Here is the fedora hat tutorial and pattern for the hat I made Bean for the Lil Lumineer look. A few notes on this hat: This is made to fit a head circumference of 20.5″ (52cm) when sewn with 3/8″ (9mm) seams. You could probably make it around 21 1/4″ circumference if you reduce the seams Read the Rest…

I designed this Sketchy Stars fabric at Spoonflower to use for this shirt. This was a much more complicated design than my Simple Bicycles, since I had to make sure the stars repeated in the way I wanted them to without weird tiling lines. I used my Vintage V-Neck pattern in a size 3, since Bean is right between sizes Read the Rest…

Since we were doing 7 family combinations, I convinced my cousin, uncle, brothers and Hubby to help haul my mom’s antique couch (with her permission) out to a field in the park (which was deserted on Thanksgiving day, go figure) Read the Rest…
