More Laura Jane Sewing

The Laura Jane Dress has quickly become my favorite pattern to sew, and YOURS too!!

 

This little pattern is flying out of the Pattern Shop. And what's not to love? It's easy to sew, looks completely adorable, and comes in 12 sizes...perfect for all ages of little girls!

 

I've sewn up a few more myself in the past few weeks for my baby, and for others. Here's a couple of more sewing ideas for you with this dress.

 

Simple and sweet. A perfect  little navy blue dress with a monogram. Great on its own, or even better with boots and leggings for winter.

 

 

It's a modest dress, but simply adorable.

 

A friend of ours welcomed an adorable baby girl into their family last week. She needed some dresses as well! Her Mommy wanted one for fall and one for Christmas. They're even cuter in tiny sizes!

 

 

I've been using my new embroidery machine (my latest addiction) to embellish the dresses I sew, but there are soooo many ways to add personality and embellishment on your own! Pockets, ric rac, trims, simple appliques, and multiple fabrics can be used to make a truly unique dress.

 

These sew up in no time at all and would be well-loved by a little girl in your life.

What a great Christmas present!

Sweet Little Diapers

 

Almost exactly a year ago on our Facebook Page, I posted a picture of these little babies I was sewing up for my upcoming little one. I am a lover of cloth diapering, but the expense of the cute little newborn diapers was not as appealing as how cute they were. So I sewed a lot of my own.

 

 



 

 

I mentioned that there may be a pattern in the future. I didn't forsee it taking over a year to actually happen, but I'm now working on getting it drafted for YOU! Even better...it will be FREE.

 

My goal is to have 4 sizes: Newborn, small, medium, and large to sew all-in-ones and fitteds.

(You can also make pockets, but I won't include instructions for those)

 

My sweet boy doesn't fit in these anymore, but he's almost ready to try fitteds for night time diapering, so I'll be sewing up some new diapers soon.

 

Hopefully it doesn't take me another whole year to get this one out to you.

Deck Your Halls

It's almost time to deck your halls for Christmastime again. I am in complete denial that it's almost Christmas. This time last year I was blown up like a balloon, and typing up tutorials for my Becoming Mommy series.

(If you missed it, it was two weeks of mommy/baby projects!)

 

Because I was prepping a nursery and our home for our newest bundle of joy, I didn't do a lot of Christmas crafting. I did, however, pull out these goodies from years past. Check them out and get your crafting started!

 

It's almost time to put up the trees!

(Ours does not go up one second before the end of Thanksgiving.)
