Working on the hide and seek pattern, this is one seriously cute dress! Combination of fabric; patterned courduroy, plain velveteen and added hood with ears, and another fantastic Oliver and S pattern. Can’t wait til it’s finished 🙂

I just finished hacking together the Penny pinafore with all my fitting changes with the Swoon Neck Scarf Cardigan. hopefully this will give me a much better fit through the shoulders and arms in my other stretch lace.

Hi, all! After going years without sewing, I dusted off my middle school Home Ec skills in order to sew some clothes for my son. I stumbled across Oliver + S by way of the Bucket Hat free pattern, then again when I decided, for some reason, that my 3 month old needed a trench coat for his Halloween costume. I’ve since picked up a few…[Read more]

Snow day number three here in Kentucky but 60’s are in our future….does anyone know when the new spring patterns come out??

It looks similar here!
Here’s Audrey with her friend Vivi, and Josephine looking stunned!

Nicole, happy birthday to your Tilly! My Lily will be 5 next month and I’m scratching my head wondering where the time went. I’ve plans to sew her a birthday/Easter dress plus an Easter suit set for my boy. But that must wait until my current project is completed, a silk dupioni mother-of-the bride dress for a customer.

I am busy tracing lots of patterns in larger sizes in preparation. The weather is teasing us as it does in Autumn and we are currently doing a little rugging up.

Snow day here too today. We were wondering if it was going to be a bit of a letdown, as it hadn’t started snowing when we got up, but it’s been coming down thick and fast ever since!
I’ve started planning the kids summer wardrobes (I realised there are no summer things in size 1, as Audrey was in size 1 over winter, then size 2 when it got warm),…[Read more]
