Hi Y'all!  Welcome to my new Wednesday feature!

I'm so excited to share my passions with each of you.  

Some of you may be visiting from KB Stitch Designs...

if so welcome!  

I typically blog about farm life and being a farm wife & mom.  

Today starts the first day of blogging about a passion of mine....

SEWING!!  

I love to sew...a little bit of everything. 

 Mainly I sew fabric buntings for my Etsy shop, Cookies & Milk Too.  

But I also sew clothes, home decor, etc.

After dropping tons of cash on adorable baby clothes for the Farmgirl,

someone asked at church,  "That is so cute!  I know you sew...did you make her outfit?"

My heart sank, my palms got a little sweaty when I had to admit... "No, I bought it." :( 

Now don't get me wrong I have sewn her a few things...

I mean I did make her about 1/2 a dozen dresses that she outgrew by a month old...

and there is this one that finally fits.  

But honestly most of her clothes I have bought from adorable little stores I find online.  

But after the sweet mama at church asked I couldn't help but think...

I should be making most of her clothes...

I mean really... I SEW!!!

Will it save me lots of money...no,

Will it save me lots of time...no,

but it will make me happy so the 2 things above are kinda irrelevant.  

The first thing I did was scour Pinterest looking for ideas.

I decided I would love to make her a little peplum top since she is trying to start crawling and we have found that dresses seem to trip her up....on 2nd thought maybe I'll make a few more LONG dresses too LOL.  

I also decided on the peplum top because I like that look for summer 

and plan to make her a couple of swim suits 

The Farmgirl is like me, fairly pale, so she will need all the sun protection she can get.  

I searched around for a top that I could use for both swim and casual wear....

Low and behold in came KB Stitch Designs!! (affiliate link)

Stephanie had designed just what I was looking for!  YAY!!

So I whipped up this adorable little top for the Farmgirl.

The pattern was easy to follow and I love that it comes with the layer option so I only have to print the pages I need for the size I'm sewing.  I also love that I can pick up where I left off without having to completely retrace your steps when someone needs to nurse, a potty break or I have to go feed cows.  

Would you like to give it a try?  You can grab any of the patterns at 35% off with the code "firstbirthday" through the 14th.
