Farmer’s Market Dress

August 8, 2016 By Taylor 2 Comments

farmers market dressLast week I shared Bee’s Farmers Market Birthday Party HERE. It turned out super cute and it was so much fun! I wanted to have everything in one post but I was getting to picture happy haha, so I am sharing her birthday outfit today… The Farmer’s Market Dress!

farmers market dressThis dress was so simple. I was going to make a structured red and white gingham dress but with the messy food and the water slide I figured I better keep it a little more casual. I found a shirt on Zulily that I liked for myself but all that they had was XXL… it was cheap so I bought it anyway and figured I could make it work for someone. I mean, how perfect is the little saying right?! It came in and it was way too big so I knew I had to repurpose it for Bee. (HERE is the link to the shirt, I think it’s sold out but HERE is a very similar one.)

Farmer's Market DressFarmer's Market DressFarmer's Market DressI wanted to keep the little details on the shirt legible so I had to find a simple pattern that showed it off. I ended up using Dana’s Warhol Dress Pattern. It is so cute and it’s a free pattern, yay! I pretty much stuck to the pattern except I did lengthen it a little so that the design looked centered. Then I used the red and white gingham fabric that I bought for the original dress to do the tie. The pattern calls for another knit fabric for the tie, but the woven worked perfectly too! I already have another Warhol Dress in the works because it took less than an hour, which in my book is an excellent pattern!

It’s super soft and since Im the worlds biggest graphic tee fan, it was perfect! You can check out the full party HERE.

Cute Little Girl Clothing… found on Amazon!

July 26, 2016 By Taylor 4 Comments

cute little girls clothing

I didn’t really mean for it to happen but when I had a girl two years ago, this blog kind of morphed into toddler clothing central haha! I LOVE to make clothes for Bee, the patterns and fabrics that are available these days are out of control! My “to-sew” list is a mile long and I love it! However, I don’t have a magic clock where I can freeze time and sew for hours upon hours for my girl so a good portion of her wardrobe is purchased. Don’t get me wrong, handmade clothing has a very special place in my heart but between the time it takes, the fact that toddlers are super messy and the rate in which they grow, sometimes… store-bought play clothes are the answer!

I also have another obsession… Amazon Prime, it’s kind of a sickness haha! I just can’t drag three kids to the store sometimes. This is not even a sponsored post, I just love Amazon. One day… I was doing my usual Amazon afternoon shopping for things like dog food and baby wipes on my phone and I came across an adorable little girl dress, I was like… “wait what?!” I don’t know why it never occurred to me that Amazon would have cute little girl clothing but it just didn’t. I clicked over to check it out and then I was sucked into a vortex of adorable dresses, tops and rompers. I bought Bee a ton of cute stuff and it was delivered to my house a few days later, woo hoo!

I was telling my girlfriends about all the cute stuff I found the other day on a playdate and they told me I have to share this news with the world haha! Bee was actually sporting one of her new “amazon dresses”. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites (most of which we own) for all of you fellow phone shopping moms out there haha! Just click the picture for a direct link, some affiliate links included. Most of these are all from a store on Amazon called Fiream and almost everything I have found there is under $15! I did notice that this brand runs a little “narrow” for younger girls so you might want to size up. Happy Shopping!

I’m obsessed with both of these for a first day of school outfit!

I bought Bee this little house dress for her birthday and it’s even cuter in person… it’s a perfect school dress because its not too frilly so she can run and play. There are literally twelve options like the house and boat so I am going to have to get some more of these!

As I was gathering the pics for this post I came across this dress and clearly had to get Bee this one too!

Swan Lake Fabric Tees

June 30, 2016 By Taylor Leave a Comment

Swan Lake FabricToday I have gone all sorts of crazy and decided to jump on the other side of the camera with my little mini model :) I had the opportunity to try out a new line of fabric from Birch Fabrics and Fabricworm… Swan Lake is here and I’m in love! Swan Lake is the debut collection from husband and wife design team Patrick and Andrea Patton. Swan Lake was inspired by the stillness of forest pond. Graceful swans make their entry for a graceful finale to a perfect evening at Swan Lake. Completed in a palette of calming hues, you’ll find Swan Lake fits into your home or nursery with no fuss at all. They best part is you can get Swan Lake in quilt weight poplin, knit, and double gauze.

IMG_5748I love love love the shade of this green so I choose “Bevy Pond” in the knit substrate. As usual, the knit is amazing! The quality of Birch knit never disappoints, if you are new at sewing with knits I highly recommend it because it sews more like a quilting cotton and isn’t slippery at all. The thickness is perfect and feels super rich.

Swan Lake FabricI love a good v-neck and I have had the Union St. Tee on my to-sew list for a while now. I love this pattern, easy and quick but looks very professional!

For her pattern I used the Vintage V-neck… also quick and easy, just how I like it :) We both love our new summer tees, Bee loves animals and loves that it has “birdie-birdies” all over it! We went to lunch after taking these photos and we got lots of “awwwwws” for our twinning shirts haha!

30 Minute Sundress with Forest Floor Fabrics

June 29, 2016 By Taylor 21 Comments

30 minute sundressI’m so excited to be taking part in another one of Bonnie Christine’s blog tours. It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Bonnie’s work and her latest collection, Forest Floor for art Gallery Fabric, might just be my new favorite! Inspired by her experience of living in the forest, Bonnie creates a whimsical world where dreams of a magical place come to life.  Forest Floor hopes to ignite the exploration of forest curiosities, and take you on an adventure filled with green and oak flora and delicate berry tinted fauna that inhabits the wondrous depths of the mountains.

I fell in love with this print, Wild Posy Flora,  specifically and I just knew that Bee had to have a dress made from this amazing fabric.

forest floor fabricI was looking for a simple, summery maxi dress that looked effortless to compliment the gorgeous fabric. I thought about drafting something myself but then I came across this Border Fabric Sundress from Lil Blue Boo and it was perfect! It’s even a free tutorial with no pattern pieces, seriously couldn’t be easier. I obviously didn’t use border fabric so I changed the name to the 30 minute sundress because it literally took me 30 minutes, from start to finish people!! I even had time to add a little Taylor Made tag :)

http://www.lilblueboo.com/2009/06/border-fabric-sundress-tutorial.htmlI love making intricate patterns but sometimes I want the fabric to just speak for itself. I used another fabric from the collection, Fierfly Beam, for the top band and straps.

Then, I had to add some lace trim to the bottom just to make it extra ethereal.
