A plethora of new patterns for your Rockerbye Swim!

Oh my gosh, I don't even know where to start! Made for mermaids just released 6 new patterns and 4 of them are swim! The other two will work perfectly for gauze! Now, unfortunately, I only had time to test one of them so I'll explain and show you the Mama Alexandria first. I LOVE THIS SUIT! It's actually a one-piece suit with a faux wrap or tie wrap option. You can also choose from an optional flounce and 3 different strap options. It's fully lined with sewn in cup and elastic shelf bra options as well! I didn't use my Rockerbye...

Zombie Rashguards- Sun Beware!

Hooray!! We are so close to the official start of summer I can taste it! My kids love to be outside and love the water. I love when they are outside- that's less time they are bothering me inside.... kidding.... kind of. What I don't love is the sunblock game.

All the Brindille and Twig Love!

This week I bring you a company feature is very special to my heart. Brindille and Twig Pattern Company is essentially how I learned to sew clothing.

Even now after sewing for years B&T is a go-to for me when sewing for my kiddos. ...

DIY Satin Bound Gauze Blanket

Real talk- I never thought I'd actually use Satin binding on a blanket because, quite frankly, that sounds worse than going to the dentist. Then my littlest, Emerson, attached to a tiny lovey one he had. So of course with all of Ambers amazing prints on double gauze, I knew it had to be done. To my very happy surprise, it's actually way easier than I thought!! I figured I'd share a little tutorial. I'm not an expert by any means but my kid loves them and everyone who has gotten one as a gift does too! Supplies- Double Gauze, Pre-made...
