You can save even more if you go to the…

That is why I start planning, sewing, and even buying in July. When December finally does roll around, I can relax and enjoy the season. Plus I just…

Chilly weather keeps creeping in. And what does that mean for my girl's wardrobe? Leggings. Lots of them. Leggings are such a simple way to keep those little leggies warm. So why not make like 10 pairs? And even better.........is that I'll show you how to make them with just 2 cut out fabric pieces. Not 4, like most pairs of pants. Quick, easy, and super cute for girls and boys. But if you don't like tighter looking leggings for your baby/toddler boy, cut the leg a bit wider......but the…
