recycled and revamped sweater dress for the Little Sister!


Look at that beautiful smile! I arrived at my friends' house yesterday with a bag full of clothes and my sewing machine. We look through them to find something that would fit first. Then we chose the fabrics for the sash and skirt. After a little stitching, more trying on and a little stitch ripping (this means I truly love you, Sunny! Normally I find all kinds of ways to get around it.)

The owl was on another shirt which was too small, so it was cut off and restitched here. I gathered the skirt fabric and added the shawl collar to fill in the too-large Vneck on the sweater.

I think she likes it!


The Little Sister is part of an amazing homeschooling family with a non-profit site that encourages reading. Check out the books for walls project!

Heart Felt Folks tell story of The Mitten



It all starts with a little boy who wants his grandma to knit him some white mittens. After that, all kinds of adventure and mayhem ensues. We first learned of this story called "The Mitten" at a Waldorf playgroup, and have been enchanted by these little puppets which help tell the story.
