Here’s the story of how I managed to sew a pretty decent-looking stuffed Olaf despite having never made a stuffed animal before (and how you can too). My youngest wanted to make an Olaf stuffy for my kindergartener, and I foolishly agreed to this, thinking we could go to the fabric store and get some Frozen…

I’m sure everyone’s kids have received some interesting assignments in their time, but this is the strangest one…

I wanted to share the news of the upcoming Boden sample sales and the Boden outlet, as well as tips for shopping the sample sale! Did you know that there’s a Boden and Mini Boden sample sale in Boston this Saturday? I had originally combined two brands that I like into this post and written about the Melissa…
