The Amazing Animazing Skirt

The Amazing Animazing Skirt

I let go of a lot of the holiday sewing I had planned, but I just couldn't let my daughter ride the Santa Train without making her something out of this great fabric I had found specifically for this purpose.  So, I started searching through patterns trying to figure out exactly which pattern to make.  And it hit me - this wanted to be a skirt, a skirt with a niche high waistband and cute little cross back straps.... it wanted to be an Animazing!  Luckily the designer, Cassie, for Little Lizard King gave me the hook up!

Swim Week: Cabana Swim Bottoms from Peek A Boo Patterns

Swim Week: Cabana Swim Bottoms from Peek A Boo Patterns

Swim Week is still going strong, and we are showing off the super versatile Cabana Bottoms from our affiliate Peek a Boo Patterns.  The great thing about this pattern, is that you can pair the bottoms with any swim top you like (I feel like the bottoms of two piece suits wear out faster than the tops).  This pattern comes in size 3m-12y and includes basic bottoms, mini ruffle bottoms, skirted bottoms, and a dance/swim skirt.

Runway Deconstructed: #ChallengeCreate Refashion Entry, Explained

So here we are in week two: Refashioning.  For me this was a WOHOOOO theme, for Becca it was more of an OhNoooooo.  Most of what I make includes some form of upcycling or refashioning, I built my personal blog around the idea that I could sew my children's wardrobes and save my family some dough.  My personal stash of fabric is made of 90% clothing, sheets, and drapes that have been given to be in garbage bags from friends and family.  I use this stash to mine for not only fabric, but buttons, zippers, and other notions.  Now Becca on the other hand has only tired a few refashioning projects, and in an effort to clean out her house, got rid of 5 bags of old clothes right before we found out we would be competing in this competition... wah-wah-wah.
