I don’t sew as much for the kids as I used to but that is because things were not being appreciated/worn. So I cut back. But if they wore everything I made them I would probably sew more for them. And actually, as a result of my cutting back, they do seem to really appreciate when I make something. I just made each girl a spring/summer dress…[Read more]

Sarvi I totally understand what you mean and feel like my daughters closet is simply bursting with clothing, dresses in particular! I’ve recently decided to only sew things she really needs or has a particular occasion for. I just sewed her a new Easter/birthday dress even though she needs a new dress like she needs a hole in the head, but I feel…[Read more]

When you and the recipient are burned out (burnt? Burned? I’m not thinking Englishly today LOL).
I think of it like this–in all my crafts that kidlet wears/enjoys be it sewing or knitting or quilting–at least 50% of time/costs are enjoyed by me. It’s partially a gift for me, as I love sewing/knitting/quilting. My mom and I always have this…[Read more]

I was thinking about this while looking over the holiday sewing thread. My kid’s closet is bursting with party dresses. I feel semi-guilty about the size of my stash, so I have been trying to make some inroads, and since I buy small cuts, it limits what I can sew.
As a result, she has had a new dress for: Easter, Valentine’s, the school’s…[Read more]

Major success! I just made up a polar fleece version of my modified/fitted penny pinafore with Jalie 2911 shawl collar and free it fits well 🙂
I still need to hem it and finish the embellishment. I sewed free motion embroidery wings on the back and a swirl on each sleeve near the wrist. Tomorrow I’m planning on doing a larger swirl mirror…[Read more] -

I figured it out. I’m still not sure what went wrong but I ended up having to trim the arm hole by a half inch where it connected on the side.
Here is my little miss in her Easter Library dress!
