Give away central

I finally decided to start a page on Facebook. I thought I might get too busy trying to manage Etsy, this blog, my family blog and a Facebook page, but thought I would give it a try. I'll do my best! Once I hit 150 fans I'll do a give away!

I'm also having a giveaway once I sell 100 Sleep Sacks~ I won't give you the exact number, but we're close!!! (in the 90's) The 100 th person will receive 50% off, and a fan on Facebook, or follower here will randomly be chosen to receive a free pre made Sleep Sack of their choice... and no worries, I have 22 cut out and ready to sew- I just need to find the time to do it!


I booked this week off for some home renovations~ my sewing room is under construction. We decided to switch the girls room and sewing/exercise room around, and rip out the old (1958) built in closet that took up an entire wall, and was over 2 feet wide. Now the girls should have plenty of space in their bedroom to put some of their toys. My 4 yr old insisted that her favorite color is pink, so we're leaning toward a pink/brown room for them... I'm thinking maybe using pink jack as the curtains/bed skirts, and using it in their quilts. I haven't had the opportunity to make them a cutesy room yet since we started renovating our home 3.5 yrs ago. The end is in sight now! Hopefully we finish mudding and painting in the next 2 weeks or so. My sewing stuff is now in 3 different rooms in my house~ not a good thing since it's only 1650 sq foot 3 bedroom house. I'm sure we'll survive- I just hope I don't get too frustrated trying to find fabric, zippers, the pattern... and the scissors! ~already can't find my tape measure :(
Anyway, I hope you are all well, and be sure to check out my Facebook page here.

Soccer Sleep Sack

Round About Orchid

One of the new fabrics already sold in the form of an Sleep Sack. I have enough for another one, and will be posting a listing on Etsy soon.

Long Sleeve Sleep Sack modeled

For those of you who are interested in seeing what a Long Sleeve Sleep Sack looks like on a child, I had my 2.5 year old try one on. She managed to stay still for a few shots; I'll share one with you. If you have any questions, feel free to email!

Tote Bag

Yay! Something different! This is the tote bag I mae for my MIL for Christmas. She is returning to work part time in the new year~ after almost 30 years as a stay at home Wife/Mom~ and i thought she might need a nice bag to carry her lunch and other items to and from. She like it, so BONUS! :)

I didn't have a pattern- once you've made a few, Tote bags are pretty basic. Since I don't like the look of visible seams~ (yes even serged on the inside of a bag) I knew I wanted to line it. It is a larger size- I never measured it, so I'm not sure how big. I interfaced the lining with a medium weight for added stiffness. The outer fabric is a Home Dec, so it has some stability already. The straps are also interfaced, and are long enough to carry on the shoulder or in the hands (for lack of better wording). I added a pocket to the interior since I thought it might come in handy.

A few more long sleeve Sleep Sacks

These 2 sleep sacks were made with long sleeves. The Animal print has a single layer of flannel, and the Plain Jane is the double layer fabric lined with flannel.

This fabric was picked out by the customer, and I ended up liking it so much, I ordered more! Such a fun print.
