Choose two of these.....To celebrate Sew Mama Sew's May Giveaway Day, I'm giving away not one, but TWO custom cloth diaper covers! These are wrap-style, waterproof covers to be used with prefold diapers and I'll make two in the size and color you specify (solid colors only). To see the available colors, visit my Etsy… Continue reading May Giveaway Day! Which will you choose?
I was "on-call" the day I was scheduled to have my labor induced, which means I just had to wait and wait (and wait!) for the hospital to let me know when to come in. I can tell you, the call didn't come on the early side of the 24 hour window I was given!… Continue reading Tutorial: Tipped burp cloth
After submitting my entries into the Sewalong, several lovely fabrics were still staring at me from my stash. I'm trying hard not to buy 1) more fabric or 2) more patterns, since I have heaps of both, so I set out to match fabric to pattern for a new shirt. These days, of utmost importance… Continue reading Giving it a go
Wahoo! I submitted two tops to the Made by Rae Spring Top Sewalong, and BOTH made it to the first round of finals. Crazy! Please vote for my "Flowery button-down"!This contest has really gotten me excited me about sewing for myself again. Using patterns had been making me insane because you go through all the… Continue reading I’m a finalist…Again!
So I've written extensively about diaper covers already (because, hey, when you have an 8.5 month old, it's a fairly consuming topic), but I've got exciting news to share! For a long while, I'd been wondering if Little Man was bothered by the bulk in his midsection (between doubled cloth and wide cover). There's not… Continue reading Last post about diaper covers? Maybe?

There is also voting on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the other finalists. There are so many wonderful entries, and seeing how this is the first sewing contest… Continue reading I’m a finalist!
Spring Top Sewalong #2Before the seam ripperI’ve been ruminating about my second entry for the Made by Rae Spring Top Sewalong for so long, it’s crazy…how to create the pattern, which fabric to choose, how to assemble the darn thing…it’s been preventing sleep for a few weeks now. One of my all-time favorite tops was… Continue reading Spring Top Sewalong Entry #2
Fabric: Sugar Pop for ModaTo me, it's incredibly satisfying to use the items I've made around the house. I still love seeing Evan's quilt on his bed each day or putting on a cover during a diaper change. I fully adore my mismatched napkins, with their mitred corners, made from sets of mixed fat quarters.… Continue reading Napkins!
Flowery button-down by NicoleDespite how much I wanted to, I was too busy being pregnant and teaching a night class to participate in last year's Spring Top Sewalong. This year, both boys go down for the night around 8 and if there isn't good TV on (so sad Top Chef is over!), I can sew… Continue reading Spring Top Sewalong
As I knew would happen, finding pants that fit over Little Man's big, cloth-diapered butt is a challenge. I can only take so many pairs of baby leggings! In my zeal of nesting before the baby arrived, I made a couple of pairs of "Big Butt Baby Pants" from Made By Rae, but the baby… Continue reading Big butt baby pants
