I don’t know if it is just me, but does 2016 seem to be flying by super fast? It’s already the first week of February and we are just now wrapping up our “2015 blog year in review” series. Today we’re closing the series with the two new Oliver + S patterns were released last year. We have a big round-up, wait until you see all the wonderful things people have been sewing!
Let’s start out with the Butterfly Skirt + Blouse, shall we? Here are some quick clicks for you:

The Butterfly Skirt is quite possibly my favorite Oliver + S pattern to sew. Yes, I enjoy sewing the Roller Skate Dress and the Popover Sundress, but the Butterfly Skirt is ridiculously easy to make. And you’ll see how quick it is to put together in our Butterfly Skirt sew-along. And don’t forget the post about adding an adjustable elastic waist to the Butterfly Skirt, it’s quite simple to do.
What have other Oliver + S fans been making with this pattern? See here.
And in case that wasn’t enough of a fix for you, here’s the Butterfly Blouse + Skirt round-up we had on the blog last year.
Now for the Parachute Polo + Sweatpants, a pattern for both boys and girls. More quick clicks for you:

We love seeing photos of what you make with Oliver + S patterns. Be sure to tag your photos with #oliverands on Instagram or add them to the Flickr group.
So many cute outfits! It’s wonderful to see everyone’s sewing.
Thanks for featuring our Parachute Polos. We sure do love this pattern!
Perfect timing. I just bought these two patterns (have them all now) and was looking for inspiration. Got it now, thanks!
I love those patterns! I made the butterfly blouse and skirt for my daughter soon after it released and to date have made two parachute polos for my son! Thanks for the great pattern!
