Tailored Outfit for Boys {for Raspberry Creek Fabrics}

I do LOVE a tailored shirt and pants on a boy! When I was asked to sew up something for a fall blog using anything from the Raspberry Creek Fabric collection that didn't always get a lot of love, my eye was immediately drawn to the linen chambray collection, and the twill! When I spotted…

Americana for July 4

America's Independence Day is almost here, so to get in the spirit of things, I decided to make some patriotic outfits for each of my kids.
