Simple Banner Ideas – Valentines
This year for Valentine Day Ryan and I decided we would make it a family event!

Maternity Charlie Caftan with Indiesew
Wanna have a good laugh? Search "Maternity Fashion" or "Maternity Sewing" online. But really, browse Pinterest and Instagram hashtags and there's just not that much fashion goodness happening on pregnant bodies. It was depressing to discover the lack of inspiration that can be drawn from the word-wide-inter-web, in terms of maternity fashion. So I took… Continue reading Maternity Charlie Caftan with Indiesew
