What a Blessing

I thought I should show you one of the projects that I had finished about a month ago, and just been slow sharing it. A good friend of mine just had a beautiful baby girl, and asked for me to make her a blessing dress. This dress is made with white cotton fabric, and accented with lace trim and ribbon. The dress is a traditional length, with a peter pan collar and baby doll sleeves. It is always fun to sew a beautiful dress, so I thought I would share it with you.

And of course, a dress can't go without a bow to match.

Sorry the pictures don't look very professional, I am much better at sewing than I am at photography!! If you are any one is interested in a custom blessing dress, I would love to give you a quote on a price.

Volunteers Needed

I am needing a few volunteers to help me out. I'm finishing up some patterns that I would like to sell, and I need anyone willing to give them a try. Before I start to sell the pattern, I would like to know if it is easy to follow. I am giving the pattern to those who are willing to help me, for free. The only thing you will need to buy is the fabric and extra supplies. Here are the patterns below, these are quick pictures, so if you have any questions please let me know.

The Big Bag

This bag is a really simple, perfect for beginners.

Skirt with 3 layers

This is also a really simple pattern that is good for beginners. The pattern is for all sizes, toddler up to adult. The size you see here is for a 9-10 year old.

Skirt with 2 layers

This skirt has a lining in it, to act as a slip. It is accented with the ribbon for extra fun. The size here is for an adult, but can also be made for any size.

A multi pocket apron

This apron has as 3 layers of multiple pockets. Great for the multi-tasker. This was a really fun apron to sew.

The divider Bag
This bag is an average size, with a divider in the middle. It is a sturdy bag to help carry it all.




The Jogger/Stroller Blanket
This is really one of my favorites. We recently moved to a colder climate, and I love to be able to go for walks. I hate taking a blanket and having it fall under the wheels of my jogger. So I decided that I needed a blanket that the straps of the jogger would fit through. The back of the blanket has the correct placement of holes for the straps of joggers, car seats, and strollers to fit through. The bottom of the blanket has a cubby for a childs feet, and then it wraps around them, and straps with a button or velcro. This blanket comes in 2 sizes. Baby and toddler. The size you see here is for toddler, and I can fit my 2 and 4 year old inside.

If you are interested in helping me out, you can get ahold of me a couple ways. Leave a comment below, email me, or contact me through my etsy button. I will be needing a couple people for each pattern, and encourage any sewing skill levels. Thank you for your help!

Nie Recovery

Please go check out this site. A friend of one of my really good friends was in a plane crash with her husband and they are in critical condition. It touches my heart to see the support they have, and what deserving people they are. I couldn't stop thinking about them, and their children, so I thought I should share it with all of you. Thanks!!!

Homemade Baby Wipes

These are homemade baby wipes. My friend had made these and posted them on her blog. What a fun idea to add the splash of color with ribbon and flowers.


They are very simple to make and cheap. You need a 3 quart container that has a lid, bounty paper towels, baby oil, baby soap and water. Cut the paper towel roll in half. Remove the cardboard from the center. Put the roll into your container. Mix 1 Tbs. baby oil, 1 tsp. baby soap, and 2 Cups water together. Pour the mixture over the paper towels and you have wipes. They actually work very well. I decided to fancy my container up a little bit because I was bored yesterday and I glued the recipe to the back so that I always know where it is.

-Thanks a ton, Andi!!!
