I’m really proud of this one guys…the Wendybird Dress and I have had many arguments over proper sleeve fit and skirt length and after a few late nights- I won. Isn’t it the more difficult tasks that leave us feeling the most accomplished after we complete them? Well I’m over-the-moon excited about this (Both that […]
Our new Footie Sprites pattern comes in sizes newborn through 12 for kids and XXS through 4X for adults. Since we’ve seen kids ages 3 to 7 all in the same size shoe, we know many of you will need to make an adjustment to the foot length for your kiddo. To determine which size […]
