I have always been fascinated with tutu dresses, the numerous strips of tulle, the translucent fabric and the ruffles and waves all feel so feminine and delicate. I could make the skirt easily but the top always stumped me, it had to match the sophistication of the tulle yet it had to comfortable and stretchy enough so little kids don't feel scratchy or uncomfortable. All those questions were answered when I saw the various tutorials with…

I recently made this reversible dress for my newborn niece. I always wanted to make something with this Aviary 2 fabric and I love how it turned out.

Here's the pointer to the tutorial:…

I sew clothes all the time...for my daughter.For me? Not so much. Even simple repairs like sewing on a button, or hemming a pair of pants languish for months in my unfinished pile, before they get to…

I had way too many really nice fleece sleepers left, following my daughter's recent growth spurt. All of them were almost new and would fit her really well except for one problem. They were a couple of inches too short. After looking at them ruefully for many days I finally had this idea of turning them into fleece jackets. It was pretty easy and quick and I'm so happy that…

Made these skirt leggings for my preschooler. These are very comfortable for her to wear and a nice change from plain leggings. I always want her legs to be covered so she can play in sun for however long they allow her, having a skirt legging together means I don't have to make her wear another legging under her dress/skirt. I will be definitely making more…

I recently made this ruffled scarf for myself for an upcoming trip. I absolutely love how soft it feels against my skin, and it has a lovely drape. It was also very quick and simple to make.

Here's a writeup of how I made…

Here's a tutorial for ruffled pants I made recently. I think its a good technique to make adorable baby pants. This technique could also be used to increase or decrease the length of pants that fit well at the waist, but are too long or too short.…

This skirt was inspired by Princess dresses that were all over the place on Halloween. I wanted to make a skirt that has scallops like on a princess dress but is still easy to make. The Claire skirt fits the bill I think.

I recently made this headband for my cute little model. This was very easy to make with some Tulle scraps, Foldover Elastic and satin ribbon. I love how cute it looks on her and that it will work with both casual and formal clothes.

Since my little monkey needed some full sleeved tops for the fall-winter season, I was slicing and dicing some designs in my head and I kept on coming back to the sleeve part again and again. Why does it have to be such a long process, there has to be a better way of doing it. Finally I thought of this design and decided to give it a try.

I like how it turned out, it fits…

Here's the infant butterfly romper that I recently made.

I like that this romper doesn't require any complicated pattern, so it can be easily scaled to the size of any child. The shoulder straps and the elastic at the back ensures that it will grow with the children.…

Here's tutorial for making two color pieced pants for toddlers. These will work great with a multicolored dress or top. You could also use the same technique to add a couple of inches to an existing pair of pants, which fit well at the waist but have become an inch or two, too short with a growth spurt.

I have paired these pants with a…

At the end of summer, I was left with a pile of perfectly fine, well fitting almost new Tshirts of my daughter. These Tshirts would work perfectly except that they were all half-sleeved. "They would be too short by next summer...if only they had sleeves..." I found myself thinking. And then I realized, adding sleeves won't be that hard, after all I…

A practical and useful gift for any newborn or baby-shower.
