FREE Baby Sleep Sack Pattern from Candy Castle Patterns!

Today I have a fantastic free pattern to share with you – the Birthday Brownie Sleep Sack from Candy Castle Patterns! This sleep sack is the perfect project to tackle during naptime since it is quick and easy. It comes in sizes newborn through 12 months and the fit is generous so it is also a sure bet for gifts as well!

The pattern is designed for almost any type of knit fabric so it is suitable for all seasons. There is the option to partially line it or make it fully lined and reversible. I made this one out of a lovely rayon spandex from Raspberry Creek Fabrics and partially lined it. I had originally bought the fabric to make baby girl a swaddle for her newborn days, but time got away from me. It makes my heart happy to see her snuggled in this fabric I so painstakingly picked out for her before she was born. Continue Reading

Tide Pool Tank Release Day!

I had a baby on February 26. In addition to all my feelings of joy (I am so blessed in my husband and three children), another thought soon began racing through my head:

I can test for boys now!! SEW ALL THE BOY BABY CLOTHES!!

So when Peek a Boo Pattern Shop put out a testing call for the Tide Pool Tank, I was all in.

The Tide Pool Tank is a sweet and simple slim-fit tank top with a hood option. I made the 6 month size for my not-quite-three-month-old-chunk, and the fit is spot on. It is on sale today, for Thrifty Thursday, for $6.75. The top is suitable for boys or girls and is sized from 3 months to 12 years. Continue Reading

My Favorite Project To Date…

Hello everyone! Alisha here. Today I’m sharing my favorite project I’ve made to date. In December, my oldest son’s teacher and her husband were blessed to adopt a newborn baby girl. We were all surprised and elated by the news! I knew I wanted to make something for the new baby from her class. After thinking, I realized a handprint quilt would be a perfect gift.

After deciding on my project, I sketched out the quilt design and calculated my fabric needs. I decided on a simple block design with sashing between the blocks. There were 21 students in his class so in order to make a square quilt, I needed 3 more blocks. Another teacher’s mother does machine embroidery. She made me 3 squares with baby’s name, baby’s birth stats, and a Bible verse I felt was fitting. The verse I chose was “For this child, I have prayed” from 1 Samuel 1:27.  Continue Reading
