We have had an amazing summer so far...

We have lived in Alaska for over 7 years now, and I have to say this is on of the nicer summers that we have had.  We have had over a week of sunshine.  Temps have been right around 65+... which for Kodiak, is nice.  The kids are nice and tan too.

I've been sewing up a storm.  Custom orders are coming in and I am loving it.  I really enjoy making something special for a special kiddo's birthday or big event.  This week I did a darling knot dress for Miss Cate's birthday.  She is a darling little model too.  We had a great afternoon hanging out in the front yard blowing bubbles and just playing. 

This Apron Knot dress if a from a pattern from Little Lizard King.  I just love how easily it goes together.  I made a similar dress for Madeline out of the cutest owl fabric from Riley Blake using the same pattern.

Here is Ms. Cate modeling her Genevieve Skirt.  (SIGnature Creations pattern)

And bubbles.... how cute is this????  

SIGnature Creations Genevieve Skirt - Mom n Me set

 I just love love love how these skirts turned out.  They are BIG ALABAMA fans!!!!!  

But then again, houndstooth goes with everything!!!

This is the Genevieve Skirt pattern from SIGnature Creations.  I was incredibly lucky to test this pattern for SIG and have loved the way each skirt has turned out.  I've made them from size 3T to Women's sizes.  With the pocket and without.  I love them all!!!  Fantastic pattern!  

You can find this pattern in SIGnature Creation's etsy store. 

Here is sassy IzzyB.  Love this girl!!!!!

ODU Messenger Bag

 

This was a custom order for my friend.  I love the fabrics she chose and how it turned out.  I also made her a matching passport wallet and key chain.  

A few things to share :)

I have been keeping busy.  The kids are out of school now and I have had to rearrange my sewing time a little bit.  This is one thing I love about living in Alaska.  It stays light well into the night.  Here in Kodiak, we don't get 24 hours of daylight, but we do get REALLY long days.  Tonight, for example, I needed to take photos of new items and it was 10pm.  Perfect lighting!!!!  

Here are a few of my latest projects.  One of my husband's friends at work recently had a baby.  This gift basket was for them.  I had so much fun doing this one!!

 

 

 

 

 My other project has been some Tie T's and Onesies for Bells & Beaus, a children's boutique here on the island. 

 

I love this little vest.  It is a pattern from Little Lizard King.  

It is reversible, too!

Here are a few of the onesies (size newborn thru 18 months)

Enjoy!!!!
