it.
