Hi! I'm Lauren: college-educated mom to Harper (and soon-to-be Ezra!) who gave up career life to sew, knit, sing nursery rhymes and watch Yo Gabba Gabba a dozen times a day. Most days, I love it. My husband Scott and I live with our kid(s) and two insanely dumb cats in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Harper’s New Dresses…and Some Coloring, Too

Harper’s New Dresses…and Some Coloring, Too post image

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of sewing done. Harper has reached this glorious age where she likes doing things on her own – playing with her babies, running around in circles, watching a show or climbing to dangerous heights on unstable furniture. She also loves creating artwork…

Here are just a couple of things I’ve made her in the last week:

T-shirt dress using an upcycled t-shirt for fabric. I saved time by keeping the bottom and sleeve hems intact. Such a quick, instant-gratification project. I used Rae’s Flashback Skinny Tee pattern as the base for the bodice.

And this little number…I just love it. I used a piece of fabric I thrifted for $2 a year-or-so ago. I’ve been hanging onto it for the perfect project, and this was definitely it. I used Rae’s Geranium Dress pattern to make this little piece of heaven. Harper seems to dig it, too.

Oh, and that’s not all. Little Ezra (yes, that’s the name we chose!) is going to have a sweet little handmade wardrobe to come home to this summer. I can’t wait until next week when I can Celebrate the Boy! with Rae and Dana. Stay tuned…
