Kids in Camo

After Dan joined the Guards last year, I knew it was time to break out some camo!


Ev's still fits (barely!) but James' has had to be retired...


It looked cute while it lasted though!


A perfect match to our fall mums!


Fabric: Camo from a local store (Fabric Warehouse), black ribbing from JoAnns, and olive and pink cotton-lycra jersey from Raspberry Creek.

Jackrabbit Outfits

2017 Hobo Day was last weekend... but here are a few pictures from Hobo Day 2016! 

Seems we have started a tradition... I run in the 5k in the morning, and then we watch the parade.


After the parade, we go to a park to eat a picnic lunch.


Then, my parents go to the game, while we head back to their place. 



Perfect time to take some pictures!


Thank you Ev, for taking my pictures, haha! 


It was perfect weather for a hike through their trees as well :)


Joy, joy, joy!

Go JACKS!


Patterns: Hey June Handmade's Lane Raglan with the cowl from the Halifax Top and Peekaboo Pattern Shop's Violet Tunic

Fabric: Blue Cotton/Lycra and yellow stretch lace, both from Raspberry Creek Fabrics

Repurposing T-Shirts

I guess saving all those shirts throughout the years has payed off ;) 


For a cousin's new baby... to remind them of the connection back to Sinai, SD!



There's only a few people that I can sew using shirts that has my maiden name on the back!

Patterns: Peekaboo Pattern Shop's Lullaby Bodysuit and Patterns for Pirates' Playground pants.



A fun reminder of the hours playing T-ball and softball under the summer sun!

It was a hard year for my high school graduation class - this fall, one classmate lost her husband to a hard-fought battle with brain cancer. Two months later, we lost a classmate in a tragic hunting accident where he and his younger brother both lost their lives. I graduated with about 40 other students after spending the previous 13 years together in the same building... so we're a tight-knit class, and these losses were very hard to deal with.



Well, that classmate who died in the hunting accident died about a week or so before his birthday. On that birthday, his little girl was born. I wasn't quite ready to cut up my senior shirt, but thankfully a classmate mailed me his, so I could make this bunny for the new baby. May she always know the love of her father and the support from his classmates.

Patterns: Bunny Lovey by UnlikelyNest



I also made this outfit for her - the top uses a shirt that my mom decided was too small for her (she still teaches at our school). 

Patterns: Peekaboo Pattern Shop Violet Tunic and Go-To Pattern's free baby legging pattern



These were made for a benefit for that same family. I was thankful that I could do something to help!

Handmade in the Wild: She likes to match...



The little girlie likes to match! It is inevitable that when I make something for myself, that she will ask several times if she gets to have something that matches! Truth be told, I'm not huge on matching... I feel a bit silly and too-cutesy-cutesy for my taste... but she won't want to match forever, plus it gives me a way to use up some scraps, so I'll continue to make a few more matching outfits every now and then :)
