We are starting a mother-daughter sewing series! Watch “6 Reasons Why You Should Learn to Sew” and subscribe to our channel to learn to sew along with us!

Do you like how it turned out? It’s Spring Break for us right now and my daughter is getting baptized tomorrow! When we scheduled the baptism, we didn’t realize it would be Spring break, oops! I was a little worried about not being able to find any time to sew for my video that I post every Thursdays but thanks to Little Passports, I was able to sew uninterrupted, Hallelujah! Have you heard of this subscription box? They are so cool, I have been telling many of my friends about it because I wish I had known about them earlier. They’re a monthly subscription box for kids 3 to 12 years old and there are 4 different types of boxes you can choose from. I got my 3 year old son the Early Explorers which is for kids 3 to 5 and it came with a cute cardboard suitcase with finger puppets, a world map, stickers, a really cool book that has an envelope in every page with an activity which even my girls thought was so cool and they all ended up reading it together, my second daughter chose the World Edition which is for kids 6-10, and it came with a Egyptian pyramid dig kit, a starter kit of a map, passport, cardboard travel bag and more, and my oldest chose the Science Expeditions which is for kids 9 and older and it came with a tornado maker, instant snow powder that you just add water and it magically foams up to a snow-looking magic(I was oohing and aahing louder than my kids…), volcano maker kit, and so many more! Go to Little Passports to see all they have to offer.

 

I made a 1-minute video of my kids loving their Little Passports boxes, you have to see it for yourself.

And we are giving away two 3-months subscription boxes, so there will be 2 lucky winners! Simply fill out the rafflecopter below. And also make sure to enter on my Instagram for extra entries!

DIY Plaid COAT TO OVERALL DRESS DIY

February 25, 2017~ SEWING, YOUTUBE VIDEOS

 

Watch the FULL TUTORIAL below:

 

 

Hi everyone!

I hope you’re having a great Saturday! This week has been somewhat difficult for me but I hope yours is better than mine! This week’s refashion is your pick from my Refashion Vision episode 1 where I went thrift shopping and picked out several items and shared the “vision” I had for each item, impromptu style, and you got to vote which one to refashion! (see the video where the voting happened here) The majority of you voted for this plaid coat and in the video I said I was thinking of either an overall dress or an overall wide pants and since there wasn’t enough fabric to make it into pants, an overall dress it was!

To get sneak peeks of the next refashion project and behind the scenes(instastory), follow me on Instagram at @sarahtyau
