What People Are Saying

♥♥♥♥♥ I had been wanting to try this idea for my granddaughter for a while, so when I saw this on Facebook I thought it was great. I bought a kit and I'm glad I did - shipped the day I ordered and arrived in 3 days, before I would have gotten down to the fabric shop. The directions were easy to follow and the pictures helpful. She will be happy on her birthday! - Melinda

♥♥♥♥♥ I purchased the kit and I am SO HAPPY with my results. I was nervous to cut into the clothes, but after watching the videos it all made sense and I finished the quilt in about a week of working on it here & there - very cute and my son loves to snuggle with it already. - Deborah

♥♥♥♥♥ I loved this book!!! I am new to quilting and found the book easy to follow. Since I'm new, the step by step instructions, along with the provided materials (in the kit) really set me up for success. I was very proud of the product that I had made! Now I can say that I have successfully sewn a blanket that I could give to my kids and they can say, "My mom made this! -Bookworm

♥♥♥♥♥ Love it! I've always wanted to have baby clothes quilts made for my kids, but was unsure about my own skill level and was put off by the cost of having someone else do it. This book made it easy and approachable for me to make them myself and they turned out wonderfully. Thank you so much! -Etsy Customer

♥♥♥♥♥ I have been following Jamie’s work via social media for years. She does a beautiful job on her quilts and really has become the expert in modern clothing quilts. So when she came out with her baby clothes quilt book I knew this was my chance to get a detailed tutorial on how to make a clothes blanket with sound advice. I have used this book, and the principles taught in it, to make a clothing blanket out of my husband’s shirts. I need to collect another seasons worth of clothes for my daughter then I will tackle my first baby clothes quilt. Principles and techniques taught in this book and video tutorials are geared towards baby clothes, but easily adapted for adult shirts as well! -Elizabeth

Fun Baby-Clothes-Quilt-Related Facts!

I've been thinking about writing this book & creating this kit for 6 years!
I did everything myself, including the writing, pattern/template design, illustration, designing the pages of the book, designing the box for the kit, all the photography, videography, editing, web design and now all the marketing.
My favorite things about baby clothes are the fun "extras" - the tiny pockets and ruffles!
I honestly think I've seen every Carter's onesie that has ever been made.
When I buy my nieces and nephews clothes I specifically choose them based on how they would look in a quilt!
I have almost created 1,000 baby clothes quilts for customers!
I once had a family fly to Phoenix from Luxembourg with 5 suitcases of baby clothes, and fly back in 6 months to get their quilts.
I started my business on a basic sewing machine from Sears that was a Christmas present in college.
I convinced my high school principal to let me make a quilt for credit as an independent study class my senior year!
I don't actually ever sew "regular" quilts anymore.
I don't actually ever sew anything else besides baby clothes quilts anymore! ;)
I love to listen to podcasts and books on tape while I sew, but at least a couple times a year I rewatch all the episodes of the Gilmore Girls!

Fun Jamie Facts!

I grew up on a big farm in Iowa, but we had no animals (just grain!) so I had no chores! People always ask if I had to wake up at 5AM to shovel manure. Not even close… but I did get to mow the lawn while listening to my Discman!
The town where I grew up only has 700 people.
When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut, and I even went to Space Camp at Cape Canaveral.
I have a degree in Journalism/Public Relations from Drake University.
I was a Kappa Alpha Theta in college.
I’ve had many jobs… I started at a grocery store when I was 16, I've been a server & bartender at Chili's, worked in a health food store, was editor of a vegan website, worked for an SEO/web design firm, owned a bamboo clothing store in a mall, and am currently also a partner in a coffee shop franchise!
I love musicals! All of them!
I also love Disney movies - mostly because they are musicals. My favorite princess is Rapunzel (Hey, I make baby clothes quilts... having a favorite princess is part of the gig.)
I am a health nut, but am also hopelessly addicted to coffee! It's my only vice!
When I met & married my husband, he was a professional soccer player. He even played with the US National Team & the Olympic Team.
I spent 5 years living in Rochester NY and 1 year in Montreal, QC while Kirk played pro soccer!

I absolutely LOVE living in Arizona, and I LOVE the heat!
