What you need: Print the Large Number Cards on card stock Print the Number Chain markers on card stock Be sure to work that Michael's & Jo-Ann Fabrics App coupons, … [Continue reading...]

It all starts off with a little girl wanting a costume, a mommy wanting to sew and a pattern on sale. I like the less skimpy dresses for my 7.5 year old, especially when one is wearing them for Halloween plus it has all the spring flowers. I wanted to make this dress last a […]

We needed some strapless wings for a wedding. Most online tutorials wanted the hanger to be inserted into the “bodice” you are going to use. Well my little R1 was wearing a flower girl dress. So I did my best. We had some typical cardboard type angel wings and a cut white child hanger. Bend […]
