I’ve made a few gifts recently.
1) I used this free pattern and tutorial to make a cute knit racerback dress in size 12-18 months. I just love racerbacks. I think Finley should have one.
After seeing Inder’s maternity shirt, I was itching to do some maternity sewing of my own. Unfortunately, the Megan Nielsen Ruched maternity tshirt pattern Inder used is temporarily out of print and sold out EVERYWHERE (it is supposed to be back in stock in July, but I am not that patient). [...]
I recently tried a new pattern from Shwin Designs called the Maggie Mae tunic.
I was excited to squeeze a dress out of a half yard of this precious Heather Ross print.
I usually make Finley a size 7 when I use Oliver + [...]
After making a pair of basic pocket pants for Nash (pattern from Growing Up Sew Liberated), I couldn’t resist making a pair of basic pockets shorts for the summer.
To make shorts, I just cropped the pants pattern, but still made the cuff the same width. I [...]
Remember how I love pattern books? One of my favorites is Growing Up Sew Liberated: Making Handmade Clothes and Projects for Your Creative Child. So many great patterns. It’s a steal.

I used the Nowhere Man pants pattern by Shwin Designs again (check out my previous pair here) and basically recreated the exact pants on the pattern photo, seersucker pockets, white topstitching, and all. [...]
I’m crossing things off my “to sew” list, folks.
I made Nash another Oliver + S Reversible Bucket Hat (free pattern available here), but this time I made the size medium and it actually fits him. Woohoo!
I decided to go with apparel fabric this time around [...]
I have a new addiction. Pattern books. I love them.
One of my newest books is Sew What You Love: The Easiest, Prettiest Projects Ever. It has some really great, basic patterns including this Amelie bag.
I have been wanting to make a pool bag to carry [...]
Summer is here! The kids needed hats. Enter the Reversible Bucket Hat from Oliver + S Little Things to Sew (also available as a free pattern download here).
For Finley’s hat, I extended the brim by 1.5 inches à la A Little Gray [...]
This stinkin’ cute hedgehog print by Lizzy House is another one of my favorites and I have been trying to figure out what to make with it for a few weeks. I knew I wanted to make a skirt, but couldn’t decide on anything more than that (again, I only had a [...]

Welcome! My name is Summer and I love to make stuff. Most recently I've been learning to sew -- one project at a time. I'm excited to have a place to share my creations.
