What we’re reading – my kids favorites
(This post contains affiliate links. Please read our Disclosure Policy for details.) It sounds silly…but sometimes I forget to read to my kids. I mean, we read at least one story every night before bed, but I sometimes forget the magic of reading during the day. On a day when the kids are out of control or it’s tantrum city over here, it seems that pulling out a book and just kinda reading over the chaos, eventually gets everyone to calm down and focus My 5 year old daughter and I have come to love the time when my littlest naps because we’ll grab a blanket and read 5-10 books…

DIY felt bow tutorial with free PDF pattern
Six years ago I found out I was pregnant with my first baby girl. I remember wanting to buy all of the things for baby girl. All of the leggings, rompers (oh the rompers!), bows and headbands. Well, our budget doesn’t allow for all of the things, lol, so I decided to do my best to make it all! I taught myself how to make leggings (you can find that tutorial here) and knotted headbands. I loved the felt flower and bow headbands that became so popular a few years ago and learned that all of those cute Etsy shops that make felt bows, probably use some sort of machine…

Easy DIY Canvas
I love all of the adorable hand scripted canvases and prints that are happening right now. I browse the aisles of Hobby Lobby and want to buy them all. BUT as with most things, I remember our tight budget and think, “I can totally make that!” I’m not an expert at calligraphy, but it is still possible to make a pretty, custom, hand painted canvas without being an amazing artist! We just gave our upstairs bathroom a makeover, and I was in need of some decor as a finishing touch. I made a fun custom canvas by transferring some text I printed off of my home printer. I’ve used…

Friday faves – My favorite places to buy knit fabric
My last post was a tutorial on how to make your own baby leggings, SO I thought it very fitting today to share with you some of my favorite places to buy knit fabric online! I get asked this question often. I love my serger and sew primarily with knits. They are the perfect fabric for all things baby. I love to make stretchy, soft little leggings, swaddles, hats, and headbands. When I started my Etsy shop about 4 years ago, it was a challenge to scour the internet for unique and pretty knit fabric, especially if you didn’t want to pay a fortune. Over the last few years I’ve been…

DIY Baby Leggings Tutorial
(This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my privacy and disclosure statement for more info.) Leggings are a staple for my babies that I can never seem to have enough of. I love making leggings for my littles because they are SO quick and easy and it’s a good excuse to buy fabric online!

So let’s start some simple DIY baby leggings! I bought this beautiful Cloud 9 knit fabric from fabric.com. One of…
