Oh Dear Oh Dear!




My serger is broken! :( :( :(

I am on the lookout for a nice serger, or to fix mine. This is really going to put a damper on my sewing! :(

A Happy Twirling Customer!

My second customer sent me an appreciation photo of her little girl a twirlin' and a whirlin' in her new pair of culottes.
Isn't she pretty? Beautiful red hair! ♥ She looks so pleased and excited. She can now play in freedom, and still dress up!

Show and Tell Friday~Baby Set


Hey everyone! This is Heart Of A Mommy.... I am putting my Show and Tell Friday post on this blog because I don't want my sister to see it! She doesn't really know that I have this blog, so I think it's safe. ;-)


The reason being, is that I made an outfit set for her new baby that she's expecting and she hasn't received the present yet. Although she should soon as it's on its way to her right now. :)


My little girl's doll is modeling the outfit, LOL! This is the whole ensemble. Hat, Dress, Pants, and Booties.

The dress is made of brown fabric with sweet multi-colored polka dots. The pants and contrasting fabric on the dress is a girly girl pink.
I crocheted the hat and flowers for the hat. This is an extremely easy pattern that I found online for free

These Booties are made out of felt. I did a blanket stitch around the edges. My sewing machine has this simple embroidery stitch that I stitched around the toe of the shoe. This booties pattern is a Simplicity archival pattern that they re-released. I also sewed on transparent brown ribbon with white polka dots to tie the booties on.


I am extremely pleased with the way this set turned out! ♥

Custom Orders....

Here are a few things that I have done for custom orders. Do you need a custom order? I'll be happy to accommodate! ♥ :)Thank you to Katie at The Cutesy Mom for allowing her sweet little girl to model these. ♥
I am not totally finished with these. The lady who ordered them ordered a matching shirt, and another pair of culottes for her other daughter. I'll be posting pictures when I am finished. ♥

Custom Orders

I just want to remind everyone that I do and LOVE to do custom orders. It saves me alot of time as well, because I don't have to make a pair to show on etsy, and model or take pictures.


I got my first custom order, and it's been tons of fun! Please don't hesitate to convo me on etsy if you like the style these culottes/split skirts/skorts offer, but you don't like the colors or designs that are already offered for sale.

Right now I have these fabrics in which to work with.




And I just bought some other fabrics too, that I have had to opportunity to take pictures of. So stay tuned! :)



Now Advertising on Biblicalwomanhood


I purchased an ad on Biblical womanhood.com for three months. I am not sure if it will help spread the word or not, but it does look really cute amongst all the other ads on her side bar. ;-)


Go take a look! And if you didn't know about biblical womanhood, she is a mom around my age expecting her third little one.

She is an expert on bargain shopping and has two other blogs. One is to help people learn how to save money when grocery shopping and other areas in the fi⋅nance department. The other is to help encourage mom's with little ones as these times when they are little can be a bit tough when one is sleep deprived, LOL!

Here are links to her other blogs:
