Don't forget to leave a way for me to get in touch.

The giveaway closes at 5pm PST on May 10

I will ship internationally.

Have fun!

As for the regulars...
I'm going to bombard you with some girl dresses.

These were made with a Rae pattern
and although it comes with loads of variations...

I just couldn't stop with the flutter sleeves.

These ones are made with a variety of

Japanese import fabrics.

Oh how they have moves.

This colourful scooter one is Echino.

My devotion is high.

I am taking these to my first craft fair.

and we shall see what becomes of them.

They all have a fully lined bodice.

A little scoop or V cut out at the neck.

They are super fun to play in,

as was evidenced by how much action

they saw on our trip.

Comfy and pretty?

Yum.

Now if only I could achieve comfy and pretty

in high heels for me,

I would be way foxier!

  



Organized Chaos

I love Japanese import fabric.

They do such lovely things with linen.

And, they always seem to leave the right

amount of space between the images.

I also love it when the translation doesn't quite make it.

In this case, I won't be using this fabric

to teach the shorties how to spell 'forest'.

Instead, I'll teach them how to put away toys.

I added a label for me too.

Because, frankly what could be more fun than

dumping all the toys out of the bags?

Then who knows what should be peaking through the window?

This awesome tutorial from

Make it Perfect assumes the bags are full.

Though my cup is usually half full,

my bags are usually empty.

And the contents of my bags are mostly

strewn everywhere.

Or in the dogs intestines.
