Pepper Street Bucket Hat

I've been looking for a good bucket hat pattern for years - my kids inherited such big heads, that a lot of the cute kid hats in stores just don't fit them. Enter the new Pepper Street Bucket Hat by Tie Dye Diva Patterns. This hat comes in 9 different sizes for a perfect fit from infant to adult. In addition, there's the option to make it reversible, with a stripe or color block, or add a chin strap or drawcord.

I went with an otter theme, because William is obsessed with these guys lately. It also gave me an excuse to play with my new Cricut Maker.

I wanted to use fabric that complements the otter theme and gave the kids several options. Jillian chose the shell and William chose a water texture.

Check out those eyelets!

Happy Summer!

Peony Top and Pansy Shorts

It's show and tell time! I got to test Tie Dye Diva Sewing Patterns new releases, the Peony top and Pansy shorts. It's hard to find patterns that Jillian likes these days, now that she's 10 years old and all, and to be honest, she wasn't sold on the drawing but once I had them finished she loves them!

There's multiple options for the Peony top - cropped or hip length, tiered ruffles or without, on or off the shoulders and with or without ties on the shoulders. Then of course add in the variety of fabrics and trims and the options are endless.

The Pansy Shorts can have ruffles, lace or other trim and offer pockets!!!

Birthday Wings

Jillian really wanted dragon wings for her birthday and since we're quarantined at home and couldn't have a party I really wanted to make these happen. Enter twig and Tale's Dragon Wings pattern!

Winter Wonderland Girl Scout Dance

I made Jillian the Venice dress by Little Lizard King for our school's Girl Scout Winter Wonderland Dance.

In all, the pattern offers 9 sizes, 2 collars, 3 sleeves and 2 hems. And I couldn't believe what an easy sew it was! No longer should you be afraid of a collar!
