Sew With Us Winners!

I don't typically devote a whole post to announcing giveaway winners, but... guys!  I loved reading every, single one of your sewing stories.  Luckily, I can just use that random number generator thingie, because there is NO WAY I could pick 3 winners out of all of those touching stories.  Seriously!  Anyway, here are the winners for the giveaway:

Congrats to the winners, and THANK YOU to everyone who entered!  If you'd like another chance to win, visit Rachel's blog!  She'll be picking another three winners soon!  xo.

Feature Friday: Baby On The Way

No, no... I do not have a baby on the way.  Let's just make that VERY clear.  I love my baby to pieces, but no more babies for Katie.  I'm talking about my friend Rachel's new e-course "Baby on the Way".  I've had the pleasure of seeing it first hand and I have to say, it's SO good!  I'm not just saying that because I love the gal, either.  It really has so many great projects!  My favorite part about this e-course is that it's not just for expecting families.  I plan on doing most of the projects for Poesy, and maybe a couple for some extra special baby gifts for friends.

 Before I dove in I was feeling a little intimidated by all of the sewing that I thought I would need to do, but the projects are ones that I feel I can tackle... which is saying a lot for me, because I am pretty good these days at the hand stitching, but I am no expert when it comes to the sewing machine.

Anyway, I thought this course was so sweet that I wanted to share.  I'm pretty excited about the baby Christmas gifts I'll be sewing up this year.  Watch out, Poesy... mama's going for a handmade Christmas!  ;)

I hope your weekend is just wonderful, friends!  xoxo Katie

P.S.  I keep forgetting to announce the giveaway winner, so here she is:

P.P.S.  Did any of you see the end of that baseball game last night?  It was way too intense for me, but I'm glad the Cardinals won.  It makes my husband very happy.  ;)

Weekly Wears: Extra Fancy

I have been looking for any excuse to use my new sewing machine lately.  My plush gig is mostly a hand-sewn job, so I've been delving into the pile of fixer-uppers.  I bought this dress online recently and it was most unflattering on me.  And while my sewing machine skills may be slightly lacking, it was fun altering it all the same.  Plus, a bow tie makes every dress feel extra fancy.  ;)

Dress:  Vintage (from Fancy Tree House)

Cardigan:  Free People

Tights:  c/o We Love Colors

Shoes:  c/o Blowfish Shoes

This is what the dress originally looked like:

While the dress looked great on her, it was less than stellar on me.  I removed the sleeves, slimmed the body (because the bust was too big), and changed the neckline.  There you have it-- an unwearable dress turned wearable!  :)

Now it's time to make someone's day!  The winner for the Little Luck Tree Holga giveaway is:

Jo, I've passed your email address on to Shannon!

Have a great day, friends!  xoxo Katie
