Gnome Costume
Being a busy, working mom of two small kids, I love to use clothes that my kids already have and some other materials from around the house to make their Halloween costumes. That’s what my parents did when I was young, and that’s what I do. I made this costume with that in mind.

Shirt for the boys
I have lots of trouble figuring out what gift I should give my boyfriend for the holidays. Well the solution to that problem is to get a collar button down shirt and embroider something really cool on it. Now it is hard to find just the right embroidery pattern but if you look around there are patterns for boys. I found this one on Urban Threads. I thought is was a totally cool idea and would be very special to give your boyfriend because you made it.
Rolled Hem Blankets
I recently discovered some of the amazing features on the Lauren. For the past couple of weeks I have been trying different things on the serger and recently learned of the rolled hem.
The rolled hem is a simply a hem made from thread to prevent raveling. On a traditional hem you fold the fabric over the edge to get a nice finished looked, but for a rolled hem thread is used instead. Pull out a nice set of napkins and you’ll likely see a rolled hem around the edge.
I used this technique to create receiving blankets for my friend. Most store-bought receiving blankets are 30″ x 30″, which doesn’t really allow you to wrap up the baby. So, I made her 36″ x 36″ blankets that would also work great for swaddling. And, the best part, I got to pick out the fun flannel fabrics!
