This is a simple project crafters of any level, and I'm sharing the FREE set of cut files for ALL the Hogwarts Houses so that you can make one of these shirts for yourself!

No-Sew 18" Doll Pillowcase Dress

Upcycle an old t-shirt into a new no-sew Pillowcase Dress for your 18 inch doll!

Making clothes and accessories for 18 inch dolls is so much fun! My daughter had a Dolly & Me Tie-Dye Party, complete with matching pillowcase dresses made from t-shirts for all the girls. We had the best time, and the kids loved making the custom matching outfits with their tiny BFFs. After the party, my daughter has spent hours making more dresses for her dolls using old shirts, which has saved us so much money! This 18" Doll Pillowcase Dress is SO easy to make, and has both a sewing or no-sew option so that anyone can make one with ease.

Easy Zippered Pencil Pouch

Keep your pens and planner accessories organized with a handmade Zippered Pencil Pouch!

I've just gotten myself a new planner, and I'm excited to make an attempt (ahem...again) at getting myself organized and planned out. As I've been traveling, it's been hard to keep my planner accessories organized along with my planner. I've tried a few store-bought pouches, but they didn't really work like I wanted. So, I took matters into my own hands I decided to try making my own Zippered Pencil Pouch. This was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Not only do I LOVE the fabric, but I am thrilled with how the pouch turned out and have had a lot of success with it! If you are in a similar predicament, I know you are going to love making a custom pencil pouch of your own.

It's back to school season, which means shiny new school supplies! This year, instead of getting the same-old lunch boxes, you should try making your own Insulated Lunch Box using a fabric that fits your personality! I made this one using Spider-Man fabric for my husband to take to work with him, and he's pretty excited to show it off to his students.

DIY Dragon Hoodie Costume

Have an adventure this Halloween with your own Dragon Hoodie Costume!

One of my favorite things about Halloween season is deciding what kind of Halloween costume to make for my daughter every year. I've been making her costumes since she was a baby, and I'm so excited to share what we've decided on for this year. With a little help from Fairfield World, we were able to put this Dragon Hoodie Costume together, and I couldn't be more thrilled with it. Not only is it an eye-catching costume, but it's also comfortable (which is important) and the main outfit can be worn again after Halloween!
