Duchess and Hare “Bubble Up” Bubble…for Boys!
Now that I am officially sewing for two boys I am on a mission, people. I need more boy patterns. While I am always here for a Jon Jon, I envy my daughter’s wardrobe for my son. If she’s not in the mood for a dress in one of 75 variations, she gets to wear shorts, pants or overalls in one of 75 other variations. Not so much for the boys. When I ran across this sweet little bubble I was immediately excited that it could easily be done for a boy. This was my first time working with a Duchess and Hare pattern. While the majority of their patterns…

Creative Needle Easy Sunsuit-Overalls
Given my obsession with babies in bubbles, it should come as little surprise that I’m also a sucker for overalls. They’re just the cutest, most classic, most perfect little summer staple.

Tailgating Attire
Okay y’all. First thing’s first. I’m not technically an Auburn fan. However, I am 1000% a fan of Auburn tailgating. One of my sisters currently attends Auburn Veterinary School. Getting to visit her and also attend games is a blast. Luke and I had the pleasure of attending a game last year and I absolutely LOVE how family friendly, fun, and rich in tradition the atmosphere is there. So naturally; We can’t wait to visit their “favorite aunt” (she’s named herself that) for a football game this year. When in Rome, dress as the Romans…right? Our impending visit with my sister provides me with the perfect excuse to make the…
