For the love of flannel

We are cozy creatures over here.
Nice jeans are considered church pants, and worn very begrudgingly by my boys. They spend their days running around in athletic or sweat pants.

My gals enjoy their cozy tights, leggings, and comfy pants.  At the age of 8.5, I can count on one hand how many times Sydney has worn jeans in her life.  I buy her a pair every so often, but she just doesn't like them.

They do come by it naturally, tho.
I'll wear leggings any day.
Cozy I tell you.

Now that the seasons are changing, my eyes have been drawn to more cozy fabrics at the store.

And while perusing the aisles, I realized that flannel isn't just for large, oversize, button down shirts circa 1992 anymore.

They make some really cute prints.

So I bought a few yards, and made Stella a pair of flannel ruffle pants, and Ellery a flannel dress...

And now we wear our comfy clothes in style :)

Another shirt re-fashion

I love a good bargain.

 I just can't seem to pass by a good deal when I stumble upon one.

It's in my blood.

 So consiquently, Sydney has a ridiculous amount of shirts.

And the girl won't wear jeans.

For fun, we decided to spruce this one up a bit with fabric and trimmings from my stash.

And wa-lah!  A new dress for Sydney!

And I'm pretty sure we'll get more use out of it in it's new form.

Happy Friday all~

Vintage Fat Quarters.

My stash of vintage sheets is starting to get a little out of control.

And If I'm honest, I really don't need all of that fabric.

So I've decided to start selling them off in my shop....now available one fat quarter at a time!

I was delighted to ship my first fabric package off to the UK earlier this week.

And even more delighted to discover that I rock at guessing shipping.

happy thursday all~

Ruffle Shirt Re-Fashion

I  have been drooling over the ruffle fabric in this shop for some time now. 
Suck my tongue back in, wipe off my chin, drooling I tell you.

So, when I stumbled upon this delightful yellow ruffle shirt at a garage sale for a frugal $1.50, I snagged her right up.

I had a lovely size 4t onsie laying around.  One of those stock up because it's cheap at the outlet mall purchases when Stella was a baby....not really processing that she would be potty trained before it actually fit.

So, I cut up the onsie, cut up the shirt, cut up one of Tim's old gray t-shirts to make a flower... and wa-lah!

  

And while yellow isn't my first color choice, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  I honestly thought I'd screw it up, because the fabric is stretchy, and lining it up just right was a pretty important factor.

 happy tuesday all~
