So at our house there wereContinue reading “The Quarantine Skirt”

Lace Skirt to Trevi Top Refashion
In my last post I promised a full review on how I refashioned a lace skirt into the Trevi Top. First of all, here’s the skirt I started with. It’s lace (crocheted maybe?) and very pretty, but not super flattering to my figure, not long enough, and not really me as is. So of courseContinue reading “Lace Skirt to Trevi Top Refashion”

Summer Pajamas
This week I decided to make summer pajamas for some of my kids. Two of my older boys decided they didn’t need Mom to sew them a new pair of “fun” summer pajamas, but the other 5 were interested. I had ordered some fun fabric panels from Peekaboo Pattern Shop with summer pajamas in mind. Continue reading “Summer Pajamas”
