Tippy Toe's Sundress Tutorial

One of my popular tutorials is now an easily downloadable PDF. The Tippy Toe's Sundress. I love this dress because it's so easy to make, yet it comes out looking like you got it at a boutique.

You can literally whip one out in an hour -- complete with ruffled hem!

It's a quick and easy birthday gift.  You could even whip up a patriotic one before the fireworks tomorrow night. 

You can easily make a dress from infant size up to girls size 6 from 1 yd of fabric. For bigger girls up to size 14/16, you will need up to 2 yds of fabric for optimal "twirly-ness."

Just click on the picture to download the pattern.  Enjoy!!

Infant Car Seat Tutorial is Up

I got the car seat cover tutorial up just now. I would have done it sooner, but we have a Sony camera and the stupid little adapter for the memory stick was MIA since last night until I finally figured out where I had hidden from my children, lol. It's up on the Freebies listed to the left.

My husband has been Europe the last week and he came home today so we could finally see Underdog. We had to wait to see it because Underdog was my husband's absolute favorite cartoon as a kid and I couldn't take the kids and not him, lol. Underdog is really cute, I'd say it's more for kids maybe 5 and older, my 3 yr old loved it but was a little bored. It didn't hold his attention as much as the typical computer animation movies do. My almost 8 yr old loved it and she and I both laughed a lot through the movie. Really cute movie! And guess what? In the previews, they are coming out with an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, it looks cute too.

Got a new tutorial already in the works involving a pin cushion.

New tutorial coming tonight - Baby Car Seat Cover

I've got a new tutorial I'm putting up tonight for a baby sewing project. It's a quickie little thing, and it's great for mommies who are due with new little babes in the winter.

I had my little boy was born in the month of January, the day before an ice storm, and blankets were a big PITA to tuck around him and made the handle slick when I carried his car seat. A lot of times I carried him in a sling, but when it was just too freakin' cold, I kept him in his car seat as a new baby until we got inside. So I went to find online to find a pattern to make one of those car seat covers that had a big hole for the head and fit with elastic around the car seat and I couldn't find one, so I made up my own for him, and it worked so great, I've decided to share it.

So I've got to tweak a couple of things and then I'll upload it after dinner tonight.
