Nursing mamas of the world, rejoice! I have successfully hacked the Lady Skater Dress to accommodate breastfeeding. I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally be able to wear a DRESS! Seriously, this is the first time in three years I think I’ve worn one. All I have to say about this pattern […]

Sew Selfish: Jalie Nursing Tunic in Gray
Normally I don’t mind yanking up my shirt and letting my babies nurse, but in the colder months, that cool breeze blowing on exposed skin doesn’t feel so great. Plus, it’s just nice to have some tops that let you discreetly breastfeed for certain occasions. Jalie 3132 - Nursing and Regular Tees & Tunics is […]
Sew Selfish: Knee-Length, Ponte Knit Pencil Skirt
Finally, FINALLY I am sewing for myself on a semi-regular basis again! I am so happy with how this skirt turned out. I purchased this awesome ponte knit from Yellow Bird several months ago while I was pregnant, but I’ve been hanging onto it ever since. I finally decided to make one of these skirts […]
My First Wiksten Tova Tunic
Ahhh, the Wiksten Tova. Am I the last person in the sewing/crafting blogosphere to sew one of these? I’m pretty sure I am. Truth is that I’ve been hoarding this pattern for quite a while now. Right after I had Ezra, my bust measurement put me in an XL. An XL! I am a small […]

What We Wore: City Creek Shopping
Harper and I decided to brave the downtown parking (which was really no issue at all, and only $3) on Wednesday and check out the new City Creek shopping center. I have to say, it kind of feels like Salt Lake City is a REAL city now. Despite the fact that the shopping center has […]
Aidez Moi
Ahhh, my first sweater. And what buttery goodness it is… Being the perfectionist that I am, I’m quick to point out that it has several “design features” (read: mistakes), but that’s what learning is all about, no? I am just happy to finish this project since I started it back in February. Overall, this was […]
