The birdseed dress is adorable!! Making dresses for my daughter is definitely one of my favorite things to sew.
Angie is an excellent photographer as well as an excellent seamstress. having such an adorable model can’t hurt!!
LOVE the birdseed dress!!!
So cute! I love the bright orange dino
I loved seeing all the scarves too. I need to get in gear and get mine done! I’ve been doing them for women for not the little ones.
I continue to enjoy the great inspiration and ideas on your blog. Now, can you whip me up so more time for sewing?
Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Love that dinosaur! In my experience, finding the “right” image is usually the hardest part of a project involving my son.
Today’s project in my house is one of those scarves. I’ve been thinking about it all week and today is the day! After all, it’s a cool 75 degrees outside…
SO MANY TALENTED MOMS! I’m so inspired by all the ideas flying around…
Have a great weekend one and all!
Wow, there are some awesome creations out there! Thanks for the inspiration.
As soon as it actually cools down here, I will start a scarf of my own!
I look forward to following the month of your kids’ clothing feature, even though my kids probably wouldn’t wear anything mom-made!
What great projects!
These are great projects – my poor little dude is now the owner of 7 pairs of t-shirt pants (hey, I had to do something with all my thrift store tees!)
I can’t wait to make that Super Cape – my one year old isn’t quite old enough yet, but I think it won’t be much longer! I’m so impressed by how talented all you ladies are – and a little jealous!
I’m working on some fleece baby shoes for my son right now…need to get them finished so I can post pictures!
I agree – for dinosaurs, orange is the ONLY way to go.
Oh, these are just killing me! I really need to step up production around here… .
I agree that the birdseed dress is adorable!
There are some many great project out there! It’s so inspiring!
My favorite project has to be the great scarf by Iheartlinen. GORGEOUS!

Oh my, this post makes me want to whip out the sewing machine. Beautiful clothes!
I’ve been sewing since wednesday, but have yet to post the photos. I love how easy and fast kids clothes can be, such lovely simplicity and the more I sew, the more creative and inspired I get. I’ve been loving all the photos and tutorials. Love, love, love the fast way to make kids pants tutes, I have 3 pairs made and 3 more to come.
I wish I had a dress that cool when I was her age! What am I saying? I wish I had a dress that cool now!
That dinosaur appilque is fantastic!
Oh I love that little dress! It reminds me of summertime.
SO cute!
wow, these kids dress better than i do! and i completely love the dino shirt…i want one for me, and i’m old! i recently made a handbag w/a mammoth on it for my sister. http://passporto.blogspot.com/ i guess dinosaurs never really lose their appeal. great job!

I totally need the bird fabric now so that I can make a dress. Not that my daughter would ever agree to wear anything I made…
I love all the kid’s clothing ideas. The repurposed cords are a favorite for sure. TIme to dig into the closets and reuse some items!
I love the dress… it’s very cute! I just finished my scrapwork scarf for my little girl and I can’t wait to post the pictures. I’ll do that this weekend.
All of this is adorable! I have to make one (or twelve) of those scarves!
GAH! Those puppy pants are out of control cute!
I have been sewing every chance I get, but I seem to get bogged down in the details. My biggest problem is trying to calm the perfectionist in me!
The skirt and scarf are adorable!

I took the patchwork scarf I made up to show someone, and my daughter freaked out because *her* scarf was leaving the house! I love the birdseed dress, too….and now I’ve got to go search out “t-shirt’ pants because they sound like something I have to make. Right now
Love the puppy pants. My 1 year old boy would love them! The dino shirt is a great idea for my 3 year old boy. Thanks for the great boy clothes inspiration!
The birdseed dress is very cute. Pink and white are the perfect little girl dress colors.
That birdseed dress is too cute!!!

can’t wait until my 14-week fetus is old enough for this stuff! ha.
I love seeing everyone’s project pics! This month, I finished five new things for my big kindergarten girl. When people compliment her, she beams and proudly says, “my mom made it!” Swoon!
I need to make some more clothes for my little guy. So cute!

So many sweet things. Love the triceratops shirt.
I can’t get over how cute that bird dress is. It’s to die for!
those are all so great, my son wants me to make him a t-shrit with an appliqué monster on the front… I still have to find time to make it. I really thought it got easier with more time once kids were back into school, I am finding I have less time.
Love the patterns, and Alexander Henry has the best fabric. Thanks for all of the cool ideas
Thanks for providing these links. It’s always great to discover new crafters.
I love the ideas!
The birdseed dress is TOO TOO CUTE!

The birdie dress is adorable… I’ve found some inspiration!

Still loving those scarves, I think I’ll make myself one too in a larger size!
So inspiring! Sigh….I wish I were so creative.
I love that little girl birdy dress. So darling.

Love the orange dinosaur!
LOVE all the tutorials — my head is spinning w/what to start w/first!

LOVE that dinosaur. I just put a dino on the back of a hoodie for my son, and it didn’t even occur to me to use a patterned fabric.
Aww I love that little scarf.
I love that birdseed dress – I think that I need one for me! And I must make some scarves (plenty of time to get them done before next winter though in Australia). Great inspiration!
The pink bird dress is adorable. It inspires me to want to sew formy daughter again. She is 8 and it is getting hard to find dresses for her that are not meant to make her look 21. She is my little girl not a college student, for pete’s sake! What is the big hurry to make them grow up? Thanks for sharing these great childrens’ clothes!
adorable! i really need to get back on track w/ my pile o’pants
Wow, there are some talented people out there! I just love the bird dress…now, if only it was in a bigger size…
I love the Birdseed dress !
Love your Blog, flickr groups and shops! YOU ROCK!!
I would love to make my boys really cute clothes, but the way they destroy an outfit in no time at all, I don’t even bother!
Cute projects!
I just ordered fabric from you. I love your website and your blog. There are so many creative designers out there!
It’s my week- I can feel it…

My ‘baby’ is now 13, but I do have a niece who I can sew for!
I absolutely love the birdseed dress; do you think an adult could pull off that fabric
