It's been awhile since I've done a sewing project, and as weird as it sounds, I've been craving it! If you've been around our blog for any amount of time, you know that I only share SIMPLE, easy sewing tutorials... because I'm somewhat of a beginner myself. No shame!

Lined Drawstring Backpack Tutorial
Every time we go to the park, or for a hike, or to the zoo (or really anything away from home), my kids always ask me to carry their stuff. They find beautiful rocks that they value deeply but don't want to carry. Or their water bottle is too heavy, so naturally they want me to carry it. I could go on and on. Anyway! I've been planning on making each of the girls a lined drawstring backpack ... [ Read More ]

I thought it would be ... [ Read More ]

Vintage Hankie Garland
Over the years, I've picked up cute vintage hankies at thrift stores, yard sales, and antique stores (when they're cheap). I didn't ever consider myself a 'collector' of vintage hankies, but I've accumulated quite a few over the years. So it seemed like a great time to make a hankie garland! I always knew I would make something with them eventually, because it's beautiful fabric! And the ... [ Read More ]

DIY Drool Bibs for Baby or Toddler
If you have (or have ever had) a baby, you know that there’s a difference between an eating bib, and a drooling bib. Eating bibs are larger and often stained in a variety of bright colors (HELLO carrot puree). But today, we’re going to discuss drool bibs. Those smaller bibs that baby/toddler wears all day so that their shirt isn’t soaking wet. You know, the ones that usually have annoying sayings ... [ Read More ]
Macrame Fringe Trim Pillow Tutorial
We’ve been slowly finishing projects and making updates to our Master Bedroom over the past few months, and I’m loving how it’s coming together!

The making of the baby quilt!
If you’re new to our blog (or haven’t checked in for awhile)… first of all, WE’RE PREGNANT! And I decided I wanted to make a baby quilt for the little tyke.

Fabric started flooding in, and it was the highlight of my week to check ... [ Read More ]
