This year I made the boys bow ties for Easter.  I couldn’t think of a better companion for their gingham shirts.  And after making my first practice tie, I realized how fun and easy they are. Surprisingly, Todd decided he wanted one too.  I guess no one likes to be left out of the fun. […]

A friend dropped off this old pair of men’s pants a while back and I knew they were destined to become a pair of Slim Slacks for Brother. I loved the existing flap pockets on the original pant that I had to figure out a way to incorporate at least one flap on the new […]
