About Kymy :)
I am 25 and newly engaged to the man of my dreams. I have been blessed with 3 beautiful children from my first marriage, a 4 year old son & ID twin daughters that just turned 2! We live on the south end of wonderful Whidbey Island in Washington state.
In my spare time (mostly naps & after 9PM)I LOVE to sew & craft. I have tried to sell stuff here & there, I would really LOVE start teaching sewing lessons… but I need to get a second & 3rd machine first! Over the last 6 months I have realized that I am good at seeing an idea, or making it in my head & transitioning that too reality… most of the time with clothing & using no patterns! I am also interested in possibly designing patterns when the kids are a little older & in school. I also enjoy volunteering my extra time whenever I have any 
.
With the struggling economy & the need to go green I have also been working on great inexpensive things that you can reconstruct/recycle into something else new all over again! Through out this I have talked to a lot of people… I am always getting asked how I did this, or where did you get that… then the ‘you only paid that much for it!’ This has giving me a flickering flame and I started blogging! I never thought people would read this blog… 1.5 years & 360,000+ hits later I was proven wrong. I enjoy inspiring people to give it a shot & love helping them with free patterns & tutorials. Because of this in the near future I hope to start 2 new weekly blogs… one will be about ways to save money & spend wisely… including stuff on how to get the best mileage from your vehicle & cut your grocery bill in half! The second blog is gonna be about garage selling! No matter what the reason it seems to be coming back into style which makes me happy because I never stopped loving it! I plan on sharing my loot, giving tips on how to get the most garage selling in, when to set limits & also how to through a awesome & profitable yard sale yourself!
Anyways there’s a little about me! If you enjoy my tutorials & have pictures to share or have any questions you can always email me.

Hi! I just stumbled on to your site. I am learning to sew & have sewn a few items. I really love sewing. I paint & make hairbows also. I have identical twin daughters too – they are 2 1/2. It is a fun world with twins, isn’t it? You have really cute items on here & just wanted to say hi!

I want to get into sewing, not sure if buying the $20 Shark Mini Sewing Machine would be a good start. Thanks. I love your site. I think I’ll be visiting a lot!

I looked at your photo of your dining room, I was wondering if you made that cover for your high chair, if so I looking to make one for my high chair, right now it has the hard cracking plastic on it and want to make my own… I am fairly good with sewing but would love tips and tricks… I love making things instead of going out buying them cause I can pick my own colors and patterns… I am currently making car seat covers, seat belt covers, and head supports for car seats…. thanks for all the help and ideas….

Hi, I just stumbled upon your website, too. Great idea. I am so into being a homemade mommy, and I came across the leg warmers. I am going to make them and see how they turn out. I hope everything is ok with you, and sorry to hear about the “D”. I don’t like to say the whole word but, Im sure you don’t either. You’re a geat person and I thank you for putting this site up. It’s very helpful. All the other leg warmer ideas I’ve gotten were too difficult to understand. The idea on this page is alot better and self explanatory.

I found your blog through cafemom and I am so grateful!!! You have inspired and taught me so much through all your tutorials (either the ones you made or the ones you have links to). I have 3 children and a huge bag of Maternity clothes that have no where to go. I saw your 3-in-1 dress/shirt/skirt tutorial and have made a few of them out of maternity shirts for my daughters. You made it so easy to follow and I can finish one in less than a day! (I am a SAHM of a 4 year old, 2 year old and a 7 months old, so not a lot of time available!) I love the idea of taking clothes that my husband and I have and making clothes for our children. It helps us a lot. So, I just wanted to say thank you for your blog, your ideas and inspirations! Thanks!

Kymy,
First off, I just want to say how adorable your kids are! I have nieces and nephews that I just love so much, so I’m sure you are the same with your kids. I was hoping to email you, but your email link does not work. Can you fix the link or shoot me an email? I have some crafting questions for you that I’d like to discuss.
Thanks!

Kymy | May 14, 2009 at 11:32 am
I have fixed it a few times & it works for some people as I get emails often & not for others! I will try to get B to fix it, he is good at that kind of stuff! I will send you an email right now.

I was looking to purchase some baby legs for my baby girl (to be born in October) but they are expensive and they grow so fast. I stumbled upon your site. I have never sewn in my life. Edit that. In eighth grade I made a pillow
. I can’t even tell you, how thoroughly excited I am to try out your baby leggings tutorial. Thank you so much for such a fun site.

I come to you site often since I found it two months ago. I love sewing but unlike you my 3.5 yr old son and 19 month old identical twin girls keep me too busy (and I am not going through a divorce!) You are amazing! I love reading what you have been up to. Keep blogging you inspire me!

Hello, I have referred to your site many times and I love it. I adore Boden but have three girls to dress. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your pattern for the Boden inspired dress in the polka dots? Thank you so much for the inspiration.
