Oh yes, I did it. I made a teeny tiny Wednesday Addams dress for my little girl!


It's made from black jersey, with white jersey for the contrast. I love that I have discovered the easiest way to put buttons on stuff, because I LOVE buttons {still hate buttonholes though} now. Hurray for the button foot for my sewing machine!

My mother-in-law is going to be horrified. I bought black leggings for my incoming living doll and she remarked, "No grand-daughter of mine is going to wear black!" Teehee, she said that about her grandson too, and he rocks black so well.

My little girl's style is going to be all over the place! I have sooo many cute pink ruffley things given to me by my BFF Sophie {mama to my Monster's BFF, Little Genius and the adorable chubby bubby Bug}, and I've got my eye on a tonne of pretty vintage dresses on Etsy, as well as some Star Wars and Batman ideas and then I've got my style. My all-over-the-place, dabbling-in-almost-every-sub-culture style.

I guess we'll just have to see!

Anyway, I made the pattern myself, and it was pretty simple to make up, so keep an eye out for a pattern and a tutorial VERY SOON! As well as the promised Grease Monkey pattern I know I know, I have to make it perfect for you guys though. And also some really cute jocks I made for my little man {He's toilet-trained now! WOO} - I have a pattern and tutorial coming for them too.

I feel I should apologise for the onslaught of little baby girl stuff that is upcoming. I've always prided myself in making this blog mostly all about my boy and stuff for him, since boy stuff isn't as easy to make rad stuff as girl stuff.

Seriously though, I have to share with you my girl DIYs!

I went op-shopping the other weekend and bought a whole pile of tiny plain shirts and onesies. I knew I was going to embellish them, so let me show you what I did today!


Most of these basics I scored for 50c-$1 each, and all the embellishments I had on hand. This little red onesie I just handstitched a big white satin bow onto the front.



I made a little bow from some scrap of black and white polka dot fabric and hand stitched it to the shoulder of this tee.


I want to make another one for her hair/headband. Will she have hair? Is she going to be bald? So excited to find out! Will it be blonde like her big brother's? {omg that is so cute to say} or will she be dark like her mama?


Using freezer paper, I stencilled her name onto this onesie. So simple but I love it.


I found this silhouette of a bunny cameo while googling, and it led me to DeviantArt. I'm a bit disappointed that the stencil bled a little, but it still looks cool. I'm going to put a tiny satin ribbon bow on the bunny somewhere.

What do you think? Such simple stuff but overall I LOVE all the cute new stuff for her!

cutest profile :B

I know. I can't quite believe it myself. I was SO sure the little Alien inside me was a boy. Apparently not! Little Monster is getting a baby sister! No idea on a nickname for her just yet, so for now she shall stay Alien! Her name is fully picked out, it's pretty rockin'

We're halfway there!

Congratulations to MOUSE who won the Pixel Heart necklace giveaway! I've emailed you hon.
