Swim Week: Cabana Swim Bottoms from Peek A Boo Patterns

Swim Week: Cabana Swim Bottoms from Peek A Boo Patterns

Swim Week is still going strong, and we are showing off the super versatile Cabana Bottoms from our affiliate Peek a Boo Patterns.  The great thing about this pattern, is that you can pair the bottoms with any swim top you like (I feel like the bottoms of two piece suits wear out faster than the tops).  This pattern comes in size 3m-12y and includes basic bottoms, mini ruffle bottoms, skirted bottoms, and a dance/swim skirt.

Halloween Extravaganza Day 3: The Wonderful World of Disney

Halloween Extravaganza Day 3: The Wonderful World of Disney

Disney Costumes are always popular with kids - they know the movies, they know the characters, they want to be that princess... or scampering mouse.  The great thing with these movies, is that characters often have more than one memorable costume - sure there is that ball gown that you can find in every costume shop, but with a little imagination and ingenuity; you cans till capture your child's favorite movie characters and not look exactly the same as 20 other kids trick or treating in your neighborhood.

Today we'll show you a few of our Disney inspired creations, and there will be plenty more coming as the week goes on!  Here are Carrie and Nicole to share Cinderella in Rags and Guss Guss, Ariel on land, and Briar Rose.

Calling All Kids: Blog Tour

Calling All Kids: Blog Tour

I was so flipping excited when I got the e-mail from Alida asking if I was willing to sew for this year's Calling All Kids Series.  I jumped up and down shouting YESSSSSSSSS!  I love the idea of making clothing that our kids will LOVE - that showcase their personalities, and don't try to conform to what the stores think a 'boy' or 'girl' should wear.  Don't get me wrong - I love pink on my girls, and blue on my boys, but they like such a variety of things... so why not offer them the world and let them pick their favorites?
