Today is a good day. Today I finally begin my Christmas present to me! I’m going to make a classy plaid skirt that will *hopefully* be done in time for Christmas. This will be a gathered skirt tutorial. I’ve been wanting to make something plaid for the winter season. In the back of my mind I kept thinking about this lovely skirt made by Gina Michelle and decided that it would be a classy winter look using some plaid fabric.
My one year old is exploring the wonderful world of food. Not only does he enjoy eating the food, but he likes to squish it in his fingers, run it through his hair, fling it from his spork, push it off his tray, and occasionally, put it behind his back. Needless to say, mealtime is a very messy though enjoyable experience.
My son has a ton of bibs from when he was younger, but they are really meant for babies and don’t really stop the food from covering his clothes. So I thought, DIY bibs, or more specifically, DIY toddler bibs! We recently upgraded our towels so I decided to upcycle an old towel into a toddler bib just the right size for my little man.

I recently took an old sweater, cut it up, and repurposed it into a super cute skirt in my Upcycle Sweater to Skirt Tutorial. Today, we’re going to cut up some more of that sweater and make a fun little slouchy beanie hat perfect for the upcoming cold weather. Read on for my Upcycle Sweater into Beanie Hat Tutorial!

Hello! It’s been a hot summer this year, and I have been living in dresses (which I have to admit is one of my favorite parts of summer!) I’ve been thinking about adding a new dress to my summer wardrobe and finally got some time to make it happen. So today we will be making a nice, comfortable striped summer dress perfect for hot and lazy August evenings (my favorite weather, in fact!). This dress will have a v-neckline in the front and back, an elastic waistband, and very useful front pockets. We will first make our pattern using an old dress as a guide, and then our striped dress.

My husband snuck this photo of me getting ready. He’s the best. 🙂
T-shirt dresses are one of my favorite things because they are extremely comfortable and quick to get dressed in. Today, we’re going to make a t-shirt dress, but jazz it up a bit with some lace trimming. This will keep the comfort factor, but allow me to wear it dressed up to fancier events. This dress will have short sleeves, a scooped neckline, and inseam pockets. Read along for my DIY fancy t-shirt dress tutorial …
