I just took a closer look at the jacket. I love it! Super cool.

What about Anna Maria Horner’s Paper Fan Dress bodice with a beautifully full skirt? It has a crossover buttoned back bodice.

Well that was a well kept surprise! I’m intrigued by the dress too. I like the pants actually. It’s refreshing to see something not skinny. In linen they would make a nice travel wardrobe. I also kind of like that jacket. It’s so retro! I’m finally starting to see the charm in this 80s revival. And,it looks like the one worn by the 2014 girl of…[Read more]

She is 4, so 4 1/2 for the wedding. She’s pretty tall and as the youngest, quite grown up for her age.

@sarvi, that is such a truly excellent idea I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before! I am actually kicking myself in the behind right now. It would also help with the photos.

@reeni, in theory, I would like to be inspired by the brides…[Read more]

What an amazing pinterest board of inspiration! We don’t envy your decision in the least! How old is your daughter that you’ll be sewing for?

Looks like Lisette has a new line of patterns through Buttrick. I will get the dress pattern.

Oh, what pretty fabric and SO perfect for an Irish wedding! I was drawn to that same photo from your Pinterest board as well. One suggestion I’d make is to make the underlayer a slightly darker shade than the overlayer. With white on white I find that sometimes I can’t see the pretty details as well as I’d like.

Perfect, I was so hoping you’d done a tute for it. This will be very useful for the baby girls in my life.

More links! This is the brides dress, but please keep it hush hush! http://www.pronovias.us/wedding-dresses-2014/collection-fashion-lamero

The bridesmaids will be in a deep blue, but I haven’t seen the dresses. The fabric I bought was on the cover of sew beautiful magazine in a reproduction of a dress worn by Caroline Kennedy in the famous Avedon…[Read more]

Nicole, which pattern? I’m sorry! Too much in my head right now.
meleliza replied to the topic I need to make the prettiest flower girl dress ever! in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Sorry! I meant to say I splurged on this dreamy stuff: http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Shopper_id=962522810499625&Store_id=198&page_id=23&Item_ID=31939

  Very pretty. I think I’d do a fairy tale with that overlaying a color that echoes the brides-maid dresses. But a pale pastel version of the color.
  
  It is so diaphanous. The sleeves could be just that material. I would likely lengthen the fairy tale to make it at least mid calf.
  
  Make me one in my size?

I do have a but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it. Plus, I thought it would be fun to talk about! What is more lovely than little girls in white dresses?

Here’s my . The fabric there is quite different though, so I’m not sure it would work.

I made Beartix a Hopscotch/Tea Party bloomers skirt. As I have stated previously, pattern making is not my thing, but the result is a very handy piece of clothing.

I blogged a wee tute here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/hopscotch-with-bloomers.html if you would like a peep. 🙂

We’ve only heard rave reviews about any of Gail’s classes….so, we can only imagine how wonderful taking two of her classes would be. Ooooh, yes!! You must finish them now – so nice to have an excuse to do so.
