Backing Up Your Blog...

How often do you backup your blog? I usually remember to backup mine once a week, but I really should back it up EVERY time I work on it. Better safe than sorry!!! Here's a quick how to on backing up a Blogger blog...

Threading Your Way ~ Features...

This week's features, all of which are pinned to my newest Pinterest board... features from Threading Your Way with Threading My Way.

A beautiful dress, added to the Dresses for Girls link party. There are now over 350 dresses in the collection...

Playdate Party Dress ~ Tutorial by Pamela, from Sovanisa

Beach Huts Cushion Tutorial...

Today I'll show you how to make a set of cushions, with button closures. In Australia we call them cushions and I believe it's the same in the UK. In other parts of the world, you might refer to them as pillows.

Lucy's Little Flower Dress...

This is my second time making Lucy's Little Flower Dress, on this occasion as a gift for a little baby. And now that the outfit has reached it's destination, I can show you.

The Paper Bag Princess...

In case you missed it, here's the post I wrote for the Sew Many Books series, over at Nap-Time Creations... such a fun series!

When Emily asked if I wanted to be a part of Sew Many Books, children's clothes inspired by children's books, I didn't hesitate. Combining two of the things I am passionate about; children's literature and sewing for children, immediately had my head swimming with ideas.

There are so many good books for children, which made it hard to choose just one. I eventually decided on making an outfit inspired by Princess Elizabeth, the main character in The Paper Bag Princess, written by Robert N Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

All Day Skirt and Tee...

Do you recognise the skirt? It's one I've made in denim before... the All Day Skirt by Lily Bird Studio. The first time I used the pattern, I used a printed, non-stretch denim with a small polka dot for the ruffle. This time, the denim is stretch and teamed with a Michael Miller polka dot. I love the combination of the denim with a full ruffle.
