The Bohemian Babydoll sewing pattern by Elegance & Elephants can be summed up in one word: gorgeous. I’m not just saying that. This little dress seems like it was made for Harper. You can tell from the photos that she loves wearing it, and I love seeing her in it. Even her daddy thought it […]
A few years ago, when Harper was just a wee little baby, I created my first sewing pattern while I was blogging as Ruthie Pearl. It was called “Baby Got Back Leggings” and was designed for tiny babies through two-year-olds wearing cloth diapers. At that time, I had an extremely hard time finding pants to […]
Last week, I took some time away from obligatory sewing and pattern design to do some pleasure sewing – you know, making something for myself just…because. No blog post due, no occasion that demands a new outfit, no self-imposed deadline. Just sewing for fun. That really is the best kind, right? Sometimes I forget that. I […]

I’m gonna be honest with you. This little sewing project almost didn’t happen. I was feeling tired and blogged out…and I wasn’t looking forward to convincing Harper to let me take photos. But one Sunday afternoon, I had this feeling that the kids might take an unusually long nap. So, instead of heading to the […]

HI you guys!! I’m so, so sorry…I decided not to do a roundup post last week for the Summer of SOLEIL blog tour for a couple reasons: 1) I was preoccupied with other things (AKA totally snowed under) and 2) it was a holiday, so not many people were piddling around on the internet. Ya […]
