Are you kids back in school now? Mine have been back for a couple weeks now-even my sweet little Nut-Nut! She started preschool and is feeling so grown up! I’m over at the New Horizons Designs Blog today sharing pictures of the sweet Back to School Cascade Tee I made for her first day. Such a bittersweet day… ...

After sewing my daughter’s layered ruffle tee from the Maggie Top, I just could not get over how cute and grown up she looked. And she loves her outfit! I love sewing for her when she loves the outcome. I saw the last bit of the floral jersey I used here and knew it would make the perfect peplum to match her lavender pants! So I took the same pattern as before and made a Maggie Peplum Top! Now I’ve got a little capsule wardrobe going for her. She might actually go to school in clothes that go together! Making...

One of the fun things about having girls is making dresses! This year I’m calling these a combined Easter dress and Mother’s Day dress because I had juuussst enough of this delicious Cherry Blossom Haiku fabric from Monaluna leftover from the girls dresses to squeeze out a peplum top for me! I’m loving matching my girls for a while. It’s cheesy, but I know they aren’t going to be into this whole matchy-matchy thing in a few short years! I’ve got to soak it in while its still cool and desirable. I finished these dresses well before Easter and...
