The Perfect Baby Combo!

Is there anything cuter than seeing a sweet squishy baby in Rockerbye?? I personally don't think so, whether it's my baby or a gift for a friend. Babies in Rockerbye are basically the best. I'm super excited to share with you two new baby patterns that are perfect for all our Rockerbye! The New Made for Mermaids Baby Tai Leotard and Top and Baby Betsy Bloomers and just to die for! They are the cutest alone or paired together. Let's chat about Besty. This little bloomer pattern is the perfect combo between bloomers and bummies. It's designed for knit or swim...

Suspender Skirts and Rompers for all the Rockerbye Babes!

Spring has finally sprung and it's time to get those warm-weather sews started! I've got the most adorable pattern to share with you all that will take you all the way from spring even into winter! Introducing, Made for Mermaids Baby Samantha Suspender Skirt pattern! If you are familiar with Made for Mermaids at all you probably recognized the Samantha Suspender skirt as being one of their oldest most beloved patterns.

I went searching with Amber and she stumbled across the cutest little pattern shop called Peanut Patterns. She has a ton of adorable patterns all at great prices (even some freebies) and we were so...

Hem Away Your Circle Skirt Hemming Blues!

I know I'm not the only one out there that loves a circle skirt but absolutely dreads the hemming of it. I've heard through the grapevine of a different way to hem them so I gave it a try. The results are in and it's love! The way to do this is by using bias tape. You can choose between either Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape which will give your skirt some structure almost like horsehair braid as you can see in the version I made for Sutton. Or you can choose Single Fold for more traditional style hem. The...

Get some RBD on your Feet!

Whelp this is a fun blog!! I was super lucky and was chosen to test the new Menta Wrap Shoes. I knew right away I needed to use some of my Rockerbye! They did not disappoint. It's a super easy sew with a bunch of options for both young kids up to adult sizes! The wrap shoes are a perfect house shoe or can even be a real shoe depending on your fabric and sole choices! \ The kids sizes are from size 2 (approx US size 5.5/6) to size 7 (approx size 13) and adults are XS (approx 5.5/6 womens) to XXXL (approx...
