A couple of weeks ago my daughter (4 yo) decided that wearing a skirt and t-shirt to daycare was unfashionable and embarrassing, and each morning sobbed about getting dressed into this sun safe but ’embarrassing’ combination.

We launched a gorgeous FREE hack pattern this week for anyone in our Facebook group that transforms our #108 girls dress pattern into…
I was thrilled this year to be invited to be a part of Refashion Month with House of Estrela. If you have been reading the blog for a while you will know that this type of project is my jam – especially kids clothes, and I had an absolute ball with this one: Introducing the Re-Fashionable Romper!…
