Charlie Dress ~ Pattern Review...

In July, I was lucky enough to win a copy of the Charlie dress, by Mingo & Grace, and courtesy of the Dotted Whale. I love the style of the dress - the dropped waist and the gathered flounce skirt, teamed with the plain top, so I was keen to sew one up.

Take Great Photos With Your Phone...

Want to know how I took those awesome photos for the Rainbow Dress tutorial? Ha, ha... I didn't. My daughter, Tash, from Little Ladybird, did the photo shoot.

Scooter Buddy...

Today I'm joining in with Natalie, from Sew Outnumbered, for Day 5 of the Scooter Buddy blog tour. As soon as I saw the scooter buddy, I knew I was going to make one. Nat's invitation to join the blog tour just made it happen faster.

Mud Puddle Splashers...

What do you do with pre-loved jeans...

Most of us have at least a couple of pairs of jeans in our wardrobe at any given time. I'd be lost without them, as I wear jeans nearly every day. When they no longer fit, are too old to wear or are simply not a style we care to wear anymore, what can we do with them?

Give Your Images Descriptive Filenames...

Do you think about filenames when adding photos to your blog posts? Giving your photos descriptive filenames could bring extra traffic to your blog. Now, I have no idea how Google ranks pages and websites in searches, but it makes sense that descriptive filenames are likely to rate more highly than meaningless filenames.
