This little lady has rebelled against wearing dresses recently but loves tops with shorts. I made the bloomers to complete the outfit and she's in love!

Patterns are Edessa and Charleston by

My daughter loves matching with me and I will do it as long as she wants me too! I used the same fabric to make a dress for me and a top for her and she absolutely loves it!

Patterns are Edessa from and and she's also got Charleston bloomers on
Fabric for dress and top from .canada

When I saw this print on sale at .canada I just knew I had to use it for a dress for myself! The new Edessa dress by was the perfect pairing for this gorgeous fabric!

Of course I had to make me and my mini coordinating dresses! I love when a pattern has multiple size ranges and I will be making us matching clothes as long as she will wear them!

Pattern is Malibu by and
All fabric from .canada

If there's anything my daughter loves as much as matching me it's matching her dolly! The Malibu pattern from now comes in child, baby, doll and adult ( )
It is such an adorable summer dress pattern that has multiple back ties or elastic options and a cute shoulder flutter I will have to try for my next time!

All fabric from .canada

I absolutely loooove that came out with an adult version of the Malibu pattern! This gorgeous dress has a wonderful fit with princess seams and an elastic/tie back so there's no zippers or buttons to worry about!

Kalmia is such a cute pattern I just had to make a second one! This one is the simple skirt version but still has the same open back (there's a closed back version too!) and it's the perfect dress for the hot summer days!

Of course as soon as my daughter saw her new bag she wanted a matching dress! I had just enough of the lining fabric left over to sew up this cute ruffle Kalmia! It's the newest pattern release from and still on sale until tomorrow!

I've been promising my daughter I would sew her a dance bag since she started classes in January and I finally did it! She absolutely loves her new bag and it's the perfect size for all of her dance accessories!

Bag pattern is Hawthorn and dress pattern is Ivy both from

The fabric is a mishmash of leftover bits from other projects but the velvet fabric for the handles and the lining fabric both came from

I love when I can make something my daughter feels beautiful in! She was having soooo much fun prancing around in this for the photos 😆

This fancy romper is made from almost 100% upcycled materials! I used a thrifted curtain for the lace and thrifted a bedsheet for the lining. Even the lace flutters were given to me by my old buy nothing neighborhood group! I think the materials came together beautifully for this fancy romper! The elastic shoulders make it easy for bathroom breaks too!

Pattern is the olive romper with shoulders inspired by the hibiscus pattern, both from

I love a reason to do fancy sews for my girl! This outfit is what I imagined I would make for her if she was a flower girl in a wedding! It's a lace romper with a fancy tulle skirt over top. Fancy for the ceremony but a little more relaxed for the reception!

Patterns include the olive romper with elasticated flutter sleeves inspired by the hibiscus romper and a powderpuff pettiskirt with some additional layers. All pattern from

My daughter is absolutely loving twirling in all her spring dresses. This one is Peony from , it is so comfortable to wear with the elastic back and has an exposed hem ruffle that gives this dress the amazing twirl! I used a fabric I thrifted and I'm just loving the vibrant floral 😍

Willow is another gorgeous pattern designed by this year! This is such a cute party dress with fantastic pouffy sleeves and open back detail! I used a lovely soft cotton from to sew it up ❤️

has had some beautiful pattern releases this year and I've totally fallen behind on posting my makes! This is the newest pattern called Rosehip and it's the cutest knit dress or top that has fabulously large pockets! I sewed it out of a lovely soft knit poly cotton knit from .canada

For my middle son I used a panel that says 'Stay wild' and for my big girl I used one that says 'Let your imagination run wild'. These are both the absolute perfect fits for the two of them, for words and actual shirt fits 😆

Pattern is Sandlot tee by

The sandlot tee is so good all the kids got one! I'm obsessed with this pattern and my kids love it too! The older two especially because they love to all be matching 😆

Pattern by

new sandlot tee is the absolute best! So freaking cute and the fit is awesome!

I used a panel for my baby that says adventurous and it's the perfect shirt for my little monkey 😆

I'm glad I got to continue my tradition of slightly *extra* birthday dresses for my little girl 😆 here's to hoping this one gets more wear then the previous ones!

Camellia dress by
Swipe to see- two modified Ivy dresses by and Lienze by

I modified the Camellia pattern by lengthening the mini skirt and adding extra width to the skirt pieces so it would be super full. I also made extra long straps so they would trail behind her when she's running and twirling ❤️

Star tulle from

I love making coordinating things for my kids, I just prefer that to matchy matchy most of the time. I had so much fun picking out colour placement for these sweaters and they are so happy that they all got one! I did have to bribe my middle son with cookies to stand still for these pictures 😆

Patterns are Salla hoodie, Pasadena pants on the baby and Valparaiso joggers on everyone else by

The first picture is the only one I managed to get with everyone because my middle boy had the zoomies and could not stop running 😆
